Excellent typo.

Malahide and Portmarnock residents just like to whine, they moan about the new airport runway through the ROAR group, they complained about Lidl being built in Portmarnock, they whine about the pedestrianisation of that street in Malahide, the impact of which in terms of traffic etc. is minimal.

Looks like the gardaí are going to put a stop to outdoor drinking. Apparently all the new areas built by councils aren't covered by licenses.

I just saw that on the Irish Times as well. FFS! Why are they bringing this up now? It's not like the government hasn't been planning this outdoor summer for months.

Had a lovely outdoor meal in Shaker & Vine last night.

So Irish!!I mean for heaven's sake, the Gardai may well have a point but the Government have been banging the "outdoor summer" drum for literally weeks by now.The Government created this outdoor hospitality concept.They need to get their sh$t sorted on this, that is ridiculous.

In fairness, the LIDL being built in the centre of Portmarnock village was a terrible decision that should never have been allowed to go ahead. Especially with so much land being developed at the end of the road.

The Lidl building is nicer looking than half the other buildings already there, and it doesn't seem to contribute much if anything to traffic. The biggest traffic disaster in Portmarnock is everyday when the school finishes.

You've got to be joking Inquitus? Traffic was already a nightmare. School days, sunny days, Sunday drivers, cyclists... not to mention the addition of hundreds of new apts/houses in marnocks bay etc. Would have far better suited where the housing development is on station road.

Sorry , that's my rant over! :pac:

Absolutely. You'd swear the whole town was pedestrianised with the hullabaloo they are making about it. They even set up a Facebook page tilted "Save Malahide Village". And if anybody who doesn't live in Malahide comments on how you like the new set up on New Street, they reply "you don't even live in Malahide". A bunch of whiners!

Legal challenge taken over pedestrianisation of New Street in Malahide

Ah FFS. Hopefully gets thrown out and costs awarded against them. Bunch of moany gits.

"...pedestrianisation resulted in lost business." Nothing to do with the pandemic of course....

New Street is absolutely bustling the last couple of weekends.

Be careful in Swords Castle Park after 8-9pm, a gang of underage knackers racially abused my Indian friend, picked up sticks and wanted a row, only they realised they may have bitten on more than they could chew. Not that one can do anything against underage kids regardless of the aggression shown as you will be the one to get in trouble, not them, so we left.

Are there bike parking stands in Malahide village ? I know there's some in the train station car park but they're in a quiet corner of the car park so not secure.

feelings

Yes, for example down new street near the bottom, outside Malahide plaza. I took a spin out to Malahide yesterday and locked the bike up there, it was gorgeous out

Judgement due in the Malahide New Street case tomorrow.

Court rejects injunction on Malahide pedestrianisation.

Her case will still be heard in October.

feelings

Another legal challenge to permanently pedestrianise the road, this time in the high court. To be heard in June.

Major Dad

What would be the grounds for the legal challenge? And is it possible to see the documents filed?

feelings

Lots of details regarding the case in the news . Eg:
