Smell of burning in the air, Dublin 8

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.

You might if you'd never smelled it before.

Guinness is made with roasted barley not roasted hops.

I was force fed those as a baby, don't like the smell of them! Agree with you though, a tannery or something like that would be worse.

I was walking around there this evening and got the smell again. Fairly sure now it's from the factory as people said. Smell is like a sponge cake cooking, slightly burnt.

It's a mile away from James St, but seems to be another entrance up near Heuston which would make it closer.

During the day it doesn't bother as much or it's not as strong. It's at night when I like to leave the window open a bit to let air in. At least now I know what it is 😐️

It's not a factory, it's a brewery.

I wasn't mad about the smell when I first moved to the area (even though I love Guinness), but I really miss it now that they seem to have much reduced spread of the smell.

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

You & me are paying for the fire brigade to call to put it out not them so they keep doing it. Things need to change as they are born with so many rights like a pension when the majority of them never worked a day in there life you dont have enough stamps you aint getting a pension.

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.
