    I'm in Dublin 1 by the IFSC and for the past 3 days there have been massively loud bangs going off right up until 11:30pm.
    Any idea what this is?

    I work in the area. They sound like very loud halloween bangers! Explosive sounds, not pile-driving.

    They are bangers set off from the Sherriff Street area.

    It's basically hammering a giant support rod into the ground for use in building foundations.

    The machine looks like this.

    And when they're not doing that they're trying to blow up the local playgrounds one piece at a time. Oh the joys.

    Is it really bangers or fireworks from Sherriff St? I have lived in the same area for 3 months now, and it has only been noticeable for the last few nights. Seems to be coming more from the front of my development (towards the Georges Dock LUAS stop) than it does the back, which is where Sherriff St is.

    Can't see how pile driving could explain it. It is not loud banging like someone hitting something hard. It really does sound like something exploding. Not so bad tonight though. Fingers crossed the little shaggers are taking a break, or one of them blew himself up and his mates are having second thoughts about doing this for the crack. God help anyone around here who has small kids, and is trying to get them to sleep.

    On june 24th St Johns Eve they have bonfires in Cork.We call it bonna night on the night itself fireworks can be heard in parts of the city.However after that it quitens down untill about 3 weeks before halloween night.Is this a usual thing in certain parts of Dublin to start this crap in the middle of august?I guess it's just tough luck for the ordinary decent people that live there.Store Street garda station is nearby or is it just a waste of time calling those servants of the law whose wages we pay?
