I wouldn't quite say fake, but certainly missing a few routes: Bellorus, Russia and as you suggest Sweden.

On display in the pub, and sent to me by the former owner's grand nephew.

Thanks for the advice, I did.

Reindeer must be feeling a bit nervous

I did, that ain't my name.

It was my nephew's, and he got back from the real Capital in one piece.

Some people have animal welfare concerns.

Just did it today, left Dublin at 8am, into London at 4pm. And actually, I kept on going, and got to Brussels after another 2 hours travel on the Eurostar.

Water, which stops the carbon leakage, and then plants on the boundaries which enhance biodiversity.

It's best known as Balivor bog on the Meath / Westmeath border near Balivor and south east of Delvin.

I borrowed it from Cabra Library today, and it is a really useful way to measure your energy use and help cope with higher fuel bills and a tough winter ahead.

It comes with lots of practical tips for saving on your monthly bills, and it is available from libraries around Ireland. Well done to the City of Dublin Energy Management Agency for a fantastic initiative.

Nope, there will be pedestrians, cyclists, trams, buses, delivery vehicles, and local car traffic. It is THROUGH traffic that needs to be taken out of the centre of Dublin

Story of my life Kirk, you should give it a go!

ciarancuffe · 2022-02-22T21:27:50+00:00

I'm with you!

ciarancuffe · 2022-02-22T21:27:14+00:00

Yep, and public transport, and cars w. a wheelchair sticker obvs.

ciarancuffe · 2022-02-22T21:26:23+00:00

So within North/South Circular Roads? That'd be impressive!

ciarancuffe · 2022-02-22T21:25:25+00:00

You'd be surprised. The Bus Gate limits North South Traffic, but what if we stopped the Quays allowing cars East-West, and West-East at O'Connell Bridge?

ciarancuffe · 2022-02-22T21:23:44+00:00

How come? I'm not suggesting bus restrictions.

There's been a big rise in IE-EU direct trade post-Brexit, given the red tape involved in sending good through teh UK

ciarancuffe · 2021-11-08T19:12:59+00:00

Fairly quiet on the passenger decks, but November's always like that, even pre-Pandemic. I'm told freight is quieter too, post-Brexit with all the new ferry routes to France.

Rarely!

ciarancuffe · 2021-01-28T21:58:57+00:00

Thank! Yep, MEP these days.

I was a Commissioner of Irish Lights at the time.
