Deliveroo couriers are boycotting parts of Dublin

Via Wired:

The information allowed riders to pin and colour code “areas de risco” or “danger areas” on Google Maps.  Much of Dublin’s north east inner city, which includes communities like Summerhill, East Wall and Mountjoy Square and shopping and commercial districts like Henry Street or Talbot Street, are designated no-go zones. Deliveroo says that increased support for riders is under consideration and that it has been working with the Irish police.

Thanks Anton Chigurh

Via Shannonside Radio:

Gardai in Athlone have confirmed that no fixed charged penalty notices were issued for breaches of Covid-19 regulations after they attended a church in Athlone on Sunday morning.

Officers spoke to a number of people who gathered at the church in the town for an early morning mass just after 10am.

Video footage of gardai speaking to people inside the church and outside has been shared online and Gardai have confirmed to Shannonside FM that officers engaged with those present and all persons complied with direction from Gardaí.

Meanwhile…

Hmm.

Gulp.

This afternoon.

Usually mild-mannered, German-born, Dundalk-based writer Marcel Krueger (him off Broadsheet on the Telly) invokes the dark side after getting his ‘jab’ (a cocktail of all three vaccines mixed with the blood of a virgin).

No need for the language, er, hun.

Thanks Vanessa

This morning.

Supporters and residents protest outside the Travelodge hotel, Ballymun and Ballymun Council offices.

The hotel has been used by Dublin Region Homeless Executive (DRHE) as accommodation with the contract due to end on July 15. CATU Ireland claims that families being moved out of the hotel have been offered “dangerous and unsuitable” accommodation.

This morning.

Gardaí in Gorey, County Wexford seized cannabis plants (above) and arrested two men and one woman during a search operation yesterday.

The streets of Gorey are a little safer.

Thanks, guards.

Meanwhile…
