    That's what I thought. Are there any regulations for private car parks? Specifically highly unsuitably designed ones like at Phibsboro?

    Signs? I wonder have they planning permission?

    Yeah the white hoarding covering the site just has a small sign saying Creche opening soon-enrolling now with contact details on it. Presumably they do have planning, I think you can do a search on DCCs website. It does seem a very awkward spot for a creche to be what with the one way system and all.

    There is no regulation on private car parks at all. There is literally no regulation of them. In fact a lot of legal experts would call claiming by private car parks to be in fact illegal, but you cant do anything about it. You cant even bring a case of illegal clamping to the small claims court.

    I imagine the one in Phisboro was designed when cars were a lot smaller. Most cars are fine in it, but people carriers are a disaster.

    It's a breeding ground for vehicle tips and scrapes. I've used the car park about 10 times in the last year and seen two incidences of tips and scrapes, and one instance where cars had to exit the car park via the entrance early in the morning as a van and an svu had left too narrow a gap for cars to squeeze through.

    Worst car park everrr.

    I never, ever put my car in there. It's a nightmare.

    I'd love if the flyefit rumour was true as well.

    Would the Burdocks premises be big enough for a Nandos?

    DK's extensive property profile being reserved for his second hand woodworm empire has been holding Phibs back long enough. I'll never use the new gym, but seeing that one of his big sites is to be surrendered to another business may be the start of a wonderful precedent! It will be the Cross Guns site since it has the parking for members, but hopefully others of his estate -especially the cinema/skating rink- will follow suit and have a positive new purpose.
    Great news! Hurrah.

    Do ye reckon it'll be long until it's open if it is true? (The flyefit rumour).

    I'm more than likely going to join georges st. soon enough and I'll probably pay for the year in one go, might just pay the bit extra to be allowed into any of them

    I don't think parking is a priority for Flyefits. I'd much prefer if it was on the NCR.

    It is the Des Kelly 2nd hand furniture place at the Old Cinema thats closing! (Secular hallelujah)
    The guy there says it may indeed be a gym, but nothing is agreed yet. Would be nice to see the premises used as a venue, even as a pop-up, before they fill it with treadmills & 6-packs.
    Ramones still gigging?

    Bumping this thread, hope it's ok?

    (Mod- this is an independent night I'm promoting here, not making money of it, more about trying to start something up in the community and want to engage local gig goers and bands. Let me know if this isn't ok)

    Trying to set up a regular music event on the northside, so we've chosen The Hut in Phibsborough on December 2nd, doors at 8pm.

    We've two Galway bands (New Pope and Field Trip) and a Dublin one (Handsome Eric) for our first event.

    Would love some local support from gig goers on the night, and some online support too. Find us on Facebook/Twitter at Mistakes Dublin.

    I can attach the poster if I can figure out how to, but I'll await mod feedback :)

    Currently looking to buy around Phibsborough. Lived there for a couple of years around 2010.  Great locality. The litter problem and illegal dumping seem to have increased since I lived there. Whats the story with this, is there a bad collection service around here? A lot of people seem to have the bag tags. Do DCC come around to clean up often?
