Newbridge Chat Thread

And (afaik ) not a whisper from our elected representatives raising concern over this. Of course if the Leader or some other media ask the ‘reps’ for their their opinion there will be loads of noise. But while the ‘guests’ were there, silence.

I feel for those bagging that rubbish, the smell must be horrendous.

Plan must have been changed. Road seems to be painted for a signal controlled junction

At Liffey Hall? That's a shame, I'd prefer a roundabout but that's just me.

Small roundabouts don’t work as they can be difficult to enter when traffic is flowing. Although a ramp (athgarvan school size) on all the entrances would sort most of that. The space available for the roundabout at Liffey Hall was tiny. A filter lane works better in my opinion.

Anyone know will it open before the schools come back on Friday coming ? Haven’t been down there in about 2 weeks.

It was always planned as a junction rather than a roundabout.

Cox's Cash and Carry was sold to the company that owns Spar and the warehouse in Newbridge has shutdown.

Widening the footpath.

Anyone know have the light sequence been changed at Byrne’s Cross? Queue crawls from the station entrance/exit.

Awful pity Cox's is gone. Was very handy

Not doubting You Raven, but I am from Newbridge, like to follow local politics yet was oblivious of these meetings You mention ( one thing I don’t have a FB account & im sure I’m not alone), Perhaps all parties need to look at their media mediums?

I agree with You about CB. In the beginning it was great to get expert military views especially earlier this year when putin invaded Ukraine. I also agree though about Your view that He’s supporting the government too much, certainly for my liking., and after the deafening silence from MM about Troy, I wonder what support FF will lose after this debacle. One thing I will say for CB, he’s the ONLY TD I have heard from since the last election.

I only hope You are totally wrong though about who will be contenders for top spot come the next election. How heydon is tops beats me. I’m also despairing about the electorate when they vote for someone who went on holiday as the election was being held.

BUT, that leaves a dearth of choices.

Care to provide an example of said notice or are you just talking nonsense again?

Nothing in the local papers, parish newsletters or on social media from what I can see but I'm not on Facebook.

Plenty of notice yet provides not a shred of every evidence. Not a fan of Hayden but at least he has a constituency office in the town along with Berry.

A popularity vote now is meaningless to the largest town in Kildare South. Very obvious that Patricia Ryan simply does not care as her absence got her elected the last time.

Even her own website seems to exclude Newbridge:

"About Me

Patricia Ryan is a Sinn Fein TD for Monasterevin, Kildare Town, Allenwood & The Curragh."

I voted for her last time and I won't be doing it again.

I did not see any posts on P. Ryan's FB page advertising a public meeting about modular housing

I don't think Ukranians should be put in Lakeside.

Lakeside is a run down pit full of scumbags, thieves and drug dealers. Most are on social welfare, are xenophobic, racist and dreadfully short of any intelligence.

Putting decent Ukrainians that are fleeing a war and who have done their best to integrate in communities and get jobs and give back to communities into the cesspit that is Lakeside would be totally unjust.

If Kildare CC wish to put a modular home on my land to house a family of Ukrainians, I would be very welcome to the idea.

The stupids in lakeside use two "excuses" both put forward by Ms Ryan of sinn fein -

1. they are unvetted - are you having a joke, half of Lakeside have criminal history and gardai have confirmed that Ukranians do not feature at all on their records.

2.the old chestnut, 10,000 homeless. In entire Kildare county, there were less than 150 people in emergency accommodation as of April 30th. That's the entire county. 80% of those in emergency accommodation are based in the main cities and if people knew the breakdown of those figures, they'd have a different attitude. Lets just say 20% (cso census) are from a particular "ethnic" community

Ms patricia ryan is a xenophobe and her "letter of concern" was designed to rile up the stupid brainless sheep in the cesspit of Newbridge.

Don't make Ukrainians suffer any further and mix them with the scum in lakeside

Lakeside is a cesspit. Yes there are some decent people there, but it has a massive anti social issue and a substantial criminal element.

Hopefully decent Ukrainians will not be put into that cesspit

Just heard on RTE that the protest is postponed. Apparently the government minister i ( O’Gorman ) is to set up a meeting with the residents.

I am from lakeside. I am highly offended by your comments.

Have you ever lived in lakeside? Do you even live in Newbridge?
