Campervans in Marina area?

Have I seen them ? no but I don't expect my local counsillor to be carrying them in his pocket if they've been sent, presumably in confidence to the council. I have known him for 27 years however and he's a very trusted family friend.

This thread is becoming more toxic than the Lee, its gone from discussion to personal sniping

You're welcome.

I don't think the thread should be closed just because you got your way and now you don't like the way it's going now. You can simply stop contributing.

Lads, I'm not doing anything wrong except calling you out on mistruths. Nobody in their right mind would empty a cartridge full of human waste from a riverbank, they'd do it where nobody can see them. It's a fabrication, an anecdote about hard evidence of which there are none. And @sporina if you don't like the way the thread is going don't contribute. You started the thread and now overnight camping is banned. Of course people with Campervans will react.

That business owner employs locals and generates revenue in the area, there's a cost of living crisis and a housing crisis and people are happy to turf honest local workers out of and area because they don't like the look of the Campervans.

As predicted earlier on in the thread, people will make up stories to get rid of them. That has happened.

Are you going to say you saw the campervan too in your next post and that it wasn't from a boat or caravan? I've seen plenty of boat owners dumping in the sea and on rivers!

The car parks are for short term use only - whether you work in the area or not, the car parks are not for people to live in. What's so hard to understand?

Double post.

None of which casts any doubt on the veracity of what I said I saw. It was easy to predict that l would say there was a campervan nearby because it was obvious from what I said that there most likely was one nearby - it being a conversation about camoervans, and all. I have no more interest in defending what I said I saw. Choose not to believe it. I really couldn't care less at this point.

So are we happier with the doggers down there or the campers?

That’s ironic seeing that the crux of this thread is to curtail peoples holidays. Furthermore, I wouldn’t be cheeky enough to suggest what you obviously need in life but saying that I get lots of breaks and holidays including a yearly excursion to your stunning Cork City and county!

I'm not slagging you at all. And of course we need regulations, but banning overnight campers from a carpark in a tourist area is overboard. You said yourself it didn't bother you that much, but you still persisted. Now tourists and locals, including a business employer are negatively affected.

Yes. "Carpark", not "Carparkforlessthanoneday". As I said at the start of this thread I live close to a carpark where plenty of campers park overnight, it's not a problem. Look, you got your way, they're banned now, you want the thread closed but you keep engaging to justify your actions.

One reason the council may be loath to create a purpose built year-round campervan park, and why they are so scarce as to be next to non existent here, is that it would attract 'the cousins'.

Whether someone saw toilets being emptied in the Lee or not, the question does remain, where are they being emptied ?
