They don't believe anything will come of a citizen reporting crime. No real interest in community matters and getting justice. Detectives don't bother replying to serious emails. It's no wonder the country is in the state that it's in. Family and friends of the force still think their sun shines bright though. Nice for them. The rest of us citizens can just rot.

Old typewriter?…read more Well, why go out and spend your money like a chump when these items and loads of other stuff can be had for free on the Dublin Waste website? Just type "Dublin waste free trade" into Google and have a browse. The Dublin Waste website is a little better than the Dublin section on Freecycle.org, which is a great idea, don't get me wrong, but at the moment a lot of posts seem to be for items wanted rather than items offered. Sign of the times, I suppose. So if you want to reduce our collective carbon footprint while easing the pressure on Dublin's waste management infrastructure, log on now and have a ball. You may even pick up that set of speaker brackets that you desperately require.

I lived quite near here for a few years and my flat got broken into early one morning this year so…read moreit was the first time I had the occasion to call the Guards here. The woman who answered the phone was very nice and concerned and said she would get someone to my house asap. The Garda car actually arrived at my front door within minutes, however I found them to be very unhelpful once they were inside. It was a male and female Garda and the male seemed to think I'd taken ages to report the crime. He wanted to know what was with the time delay! While I felt like they weren't taking me too seriously, they did take my details and phoned my mobile around an hour later to say they were sending a crime scene person to me that day to dust for prints etc. So all in all I felt like they did their job well. My intruder was never caught though!

I have had numerous visits to the Garda Station at Dundrum for unavoidable reasons. My first time…read morewas due to a minor quarrel with a security guard and myself over some of my artwork of which's canvas was deemed 'unacceptable'. I was young and feckless. Nevertheless, I was admitted to the Garda Hq for my 'wrong doing'. When I first entered, I thought the lighting was somewhat gleaming and interrogative. Not exactly what anyone would consider an enjoyable atmosphere when trying to settle down and solve a debate between authority figure and rouge teen.. The cubical in which I was led to was cold and heartless with even more unreasonable lighting for our intended discussion. Also it seemed like one of them places where there were more staff members than customers as all I could see was a blur of uniforms and no other opportunist criminals willing to use this government provided service. Perhaps it was just a bad season for them. Left for an excruciatingly long time alone without my shoes, my server finally returned to discuss the matter in hand. It was settle there and then being put down to a communicational mishap and he was even so kind as to arrange my father to give me a lift home- something I have never experienced with any other restaurant or meeting place and an admirable attribution to Dundrum Garda Station. Nevertheless, they loose stars for punctually in solving petty differences. Reiterating, there are a number of Garda members that work at the station, perhaps a few too many considering the lack of crime in our humble community.. However, there are a couple of very butch but beautiful ladies I would consider returning to the station for pending future lighting renovations and atmospheric reconsideration. I do particularly like the uniforms but perhaps a more traditional whip and chains could replace the pepper spray and batons. Just a suggestion but I do believe it would help business.

I went to visit a friend in Tallaght and we were up for a walk with the dog. I wasn't aware of this big park called Dodder Valley located in Kiltipper (within the bigger district of Dublin 24). I could see the place is mainly known by locals and I was glad by the peace the area provides. Then you need to keep going ahead about 3 kms until Glenasmole. If you pass Dodder's Valley entrance, you'll see a gate that's kept closed but you can open it and find a green field. This big area it's Bohernabreena. It's so nice to explore the area, see locals, and even see some cattle, sheep (really) and deers. There are also 2 reservoirs - Bohernabreena Waterworks, that supply 35,000 households, managed by Dublin City Council and some people (with permits) are allowed to fish brown trouts. Public walking routes and car park are available. This place was a great find!

Oh god, even I thought that was awful) My driving licence has been liberated from my back pocket by some crazed protester who thinks they should be returned to the wild... or just stolen, I'm not sure which. The nice Garda gave me forms to fill in, patted me on the head and tells me not to keep valuables in my back pocket. I immediately removed the antique grandfather clock I had been keeping there and put it somewhere safe. For the law-abiding among you this is a nice place to go when you have to, for those who treat the law like a movable feast it's probably less fun if you end up there.
