“speed cameras on the quays mostly at night,catching people with this 30kph bullshit.”

As you all know, I am opposed to this entirely. I have a motion down on the City Council agenda to bin the January changes except for the gap between Capel St and O’Connell Bridge on the quays. That is as much as I think that Labour will vote for. Any of you who get tickets for speeding at 25 mph – look to the sky and think of Montague and Labour.

I will lead the Coalition for Common Sense. I had hoped the Gardai were on board but maybe that is too much to hope for.

The Scheme will consist of 91 units in total for rent at three locations in
the city. The other locations are at Prospect Hill, Glasnevin with 64
properties, and Park View, Dublin 11 with 11 properties. The 91 units
comprise a mixture of one, two and three bed roomed apartments and
duplexes.

The scheme allows the renter to agree a fixed purchase price at the outset and then rent their home for a maximum of three years. If they buy during that time approximately 80% of what they paid in rent comes off the purchase price. The remaining 20% goes to service, management and administration fees. Renters also move into a furnished apartment and keep furnishings if they purchase the property.
