Really robust article by Sam Tranum about the numbers behind illegal parking in Dublin It really points out just how poor the enforcement is as a deterrent, and how ineffective clamping is in terms of responding to obstructions and releasing them

Oof… the Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council website really hitting the nail on the head in the FAQ’s The #HousingCrisis breaks my heart a little bit more everyday as I try to figure out how to buy in the Community I’ve lived in my entire life

Hoping to get some retweets from accounts in and around Dún Laoghaire Living Streets Dun Laoghaire Dún Laoghaire Central Residents Association DunLaoghaireTweeter Ed Fidgeon-Kavanagh Susan Butler Daragh Cassidy Jason Cullen

4th Sat of the month is Kill Ave / Deansgrange #TidyTowns 4.43kg of litter collected this week and spotted some good things in the neighborhood Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council were repairing the mains pipe at the Church (water leak). They’ve also cleared the weeds from the Garda station & Bakers

Come along and celebrate the Deansgrange Cycle Lane on Sunday 8th Sept at 2.30pm Thanks to the excellent Deansgrange Cycle Route who have been leading the charge on getting this critical piece of infrastructure in the Community

Fine Gael have been in Government for my entire adult life, this week I admitted defeat and moved back into my parents house after 15 years of renting & getting nowhere near the property ladder I don’t know a single person that can buy a home in my community, they’re €650k

Fianna Fail’s housing plan means I’ll never own home in my Community… because their definition of ‘affordable’ is €450,000 They also only want you to own 70% of it, while paying permanent interest on the 30% the state keeps People want a home, not endless rent

What an excellent day in Deansgrange with Hugo Mills and Deansgrange Cycle Route celebrating the completion of the Cycle Track! We got to talk to so many happy parents who are able to safely cycle with their kids to school each day, instead of being stuck in car traffic!!

Looking through Daft for a home in my community that might be affordable is one of the most depressing parts of my day This is what we have to contend with 😢

2nd Sat of the Month is Kill Ave / Deansgrange #TidyTowns Today was quite difficult, I discovered the second homeless encampment I’ve found in as many weeks Also the first evidence of heroin use within the community since starting to litter pick, and lots of vodka bottles

No amount of tightening the belt can outpace 10% inflation on housing prices… That’s years extra on mortgage repayments

Can someone clarify something for me? The price is listed; €334,600 but that is with the schemes included So does that actually mean the 30% shared equity is on top of this… which brings it to nearly €500k? Is that not false advertising?

I got to visit The Wayfinding Centre Centre this morning and was blown away by the resource they’ve created Fully equipped warehouse full of trains, planes & automobiles to help develop an accessible transport environment that works for everyone Really worth a visit
