    I went to the one opposite Cotter's shop on Sunday and one of the little spinning-seat yokes had been torched, all the melted plastic was caked into the ground.

    Thanks. Yeah, seems to be a hangout for asshole teens. Remember madness there around Halloween.

    How is it they can install a camera at the recycling bins but they can't do the same for the playgrounds?

    Seems to be quite a lot of little sh!tes hanging around knocknacarra estates lately, why dont they stay in there own estates and leave well enough alone.
    They seem to be coming from an estate on distributor rod between cappagh and ballymoneen roundabouts.
    It disgusts me even to see these scummy degenerates

    With cameras on recycling bins you can get car reg no's and issue fines.
    Its impossible to identify and prosecute people caught on CCTV cameras in playgrounds at night.
    In most Dublin playgrounds CCTV cameras are monitored live at night. They also have speakers so they can tell the culprits to bugger off. These systems usually cost more than the equipment they are monitoring.

    Plenty of those involved in the Halloween messing were far from social housing occupants. Rotten "G4" accent on one guy throwing rocks at the shop.

    The new bus stop by the clybaun also had the glass broken as I came by today.

    Another thing for Neil McNeilis to stand looking disapprovingly at for the local papers I suppose.

    Well when kids X-boxes and playstations switch themselves off for 12 hours after every 2 hours played then I suppose they have to find something else to keep themselves amused.
    Thanks Fidelma.

    No area, just that fakey half American accent.

    D4 is a post-code.
    G4 is a state-of-mind.

    Is there a C4, and maybe even an L4 too? would need to ask the folks those forums I guess.

    Anyways, if you want to hear G4, go to a highbrow play in the Town Hall Theatre, and listen to the accents in the bar beforehand or at intermission.

    I was in Lahinch (west Clare) a few months ago and they have a playground beside their prom which was ruined. They have installed a camera system. I wonder how its going?

    Not necessarily entirely true JustMary, my Dad is involved in the arts and we've discussed this at length. It is his pet hate! He claims G4 only occurred in the 90s so it's only prevelant among younger people. I'd a friend who had a really American twang, she was from a different school and only used it among school friends, never at home...interesting...

    I know some folks whose behaviour is very "G4", and they don't sound American ... so what I think of as G4 isn't necessarily American-twang ... just kinda "posh".

    Or hang out at the Galway Golf Club in Salthill
