1405781790_BeachDollymount Strand, Co Dublin: No cars, dogging no kite-surfing

“There is increasing use of the beach due in part to recreational activities such as kite surfing, a sport which has increased in popularity because of the conditions in Dublin Bay which make it an excellent venue for this particular sport,
Recently there was an incident on the beach where a car which was stuck in the sand led to a woman being injured.
Due to the haphazard nature of parking, emergency vehicles had difficulty attending to the incident and the gardai subsequently advised that the cars should no longer be permitted onto the beach.
“This was the culmination of a number of incidents where the 24-hour access to the beach from the causeway has resulted in serious anti-social activity and concern for public safety.”

What part of hi-vIz do you not understand?

“I believe it’s our function to represent human rights and justice in every opportunity we can.

“The government is slavishly adhering to an American agenda.”

“It costs a huge amount of money to carry these aircraft across and they’re not carrying fellas across on their holidays”.

“There was a time where the US searched an aircraft that was transporting the Taoiseach, so there’s no problem.”

“If they’re telling the truth, then grand.”
