SDCC has €12M for road improvements to the R115 for their €40M coffee shop. This includes removing the centre line & adding a footpath but not widening the road. This new layout will force motorists to squeeze past cyclists & ignore the legally mandated 1.5m passing distance.
Little Red Squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) taking a break on the Hellfire trail oblivious to SDCCs plans to destroy its dreys to make way for a €40M coffee shop/visitor centre! Over 32K have said no to this monstrosity! change.org/p/save-the-hellfi…#Review#Biodiversity
On #WorldEnvironmentDay, imagine SDCC & Coillte are ready to erase a living woodland — a place full of birdsong, shelter, memory, & quiet magic — just to clear space for 300 car spaces for a €40 million concrete complex. Over 32K have said no! change.org/p/save-the-hellfi…#review
The view from the Hellfire at the top of Montpelier Hill is priceless — no €40 million coffee shop needed. Just lace up your walking shoes and let the hill do the rest. #Review#WorldEnvironmentDay#fridayfeeling#Enjoy

Why do some dog owners believe it is acceptable to bag their dog’s waste and then abandon the bag for others to pick up. It’s inconsiderate and undermines any claim of environmental responsibility! #litter#thursdaythoughts
A huge thank you to all the emergency services who have been working since the early hours to contain the fire off Piperstown Rd. A Status 🟧 fire‑risk warning remains in place, so please act responsibly & report any signs of fire immediately. @DubFireBrigade@rtenews#weather
To the rear of Killakee House is a belfry; this was once a common feature of large farmhouses and was used to call the workers for meals. #ThrowbackThursday#History#Heritage
