A good aul dig at county council planners if I do say so myself

  1. You act as if planners are the bad guys? They represent us (the local residents) against cowboys and people who want to take advantage and make a quick buck.

    No they are not perfect and some of their decisions I might not agree with. But if we didn’t have planners there would be housing developments in the back arse of no where with poor entrances / no footpaths into towns or our main streets filled with hotels, vape stores and massage parlours.

    The sign in the window is only giving once side of the story and you fell for it. It’s not funny or amusing. It’s propaganda.

  2. Wherever or whatever this is has a bang of White Moose Cafe off it

  3. Obviously they never watched GMs play bullet chess! 

  4. Any context OP? Where is this? We’re they refused planning permission or something else?

  5. So frustrating to get anything done easily in Ireland

  6. My issue with this is when the council see it they will be more likely to cause you future problems.

  7. Mad stench of “school of hard knocks” off that lol. Did you make this OP?

  8. But of course this sub will only ever blame the people who OBject, not the people who REject.

  9. Regs don’t change every Monday, you just kept sending the wrong or incomplete paperwork.

  10. Ah yes, ‘regs’. Those things that are well known to change constantly…

  11. Summerhill in Meath, it’s an old pub that is getting converted into a cafe or restaurant by the looks of it.

  12. I empathise with these people. Whoever they are. I started my own business in June of last year, and I’ve spent over 3 months of the last year, chasing payments to help keep me fed while I build my business, that the government agreed I was entitled too. Only for them to cancel them without notice a month ago, and for me to spend another month chasing them, and every department says ‘Oh its not me, it’s them’ and then them sends you right back to INTREO, where it IS IN FACT their job. To their surprise. Every time. 

    I got it sorted by going above their heads, to Turas Nua, Citizens Info and eventually Ballyfermot Intreo (I live nowhere near Ballyfermot that’s just where the top dog is based) who FINALLY were like ‘What is happening to you? There is NO reason here to explain why this was closed.’
    She sorted it. 

    Literally the next morning it was threatened again, and I just called her and sent her after them directly. 🙃✨️
