    Hello

    Dublin City Council tell me that you own the yellow plastic barriers left along Herbert Place at the Grand Canal.

    Can you please arrange to get these removed?

    Regards

    Andrew

    Why is a pm with personal details needed. There's photos attached. Just remove them or someone will fall over them and sue.

    Personal details are required in order to raise an investigation under a person's name so that they may receive updates on an investigation. However, investigations can be raised anonymously.

    If you have any further queries, please feel free to contact me.

    Thanks,

    Thanks for the update. It really shouldn't take weeks to deal with a fairly simple matter like this. I'd appreciate anything you can do to escalate the matter to get it sorted.

    Under GDPR, what is the legitimate business reason for the OP to provide you with personal details? I'm failing to understand why you need those details, and additionally, what way those details are being processed?

    This is currently with our crews and we have highlighted this matter to them. As this is a public forum, we are unable to provide exact details as to what is being undertaken, but rest assured we are looking into this.

    Currently with your crews?

    Does your crew actual do any work.  All you have do, is get into a van with two people, carry the barriers to the van and drive back to your depot.  There is no need for an investigation. 

    Maybe time to raise this on twitter and other media!!!!

    Just to confirm that the dreaded barriers are gone - not sure who took them - Dublin City Council or Irish Water, but they're gone either way.

    Travellers here in Thurles tend to use them as obstacles for horses. I'm sure there's travellers in Dublin who'd love these. Hintedy hint hint.
