My new favourite hobby... Ripping out old telephone cables. The previous house owners had it very well wired. Replaced now with WiFi and Cat 6 cables to TVs and PS5.

The funny thing about Galway's train station redevelopment is how it's Galway where it rains so much but the roof will not even cover half of the length of the platforms...

The responses to the @dublininquirer.com survay, which indicates that serious crime in Dublin City Centre may not be as bad as it is hyped up to be, make me even more sure that those who spread fear about the city centre are mainly people who visit it less than I do (I live in Mayo).

There's a conspiracy theory that the person who set fire to the Ipas centre was a resident because he was "in his socks" but the video shows them wearing runners with white soles.

...I would love even a fraction of the confidence of people who promote Danish cycling as world-leading... imagine having all this space yet still messing up cycling so much and then claiming you're the world leaders in cycling?

Dublin is in the process of leapfrogging Copenhagen in terms of removing the dominance of traffic in its city centre, while the Danish capital is sitting on its arse obsessing over the idea of new motorway tunnels to remove traffic.
Dublin already has nothing comparable to H. C. Andersens Blvd...

The data confirms it over and over again, FF are just listening to a loud minority. People need leadership.

16 doesn't show up as an option also from it's O'Connell Street stop, and the 40s which go to the airport from outside the Irish Life centre only seem to show up at that stop but not near it.
And even at that one Google Maps option is to get one of the 40s and switch to Aircoach. 😜
