Anyone see a big fire out by the crescent yesterday evening? could see if from the by pass on the way home...looked to be in a residential area. Hope all is ok.

Hadn't seen or heard anything about a fire in Limerick, but Achill Island and Wicklow (opposite sides of the country, strangely...) have had wildfires this week.

Eh, you can't blame the council for the wind and weather conditions. Or for your own actions. Next time, stop until you have a chance to drive around the obstacle safely.

It was your decision to drive over council property, not any of the workers who put things out. Calling them "tools" and "stupid feckers" on the Internet won't fix your car, but it will make you look pretty pathetic yourself.

To be fair his post reads as if the sign was blown across the road all of a sudden whilst his car was in motion, rather than him driving over a sign which he had already noticed as he drove towards it.


As for his ire towards the city council, I am pretty sure that they are meant to ensure that their signage is secure and weighed down in blustery conditions. The county council workers seem to be able to do this and weigh their roadside signage down with sandbacks when it is windy. Would be pretty basic safety procedures I would imagine.


Of course if the poster drove across a sign which he had already noticed as his approached it, then I would have little sympathy as that scenario would be one in which damage was avoidable.

True, the council should have secured that child as well with a few sandbags.

Guess it is, otherwise there would be some horrible story in the paper rather than Jamesbond2010 online giving out about his damaged tyre.

ANOTHER KNOW IT ALL!! There is loads of them on this.

They are supposed to be secured on the ground so they would survive the weather conditions .Do you know anything about health & safety.


have to rant to get the anger out!!!

It's going to be a "cage" made from old pallets with two rusty metal bars on the floor.



Oh yeah both you and JB2010 will be blindfolded from the start.

Bit optimistic to describe it as being suspended.

Precariously balanced would be closer the mark.

Clareman

How about suspended in the air AND set on fire

The budget might stretch to being balanced precariously whilst coated in deep heat.
