Smell of burning in the air, Dublin 8

The Hops from Guinness Factory?

People buring solid fuel ?

Especially if it's cold ... it's probably this.

Mystery solved ? 😁

My guess is the Guinness brewery too.

Also, be conscious there's a difference between odours and pollution.

almost certainly Guinness

What makes you think the oven is dirty? Just because it reminds you of something burning doesn't mean it is. That's just the natural aroma of hops.

Guinness isn't going to be going anywhere so up to you if you want to stay in the area....if you decide to move do a better "due diligence" in the next area.

Best of luck in bbq season .... there'll be plenty of burny smells then!

If it is occuring at night time then I think it might be travelers burning the PVC insulation off of stolen cables.

They do it at night time because a) the origin of the smoke plume won't be visible and b) the councils evnironment people won't be on duty at that time, and won't be able to react to catch them in the act.

Metal and cable theivery is rampant in certain areas. The price of scrap metals is up. PVC smoke is a very toxic, choking and horrible smelling smoke.

Used to be a much stronger smell years ago, it's hardly there now with the modern suppression systems. You should be thankful it's not a piggery now there's a smell in the summer.

It is rampant in parts of Cork City. Even sometimes in the day you can see plumes of smoke emanating from areas which would well be known for their strong "culture".

OP - is the smell localised or when you smell it, can you go outside and smell it in the streets/when you go for a walk?

If you can smell it everywhere in D8 then it's definitely the brewery. I love it myself, can smell it sometimes over in D7 too.

If it's localised to just your apartment area then it's something else.

They can roast hops next door to me, wonderful smell. In the UK used to live near the Farleys Rusk factory and the smell of the factory was wonderful. Also lived for a few years within half a kilometer of a tannery now there's a smell you don't want anywhere near.

Guinness is made with roasted barley not roasted hops.

Have you showered recently OP?

Do you really think someone would actually be thrown in jail for burning some cables?

50% of travelers die before they reach 39 and and 70% don't live passed 59 - so don't worry, most of them will have died before your tax money has to support them with a pension.

Big difference between should and would.

I seriously doubt anyone would go to prison for that. Let alone hard labour. Be they traveler or not.
