Whereabouts was this ? Saw it on SA and few minutes ago, showed it to a few lads and thought it looked irish alright. If you look at the garda in the background he has his hands in his pockets just staring at proceedings

this was posted yesterday. Hadn't spotted it was irish though!!!

the reg plate is very clear in the last shot on the 2nd crane

beer enigma

I'd say its East/South East Coast.....

There's a Redmond Bros. Van in the background & they're based in Arklow, Co. Wicklow & the Second crane is a dublin reg.

End of Season:
We have certainly have had our ups and downs in the village this year
what with somebody falling off the village wall, thank god not killed,
and then in the wee hours of Saturday morning, a car goes into the
Harbour, with a young man at the wheel, the car landed upside down and
if it was not for the vigilance Mary King who alerted Sean de Courcey,
Sean fair play to him pulled this man out of the car, which was nearly
totally submerged in the tide and pulled him to safety, what ever way
you look at it, Sean saved his life, yet again another near fatal
accident, and then I suppose on the slightly humorous side and to add
insult to injury, a tow truck was called out to pull the car out, now
get this, the truck fell in while trying to lift the car, no donít
worry there was no one in it, it was remote controlled, but the
machine was not heavier enough to lift the car out, therefore, a
proper professional machine had to be called in, and the job was done,
no loss of life, what was interesting the amount of people that came
to have a look at this task you would think we had another social
event going on .
I am just wondering if their had been a Garda presence could this
accident have been prevented, or is it going to take a fatal accident
for the powers that be to sit up and arrange for Garda Presence
particular in the months of July and August, its time to fight again
for a Guard, but I feel the whole community is going to have to have a
strong input re this important matter this time, if we are going to
improve on the villages image. Itís not all doom and gloom we have had
some great events and fun for tourists and us alike.
All the events that did take place during the summer for our visitors
and locals, feed back have been very positive.

If you look at the pictures, there *was* a Garda present when the second truck arrived, but maybe he only wandered up from the station when he heard the commotion. Sounds like a quiet little village...
