Dublin resplendent in the late autumn sunshine. Beautiful reflections on the water, a golden carpet of leaves, and blue skies.
In fairness.

Grand Canal, Dublin 2.

The Grand Canal looks resplendent in Autumn colours, it immediately brings to mind Paddy Kavanagh’s poem ‘Lines Written on a Seat on the Grand Canal, Dublin‘…
Last evening.

Houseboats moored on The Grand Canal at Robertstown, County Kildare.
Meanwhile…
A petition to allow a number of people to live permanently on their houseboats along the Grand Canal in Dublin has amassed almost 6,000 signatures.
Waterways Ireland had asked the owners to move their boats, as they had overstayed their allocated time and were breaking the rules.
The owners were told that their boats would be lifted out of the water, stored and could be later sold at auction, if they did not comply.
A bill for the cost of lifting the boats would also be sent to the owners.
However, after a meeting with Minister of State for Heritage Malcolm Noonan last week, Waterways Ireland agreed not to remove any liveaboard boats, for now.

Poor thing must have given birth overnight. She has a rope wrapped around its legs and was left in a ditch on the canal between Kylemore and Killeen Road. Phone call has been made to DSPCA.
More as we get it.
UPDATE:
Lunchtime.

I have just went past and horse and foal have just been removed from the ditch and the owner is walking up the canal with them. The DSPCA was up and said that they are in good condition and had strong words with the owner.
The Clearing
at
The scene along the Grand Canal in Dublin after Elias Adane was seriously injured after the tent he was sleeping in was removed by an “industrial vehicle” while he was still in the tent in January. The clearing was made within hours of the General Election 2020 being called.
At the weekend.
Colin Coyle, in The Sunday Times, reported:
A homeless man who was seriously injured in January, when a digger tried to clear his tent from beside the Grand Canal in Dublin, has launched a High Court action against Dublin city council and Waterways Ireland.
…Elias Adane, the homeless man, is reported to have sustained life-changing injuries, including damage to his spinal cord. He remains in hospital.
Adane, originally from Eritrea, had been living in a tent at Wilton Terrace, near Leeson Street Bridge, for several months before the incident.
…Adane is being represented in the legal action by solicitor KOD Lyons. He came to Ireland in 2005 as an unaccompanied minor and had been homeless for several years.
