Intel? I'm more looking to get to Lucan side of Leixlip so probably not much help. I guess via Celbridge if traffic on M4. I'll be starting very early so don't anticipate much traffic hopefully.

Biggest contributor in past two weeks is a nursing home in Celbridge. At least two recent deaths too. But there was excellent contact tracing and it doesn't seem to be community transmitted.

End of Next week will hopefully see two weeks since last case in this localized outbreak.

Celbridge case figures sky high- 170+ per 100k equivalent - other parts of Kildare. 17 per 100k of population - heard there was a school outbreak that’s causing part of this- hopefully Kildare county won’t be roped in - fingers crossed

Scoil na Mainistreach, HSE wrote to the principal on the 17th recommending the school was to be closed after further cases identified following organised testing.

I was passing it 20 min ago and saw one them lob a black bag of rubbish over the hedge into the field and early last Thursday morning one of the was crouched down taking a dump.

But because they are a protective species nothing can be done and then the ratepayers of Naas have to clean up the filth once they are gone

Even worse... because of a motion SF brought forward in March, they are not allowed to be evicted "while the pandemic is ongoing" which means they now have a free pass for the next couple of years.

188 cases today—-16 of those are Kildare - not the highest outside Dublin- 25 are Cork 21 Donegal 13 Galway and 7 Roscommon & Waterford

use a flashing red light front and back
the hi res jackets don't show up well unless they have the silver reflective bands in them

a flashing red light will show up 50 feet away vs jacket less than 10 red idms good vs white as white will distract driver more

some website measured different colors and distance i think orange and white did well and red i think green and blue not so well

But it was Sinn Fein that insisted that everyone, no matter whether they were the scourge of society or very well off and refused to pay rent, were given a legal right to do what the like and pavee point made damn sure that their members knew this.

And such a policy for 3 months, is bearable. But sinn fein want it long term.

Hence the very costly clean-ups on the curragh and the current disgusting pile of rubbish and human excrement at that roundabout.

Since the pubs are open again here's an old naas joke.

Did you hear about the travellers that went into the Random Inn?

They random out!

The Random Inn was a pub on that site long before the current one.
Before my time but dad is old school naas and told me that.

These people don't need evicted from anything though, they're parked illegally and simply need to be moved.

Unfortunately the sinn fein motion did not differentiate and no-one can be evicted or "moved on" no matter where they are.

That's why they could not be moved off the curragh and pavee point actually requested that Kildare CC provide running water, electricity and toilets to the middle of the illegal curragh encampment.

Do you have a link to the motion?

Strange they were able to move them on from the John Devoy Road quickly when it suited them.

They had to be moved as they were blocking an entrance to a construction site. When the lockdown finished and the workers were returning to the site they got the boot.

yeah, absolutely nothing to do with KCC being located there at all, I'm sure...

I’d love to know more about this too if anyone knows anything.

I think Kildare county council are just completely inept on issues like infrastructure.
