I saw a Deer at Newtown this morning, it was on the dunmore road, looked l like a young or female deer at a guess...didn't have antlers.
I thought it bizarre as would never expect to see a deer in that location, due to lack of fields, woods etc for them to live.

The deer was just by where the dunmore road roundabout meets passage and Newtown roads, literally about a mile from the mall.I was thinking it could have swam from island, crazy if so.only alternative is walked all the way in from out faithlegg way...is there deers out there? It's a long walk if so.

I agree lol I'm negative but praying to be proved wrong lol

Irish Pubs are really imagined in terms of tourist expectations etc the Americans think we're all up dancing very night etc ??

Does anyone know what "cerebral hypoxia" is and why the News and Star is claiming so many people in Waterford are now dying from it?

Something to do with no oxygen getting into the brain

Speaking of the papers I live on mayors walk and have not received the Waterford today today and last week. It's only a few seconds walk to the offices but it's weird not getting it in the door

I have not got the Waterford Today out the Dunmore Rd in weeks. Mother lives off Ballybricken and she has not gotten it either. They have a new delivery people I heard.

I contacted the council weeks ago, nothing done. Have just e-mailed them the above. See anything happens.

Nothing was done a fire broke out this afternoon, two units came down initially at some expense. I suspect broken glass might have caused it

Shame for the area to be highlighted in this way

http://www.irishmirror.ie/news/irish-news/tourist-left-horrified-views-roadside-8355389

I travel this road everyday - what the guy suggested (litter picking crew) actually happened over a few days only a few months ago - they did a great job and the place was spotless. Within days there were bag appearing on the roadside again. One fireroad entrance had a double mattress dumped there for 6 weeks.

The litter picking crew were predominantly council workers (i know many of them) - plus they had two vehicles from a hire company - so this operation would have cost quite a few quid.

Does anyone actually know of someone being fined? Heard stories of bags of rubbish with letters identifying where it came from being found, council informed yet they think its not worth the hassle/won't be successful if prosecute.
Also, you have dopes shouting infringement of rights when likes of Dublin council publish photos.

Years ago Dungarvan county council hired a private detective to catch fly tippers.

He did a pretty good job of it and it was even reported in the English tabloids ( The Sun and Mirror)

Fine Gael have taken over the new delivery of Waterford Today, ably supported by Jim Hacker, so don't hold your breath while waiting for it!
