Keir Starmer?s Anti-Israel Policies Are Now No Different to Jeremy Corbyn?s Tue Jul 30, 2024 13:00 | Will Jones
Unlike Jeremy Corbyn, Keir Starmer has never described Hezbollah as his friends. But other than that, when it comes to Israel there is now little of consequence to differentiate them, says Stephen Pollard.

Is the Muslim Vote Abandoning Labour? Tue Jul 30, 2024 11:00 | Frank Haviland
Is the 'Muslim vote' set to abandon Labour? With three quarters of British Muslims refusing to believe Hamas committed atrocities on October 7th, it's hard to see how Labour can retain them, says Frank Haviland.

Bridget Phillipson is Wrong About the Higher Education Freedom of Speech Act Tue Jul 30, 2024 09:00 | Dr Julius Grower
Bridget Phillipson is wrong about the Higher Education Freedom of Speech Act she has just torpedoed, says Oxford law academic Dr Julius Grower. It won't increase legal action for universities but will ease it.

No, Ed Miliband Does Not Have a ?Mandate? for His Net Zero Lunacy Tue Jul 30, 2024 07:00 | Ben Pile
With swivel-eyed zeal, Ed Miliband has been telling broadcasters he has a "mandate" to deliver his unworkable and unaffordable Net Zero agenda. Not when just 20% of the public voted for you, says Ben Pile.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11Could,nt care less what they do with the killer but I'm boycotting that Supermarket until those flags come down.. Nothing short of scumbags
Its just the scale of the proposed pub development and the way the supermarket went about getting their "radio transmitting devices" (mobile phone masts!?), by deceit that people object to. Certainly something needs to be done about the Kilmardinny as it is clearly far too big for today's needs. A much smaller bar perhaps playing piped music would be much better.
tried to call the manager of supervalu to express my absolute horror at the situation but I couldn't get a signal on my mobile...
Yeah make the killer smaller needs music cos at the moment its like a morgue. No to HIGH RISE apartments i need my privacy. How would you feel if you woke up one morning and there was a person standing on top of a mast looking in through your bathroom window Very Sneaky on the flagpoles come phone masts and Super Valu - WHAT VALU!!! more like sneaky value
and what do they stand for?
are they to port or starboard?
I think the Killer has long needed an overhaul. It's been there for as long as I can remember and has never changed (from the outside at least). I can't speak for the inside as I have never (despite it being only five mins away from my home) been inside. I get the impression that it's a very "locals" kind of place. I would NOT like to see apartments built there instead. I have seen what the apartments in Shanowen (for DCU) are like (so far as they are built) and it looks like the whole road will be ruined because of them. This is not an apartment area -that's why there are none there already.
As for Super Valu erecting phone masts it really doesn't surprise me. That's a brutal shop at the best of times. I've given up going becuase when I drive in (according to the one way arrows) there is ALWAYS someone coming out the wrong way. So if they can't even organise a small car park its not surprising that they would stoop so low as to erect secret masts. Now there's somewhere that could do with demolition!
ah but they're gone now.
Just get rid of Liam Murphy and the Killer would be a great place. Ya-know, different rules for different people. And DIFFERENT PINTS OF GUINNESS FOR DIFERENT PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i think supervalu r right wit d flag poles i get a great a signal now and i'll b shopping there from now on.............
I just found this blog/article on the net. I lived in 40 lorcan grove around 1980, back then you got Haffners sausages in H.Williams and a turnover from the Brookville Bakery, but that was back in the day of Kittys shop, and aul Paddy Byrne was in the butchers!
I remember one evening a young fella got killed getting off the black and white double decker outside H.Williams, now Supervalu, the bus ran over him after he got off it.
The Kilmardinny, later to become Kennys, was a thriving place, a pint was 60p, and there was loads of people in there at all hours of the day. Des Whelan used to live behind the pub, on Lorcan Grove, he sold the aluminium windows. Some of the local houses used to have tuck shops in them, where you could call and buy sweets! The milk float used to go round, and the bread man used to call aswell.
But when you were out playing, the older lads would warn you about the "Coolockers" coming! They'd take your bike, or your ball! That was about as menacing and threatening as things got back then, but I guess I was only 5 !
Anyway, the Kilmerdinny has to move with the times, downsize, broaden its horizons, a little cafe culture mixed in there too maybe, without knocking the "local" pub trade out of kilter. Tasteful, not tacky. definitely no, to 5 storey monsters shadowing over the mature rededential surroundings.
As for Supervalu, keep the boycott going, theyre only paying minimum wages, to the few locals who work there. They're no way loyal to you, or concerned for your welfare. Erecting phone masts on the sly - Can I tell you that Vodafone will pay up to €250,000 for a 5 year contract, if you site phone masts for them. Maybe you'll notice a nice little earner at most of the Garda stations - look closer - theyre not aerials for c.b radios!
but its worth noting that many shopping centres - and indeed apartment blocks - secretly put phone masts into the lift shafts, for a fee. I know this for a fact, im an engineer. Did you know that there were 4 masts found in the passenger lift shafts in Navan Shopping Centre - with no permission, and theres an on going row to get rid of them. So next time your in a lift in an apartment block or shopping centre, just think how close you could be, to a fully automated transmission mast.
Hmmmm!
Get rid of Mick Kenny and the world would be a better place never mind the killer
