    What.the.actual?????

    DCC have decided to make the innocent suffer because of the action of illegal dumpers in 'blackspot' areas of Dublin.

    Suspending rubbish and other services until apparantly people cop on.

    Charlie Lowe also made this vaguely xenophobic statement. I have no idea if he is trying to blame immigrants for the problem but it looks that way.
    The problem was widespread, but was at its worst in the north inner city which had a large proportion of multiple occupancy flats that are owned by private landlords, the manager of the central area of the city, Charlie Lowe, said.
    “It’s not just people whose cultural background and whose ability to comprehend the regulations is less than what Irish people would have; that’s a factor we have always tried to take into consideration. Some of this behaviour is wilful, in my view, and some of this behaviour is as a result of not knowing any better and just thinking it’s acceptable behaviour.”
    source

    So DCC waste 12k on temporary concrete flagpole holders, but cannot enforce litter laws. *shakes head*

    huh? Isn't this like people telling others about waiting X number of days to contact each between dates?

    its worse in the north inner city because DCC have an anti north city bias and always will. they should be absolutely ashamed of the way they treat the northside

    Makes sense!

    DCC have requested more funding due to their plans to recruit "educational spankers".

    They are employing people to swan around the place undercover and issue out bare assed spankings for minor anti social behaviour.

    Accidentally dropping litter - that's a spanking.
    Putting paper into the black bin - that's a spanking.
    Press the button at the pedestrian lights but run across anyway, leaving upcoming cars to stop while no one crosses - that's a spanking.
    Wearing a hoodie - that's a spanking.

    How feckin' childish are DCC.

    The Paddlers Union are up in arms about this. Spankers have never had accreditation or formal qualifications.

    That's a paddling right there.

    Apart from employing most of them.

    See what happens when you give waste collection contract to Greyhound and have waviers scrapped

    And they can also find 60 million euro to move a library from 1 side of the road to the other side of the road into a new development/building.

    Don't forget to pay your property tax folks.
    These dolts need as much money as possible to piss away.

    Because illegal dumping only happens in Dublin...right?

    DCC are the first to try this; I bet other councils are watching closely.

    I also doubt that it is immigrants causing the problem as Charlie Lowe seems to suggest.

    Should northsiders not be ashamed by the rampant littering problem that is prevalent in their area?

    Its not southsiders or the DCC illegally dumping the rubbish. Its northsiders.

    have you been in dophins barn recently and up towards cork street? litter is a huge problem there too

    Street cleaning being suspended surely only affects the people who don't illegally dump, and the ones who do don't care?
    Bit like the piracy stuff only affecting people who don't pirate...

    Why do we pay taxes again? Looks like we have all the costs of a first world public sector, but none of the associated services.

    Granted.

    If northsiders stopped littering, dumping their rubbish illegally and turning a blind eye to those that do - their areas would not resemble a rubbish tip.

    Blaming the council on your areas litter problem is a bit rich when its the native who are causing the problem in the first place.

    It takes hours to get accross "the border".....Aka the River Liffey..:pac::D

    This is specifically related to Dublin. You don't post an astronomy question in After Hours just because we can all see the stars at night.

    So your point is bollocks.

    I always laugh when my work colleague from Clondalkin makes derogatory statements about the Northside.

    (You can probably tell that he's a bit dim.)

    They drop them on the way back from the methadone clinic and court appearances.

    It might be better to target the Southside based 'banksters'.
