Douglas Questions

The_Banker

Anyone know what is happening at the end of Donnybrook Hill? Appears to be a major pipe burst that they are working on for the last three days now... Or is it something else...

And as I asked a question about Douglas, heres another one...

Anyone know the reason why the main shutter in Porters in Douglas Court is down long term? There is a notice on it saying it is broke and apoligising for any inconvience but its been like that since before Xmas so that is a long time to be broke.
I asked the staff but they just shrug...

Im kinda curious today !

Burst waterpipe happened on Wednesday (I think) and the next morning it was still going. On the 206 and there were 6 men on the phone.

With Porter's the shutter is probably down due to pickpockets would be my guess.

drove up the hill wednesday evening around 4pm, there was water flowing out of the one at the end by shamrock lawn and flowing down the hill and pooling at the corner, there was also water flowing out of the drain outside the door of the hairdressers/shop (formally known as dailys) there were 6-8 council guys standing around watching it.


when i passed back at some stage after 6. they were still standing around watching it.

Porters is claiming broken shutter, i'm guessing they don't have the money to get it fixed?

Donnybrook Hill? Because it is being repaired by council staff and we all know how productive they are :rolleyes:.

The shutter in Porters, probably because Porters don't have the money after paying their usual tax bill to pay the wages of the afore mentioned council workers.

I was wondering what the story with the shutter in Porters, they told someone they were waiting on a part from England, which does not sound right, a shutter is hardly complicated,
Have a look at the till aswell it says welcome to Easons on it?!

Easons took them over a few months ago. No idea why the shutter is still down.

Pretty sure the councils are still contracted to do repairs by Irish Water but I'm open to correction...

That's right they are indeed called Irish Water, who currently get local authority crews out to do repair works.
Touched a nerve did I ?

+1 on this, no other reason I can see. That place is doing a good trade, doubt money is the problem.

saw that the last few times in there, was thinking they same. they are really open there.... Still remember years ago walking from there into the record shop with a pack of PK gum in my hand it was those mini 5 packs ones. I was like OMG ive shoplifted but it was so easy to loose track.. I very sneakily went back and put it back

The shutter is back up in Porters, the lotto machines are not changed over to scan the new tickets yet so it's still out of order,

You mean Easons? You know Easins bought Porters & they have started to sell Easons branded items already. Only a matter of time till they change the sign I'd say.

Also I see Rooster Pil Pil has a sign up on the building next to Lal Quila, but the building still looks like someone's house!
