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.

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.

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

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

Is the harbour master not responsible to engage the council in regards to the upkeep and safety of the harbour?
@davidslingsby11423 ай бұрын
He should be engaging with the boat owners but that's the problem but he just says contact FCC and sort it through them. Even the fisherman I have spoken to that complied and registered there vessels with the council are simply being badly treated by FCC. Sadly they fear an even worse treatment if they were to speak out.

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.
