Construction underway in August at Clontarf Road, Dollymount
I share the dismay of Kay O’Rourke (October 7th) at the new concrete wall going up along the Clontarf Road. This wall blocks the view of the lagoon and Bull Island from the road and appears to be heading from the causeway all the way to the wooden bridge. None of our local representatives flagged it at the planning stages. All I got through my letterbox was the good news story of work beginning on a new coastal bike path. This view is one of the great joys of living in this part of the city and a major public amenity beloved by generations of locals and day-trippers alike. To add insult to injury, this stretch of the seafront is not prone to flooding.

Health Minister Leo Varadkar
Paul Cullen, in the Irish Times, reports:
“Hospital waiting lists continued to rise in September despite tens of millions of euro pumped into the health system by Minister for Health Leo Varadkar to reduce delays.”
“The number of people waiting more than 18 months for inpatient or daycase treatment has soared 11,710 per cent since a low recorded by the HSE in late June, while long waiters on outpatient lists are up 563 per cent, new figures show.”
“…Waiting list numbers were cut at the end of June through an outsourcing initiative which saw over 20,000 patients given appointments with private doctors. This allowed [Health Minister Leo] Varadkar to claim a 96 per cent-plus success rate in cutting long waiting lists.”
“However, patients’ names were taken off the list where they had received an appointment, even if they hadn’t yet seen a doctor. Many chose not to opt for private treatment and their names are back on the public list.”

Heave!
For the next three weeks, George’s Dock in Dublin’s I.F.S.C. will be home to the repurposed Oktoberfest tent Irish Rugby Village.
The 2,000-capacity venue will offer a canopy for big screens, a street food market, live entertainment and fully stocked bar with craft beers.
Kicking the carnival of rugby off will be New Zealand versus Tonga tonight, Friday and then every match every weekend, through to the final on Saturday October 31.
