Cheeky neighbour or how would you handle this ???

You're a very angry individual.

About 8 replies here from you and all negative. Coolbeans me arse.

Very very angry individual. Talk a walk outside in the air lad.

Lol delusions of grandeur.

Any way I am off for a shite now delighted that coolbeans is going to pay for the emptying of my septic tank. Sound!!!!

Aggrieved? Not sure where I’ve demonstrated that? You refer to posters getting personal,You then described another posters reply as vacuous. It sound like you’re using words in an attempt to sound smart without actually knowing what they mean.

I think my analogy is quite relevant to the point I was making. I’d ask you to explain how it argues it badly but I think you’re a little out of your depth to be honest. The fact you’ve stopped using the reply function, I assume in an attempt to avoid alerting the poster you’re replying to demonstrates that.

You didn’t actually make a single point as to why one offs are bad for Irish farming from what I can see.You just commented on the ability of the farmers who are selling them.

I did. It represents an enormous loss of good land when something like 40% of all new housing is one offs

It's gas that that ye think I'm jealous. No room for differing points of view at all. I was brought up with the mindset that you cherish and expand the farm, not chip away at it by selling sites. How sustainable is that? But hey ho...

I rented land to a neighbouring dairy farmer.

One field in question really suited him for his cows but my field gate access was awkward being off a regional road.

He asked me three times about "knocking a gap" into field. Gaps/gates bring trouble on boundaries in the long term.

The fence he interfered with is a boundary and it should be rectified as soon as possible.

One can be firm and pleasant at the same time. Putting up an electric fence to avoid dealing with the gate isn't the smart move.

The gate has to be closed up.

No mind games, no passive aggressive nonsense just get it sorted.

Put up the electric fence after and tell them it's for their benefit to protect the boundary fence.

Lots of people on here say you are jealous because you have a different point of view. I think this is because they do not agree with your point but can't stand over their own point

We are talking about the same thing, you are just trying to back track now. Your original comment that I replied to was about the cost to the tax payer of providing services to all of the one off houses you think should be banned.

I have taken the time to explain to you that there is no cost to the tax payer to service these sites as the site owner has to do all that for themselves and pay for it themselves. They get no assistance from the government for this so the cost to tax payer is zero. Unlike urban dwellers where the tax payer, including the tax payer in the rural one off site that has already paid for all of their own services, has to fund all of this.

Your comment about being foolish enough to buy a site without a good water supply is more uneducated gibberish. There is no water supply in the majority of one off sites, that’s why the site owner pays a well boring company to come and drill for water. They then pay a plumber to fit a pump to this well along with a treatment system for the water. They also pay an electrician to wire it all up. This cost is all paid for by the site owner, there is no government assistance for this so the cost to the tax payer is zero.

Do you really think the whole countryside is piped with a “good water supply” and it’s provided by the tax payer!? As I said originally, it’s better to do some research on these things before trying to talk about them.

OK so they are some people that would pay 50k for a site and another 34k For water supply before a sod has been turned and you call me uneducated. If I was buying a site I would look up and see if there was ESB and good broadband and look down and see if there was a pipe in the ground that I could get a water connection on and I would look down the road and hope to see a school and maybe a shop and a football pitch and maybe a pub, all in walking distance does all this not make sense to you.

Not just for water, that €34k also included septic tank with a raised bed treatment system and storm water removal from the site.

You don’t have to pay it before a sod is turned but it will have to all be done before you move into the house.

Apart from them few changes to your question the answer is yes, that is what people in rural sites pay for their services on top of the price of the site. No wired broadband available on the majority of rural sites either.

From your first post where the tax paper is paying for the one offs?

to the above post?

full circle

I'd imagine with the cost of building the demand for sites is through the floor

People are always very quick to tell another fella what he can and do with the land he owns, the money he has etc.

Any updates on the new gate
