A contractor has been engaged. When they will do the job is another matter. I talked to the guy 2 weeks ago. They have done work on the western islands and knows my brother slightly. This harbour really needs a breakwater too. I can feel the pier vibrate when waves slam against it.

Your hat is the wrong colour !

Bit of an update, the council have forwarded the idea to their engineers as part of consultation process. Just need plenty of shares to give it more traction.

Great idea David but how many votes are in it . Unless done by volunteers for free. Which is still a good idea .

Beautiful sunlight happy place to be yes let's open the Postman's gate Thanks for your video👍🤩

It just makes common sense and it will bring more visitors to Ardgillan. Thanks for your kind words of support.

Yes, it would be a good thing, and it would connect Balrothery, Ardgillen, Castlelands, etc. to Ardgillan Park

Brilliant idea

Under what authority did Fingal remove the boats ? They don't have any !

Dump on water. Hopefully it is cleared out.

Seen the boat when I visited Balbriggan harbour in July

Love it👍

Nice to see someone keeping the history and memories alive

4:57 you ask these questions? Just look on harry rehnolds road. What a joke. Waste of millions on some stupid cycle lanes which nobody going to use. Harry rehnolds road was perfect and safe. Was no need to upgrade it. There are so many other places in fingal where roads are death trap, no footpath, no lamppost (e.g entire road from Balbriggan to Naul). What a clows. Have you seen that they already covered Bracken river in two massive pipes. What’s the point

During the sacking of Balbriggan the people of clonard St ran and used the style to hide in the field.

My Mam,Aunt and all my uncles used the stile as a short cut from the town. Across the stile and across the rock field to home. The Melia family is who I'm talking about. My uncles used to have us in stitches with their stories. Thank you for highlighting this.

A great little find.

Going to Balbriggan today then Malahide if you're around and someone says hello that might be me😊

Very interesting video

Yeah think they would turn the power on for the fishermen seems doe the European fisheries fund payed for it?

Commercial eel fishing in Ireland by IFI by going 60% beyond a eu directive but they allow eel be destroyed by big companies and councils

You can actually read the facts about this from all of the public consultations and ecological impact analysis that have been completed by EXPERTS! Your video is clearly created to incite suspicion without doing any prior research which is extremely easy to do online even using Google search. Here's exactly what is happening: (vi) Works to redirect the existing overflow (currently discharging into the Bracken River) from the Irish Water pumping station off Harbour Road to a new discharge location into the Bracken River. (vii) Enhancement works to the Bracken River within the existing open space between Quay Street and Mill Street, including widening of the water course to encourage biodiversity, increase planting and improve flood resilience along the riverbank (including temporary piping of the Bracken River during the construction period of the proposed development). A desk study was undertaken to gather and assess ecological data prior to undertaking fieldwork elements. Sources of datasets and information included: • The National Parks and Wildlife Service • National Biological Data Centre • Satellite, aerial and 6” map imagery • ESRI (QGIS) A provisional desk-based assessment of the potential species and habitats of conservation importance was carried out on 13th April 2022 and was revised on 21st April 2022. Altemar assessed the project, the proposed construction methodology and the operation of the proposed development. consult.fingal.ie/en/system/files/materials/30568/Balbriggan%20EcIA%2024042022.pdf

Are you for real? Just look up plans. You will know what they are doing silly

What are they up to?

Quick update. 6 weeks after this video was published the hole is still there, just getting bigger.

I enjoy these balbriggan harbour videos rarely see them tho

Derek were you not offended the job, sure you would have taken it, probably didn't even advertise it, really like your videos

Howya Johnny .

Im just blown away with the amounts of views so ive done a part 2 that ill add real soon say with some classical music to help you unwind from a hard days work. Let face it paying a mortgage on one of these houses is going to cost you a fortune and relaxing video's are now needed more than ever. Sit back and enjoy.

Pity they cant fill the hole in the wall that quick

Well said Derek.

I know it's long video but just thought that it would be a shame to leave any of the tractor's out. It was a real pleasure to be there and film this great family event.

Not to mention that cycle path and the one past Millfield are like obstacle courses. New pedestrian lights near AIB with no graduated kerb for cyclists or wheelchair users to join the cycle track or path.

Great 👌

What a great day in Balscadden 🚜🚜🚜gorgeous!

How beautiful!

Nice video beautiful Balbriggan but cars can drive too fast so yes you need a cycle path

I agree 💯👍 it's very dangerous on bikes I nearly fell off the bike over them foot paths,

This man is speaking pure shite doenst know half the story wish people would actually look into something before going at people for doing their job

Muppet.

I hear you're racist now, Father.

Is the harbour master not responsible to engage the council in regards to the upkeep and safety of the harbour?

I'm sure the council will fix this quickly.

Wow- that's massive and needs to be taken care of.

SORRY. I dont mean in anyway to be Disrespectful, but the HOLE in Balbriggan Harbour is NOTHING to the HOLE in our Tyrannical Government head's. Fix the HOLE today and VOTE THIS HOLE OF A GOVERNMENT OUT. GOD BLESS. 🙏🇮🇪🙏

After watching the video again how this big hole isn't fixed yet? That is urgent Fingal County Council when do you plan to do it?

Vote Derek

Everybody would appreciate a cycle path. Please council or highways or whatever please try and make this happen hopefully in my lifetime.

I AGREE NEED A CYCLE PATH OUT TO THE SUNDAY MARKET VOTE DEREK MCLOUGHIN INDEPENDENT NUMBER 1 JUNE 7 FOR BALBRIGGAN IN THE LOCAL ELECTIONS 2024.

I agree and many others do but fear standing up for what was an old and established community that seems to be left out, of all decision making regarding planning call it wat you want. Balbriggan started very small but there has to be some serious clown's back in the designing the roads around Dunn's. The foot paths are tiny. The blak spots built into the roads. The massive puddle that covers half the road on the bend of Hamlet lane. Footpaths that end in a big steps. The cycle paths are not swept and are in a not fit for purpose state. Wat the fuck is going on with these new foot parhs? Different levels if sucks and Balbriggan deserves better.
