Two caravans parked up along the access road to Newhall Retail Park (B&Q, Halfords, et al) too.

There was only one there last week.

Need to be moved pronto.

I didn't think asylum seekers were allowed work.

Yes they can and many of them do.

A portion of their earnings goes towards the costs of where they stay and of course they don't get the weekly allowance.

I thought they'd all been moved into Elsmore. Either they've been kicked out or they're a new crew.

Anyone with issues with Virgin Broadband today?

Been crap last 2 days at least

Pure dirt all day. Contract is up next month thankfully

beertons · 03-08-2020 11:33pm

Same. A bit better today, will probably see a van out there tomorrow fixing it, so not too worried.

Lex Luthor · 03-08-2020 11:37pm

playing havoc with my smart devices...nothings working automatically

mistersifter · 04-08-2020 12:01am

Same. Having awful trouble with it last few days. Making work difficult.

Have found Vodafone siro consistent if you’re looking for an alternative

Siro is the only way!!

all the vendors have it, i use vodafone, but in hindsight i'd probably rather Sky tv.

My kid was looking for a game when we were in nearby west wicklow, watching it go from 1% to 2% slowly and i said feck this! hopped in the car and went back to the house in naas .......1 min download

(plus 25 mins driving) would have been 5 hours on the wicklow line

Lex Luthor · 04-08-2020 10:50am

thanks for the recommendations for Siro
I am reluctant to change as I wfh a lot but that could be due to change soon so not as reliant on it and didnt fancy the disrupton of changing and then if it didnt work out, being left out on a limb

willing to give it a shot now?

anyone else with siro in the area with any thoughts?

gar · 04-08-2020 11:04am

Using Siro the last 2 years. Been with digiweb and Vodafone. Getting minimum 500Mb.
Get Siro in (if you can) see how it goes and then drop other provider if it's virgin or VDSL

Mantis Toboggan · 04-08-2020 11:05am

Yeah I'm with Vodafone SIRO, It's very fast but still only get around 400 meg down. It's not faultless though and it's been down for me twice in the last few months. Vodafone TV is basic enough but probably better that Virgin.

gar · 04-08-2020 11:07am

Forgot to say I ditched virgin TV also and gone saorview, FTA satellite and Netflix etc

Lex Luthor · 04-08-2020 12:15pm

I've got Sky TV at moment and like to keep TV & Broadband separate in case of one provider going completely down

to date apart from the fiasco with the moratorium delay on the sports during lockdown, sky has been rock solid for 18yrs

I'll look into siro, young lad told me his friend has it living nearby and has no issues with it so should be able to get it where I am

Valhallapt · 04-08-2020 3:07pm

Eir contractors were laying cable on the Sallins road last week, looked like fibre but didn’t get to ask. Their sales person said it would be available within a couple of weeks this time last year.... same from Siro, it’s due imminently.... still stuck on ASDL from eir. Was going going to swap to virgin as contract is up, but this thread has put me off...

You need a fair few complaints registered with the council before the guards will lift a finger unfortunately

Any recommendations for someone to build a carport/pergola type construction at the side of a house? Located between Naas/Sallins

Thanks,

Any recommendations for a satellite installer who can also mount TVs to the wall?

I can highly recommend a company called TV Solutions. They are based in Delgany in Wicklow and cover the Naas area. Their work is professionally done and they are reasonably priced. You can contact Roderick on either 01-5253589 or 085-1489611.

I know of a local fella who installs TVs. not sure if he does satellites but will check for you.

Mantis Toboggan · 08-08-2020 11:34am

I see the travellers are still down at the roundabout and another caravan arrived in overnight. That's 4 now its like a halting site.

Seen a squad car passing and they didn't look sideways so obviously not too interested. Another illegal caravan at the back of Harvey Normals.

Instead of setting up checkpoints to see where everyone is going maybe they could actually police the town.

Not sure if we are talking about the same caravan, but I was up in B&Q a few weeks ago and that right turn into the retail park ( after the tradesman's entrance ) there was a caravan parked there then. Surely traders cannot be too happy about this, not a pleasant greeting on entering the complex.

Are we all staycationing in Kildare for the next 2 weeks then?

Yes unless you need to leave the county to go to work, or go to the shops, or go to the doctor or to visit family.

Darc19 · 08-08-2020 7:27pm

Can't leave the county to go to shops.

So people in celbridge cannot go to Lucan, but no problem if they want to spin it Athy

Likewise if you are on the Carlow road Athy, you can't shop in Tesco Carlow, but you can go to the celbridge branch

Cancelled staycation

So, what are the top 10 glorious sites to behold in Co Kildare? I’ll settle for a top 3 if you think 10 is ambitious

I find this the most distressing, no way could Naas be considered a midlands town....

Maynooth, Naas, Celbridge, Leixlip, Kilcock, Clane, Straffan, Kill, Sallins, Johnstown would never be considered midland towns.

I don’t think they have the powers to do that right now
That might change however but I’m sure there is more than 1 road Out of Naas

Newbie20 · 09-08-2020 6:58pm

I travelled from Naas to Lucan today and back and didn’t pass any checkpoint. Not sure if the gardaí will be out as much this time, could be wrong. It’s next to impossible to police.

I presume when asked all you had to say was you're from Naas and you're going to Newbridge, as travel within the county isn't restricted?

Yep. Just said I was going shopping. It was 2 checkpoints on the way down and the same 2 on the way back, everyone was getting stopped.

Lex Luthor · 09-08-2020 7:35pm

I’ve been saying it for years there should be a road block between here and Shelbyville :-)
