THIS WEEK, THE National Transport Authority unveiled the radical redesign for the Dublin Bus route network.
The planned change, which if all goes to plan would take effect in 2020, would entirely transform the network, replacing many of the numbers with letters, and adding orbital routes so that people can avoid the city centre if they’re travelling across Dublin.
The theory behind it is that you may have to change your bus on the way into town, but by prioritising the key “spines”, it should actually get you into town faster.
An example given at the press conference was a commuter from Dunboyne.
The current 70 bus – which goes from Dunboyne through Blanchardstown into the city centre – is every half hour during rush hour but buses are around an hour apart thereafter.
The new 264 bus would link Dunboyne and Clonee to main spine in Blanchardstown every 20-25 minutes during weekdays. It would stop at Blanchardstown Shopping Centre and allow travellers to change onto the more frequent spine route, which is planned to run every five minutes.
It’s all not set in stone yet, of course. A public consultation will get under way next week to gauge the public’s views on the plans.
And, even if those plans are left unchanged after the consultation, Dublin Bus will need to sort out the issue of increasing its fleet and staff size, and amend driver schedules to meet the new running of the network.
Here is a breakdown of how the planned new Dublin Bus network would change your route:
So long the 16 (and the 27b and the 33, and the 41(c)) and hello to A
So, currently, the 16 bus runs every ten minutes during rush hour. It travels from Dublin Airport, through Santry, Drumcondra and the city centre, before going to Harold’s Cross, Terenure and ending up in Ballinteer.
The 16 is joined by a number of other buses along the route, but that would be replaced by the A spine.
The A bus would run every five minutes during a normal weekday. Its main spine would run from Whitehall to Terenure.
Separate to that will be a number of branches of the A that would be scheduled to run every six to seven minutes during the week which link up with the main A spine.
The A1 would carry on from Terenure into Templeogue and Knocklyon. The A2 would carry on through Templeogue onto Tallaght. A3 and A4 carry onto Rathfarnham with the former circling around Ballinteer Avenue, Dundrum and Nutgrove.
To the north the A4 would continue onto Swords, while the A2 would terminate at Dublin Airport. The A3 would terminate at DCU while the A1 would go all the way to Clongriffin.
39/a, 38 be gone and welcome the B
Currently the 39a goes from Blanchardstown all the way to UCD, with a number of other buses on that route . The new B spine will go to UCD but shake up how the various nearby areas access town.
The spine will have a main terminus at the shopping centre, from which no fewer than 10 routes will link to.
The B2 – which will run every seven minutes or so – will link the main spine with Clonsilla and Ongar.
It would then go the same route into the city, before going through Baggot Street and Ballsbridge on the way to UCD.
Nice to C you
Now, there’s a number of buses that go through Lucan, including the 25a, 25b, 66 and 67.
That would be replaced by the C that would begin just before the turn off the N4 for Lucan village. So, for those coming from the direction of the city centre, they would change here depending on their onward journey.
It would go through Palmerstown and straight into the city centre. Most of these routes currently go through Chapelizod but that would be replaced by the 14 bus which would run every half hour.
Further afield, a number of C routes, running every 20-25 minutes would link Lucan the spine with Lucan village, Celbridge, Adamstown and Maynooth.
A new orbital route the W4 that intersects the spine would link Lucan with Blanchardstown and Tallaght.
D replacing 15 and 27
The 15 and 27 routes are two busy routes that travel from the north of the city past Clontarf, and through Donnycarney, Artane and Coolock.
The new D spine would begin on the northside at Balgirffin, with the D1 linking it with Malahide and D2, D3 and D4 providing links to nearby Clongriffin.
Orbital routes cutting the D spine include the N8 (from Kilbarrack to Charlestown Shopping Centre) and the N6 (linking Howth to DCU).
Getting on the N6 in Howth for example, would allow someone to get to the city centre by changing onto a D bus when you reach that spine.
When the D spine splits off in Crumlin, the D2 provides a link to Tallaght while the D3 provides a link to Milltown.
The demise of the 46a… and the 13.
When Shane Ross was asked about what constituents might think of the end of the 46a, he laughed. But that’s exactly what the new E spine would do, running from just outside Cornelscourt to Ballymun.
The spine – in the south – would link with the E1 and 32.
The E2 travels to Dun Laoghaire, and is served by a number of orbital routes, including the 221 to Killiney, the 229 to Bride’s Glen.
The E1 goes to Bray and Ballywaltrim, and south Dublin into Wicklow is served by a number of routes that connect with the E1 at Bray.
The buses that goes furthest south are the 201 and 202, that reach Delgany, Kilpedder, Kilcoole and Newcastle.
In terms of north Dublin, the E2 will link Ballymun with Charlestown shopping centre.
The N4 bus will cut the E spine just outside Ballymun, providing a link to Blanchardstown, Donnycarney, Killester and the Docklands.
F spine
The F spine is one of the shorter ones.
It starts at Harold’s Cross and ends up just outside Finglas, replacing one half of the 40 bus route.
One it reaches Finglas it branches off into the F1, 2 and 3 which takes separate routes on its way to Charlestown Shopping Centre.
To the south, those buses branch off into Perrystown and Cherryfield.
No more 40 or 79 with the G
The G spine links Ballyfermot and Inchicore with the city.
It follows the half of the route the 40 does with the G1 branching off from Ballyfermot Road and terminating past Park West.
The G2 will go to Liffey Valley where it can link up with the C spine.
The S4 meanwhile will travel through Ballyfermot, and link it with Bluebell, Crumlin, Terenure and Clonskeagh before terminating at UCD.

Open the gates. Sure what can go wrong?
Yet more blood on the hands of the useful idiot, Merkel
“Obvious Breivik links” /
Even though Breivik is an anti Muslim white supremacist. That kids in Munich had more links to the Isla Vista, California killer Elliot Rodger IMO
Honestly, where do you get the idea that left wing people are content with incidents like this? I actually find it hard to believe you really think that’s the case. And calling for a deal whereby left wing people and their family’s are attacked? I think you’re the halfwit here!
Heard on the radio that the woman was his wife RIP
Maybe an Irish/European Politician should comment here to let us know their views on why European citizens are being murdered by the policies of these same politicians.
Garath, real easy, leftist fools let them in.
Garath, one more thing, people who don’t want them in shouldn’t have to suffer their crap, the only people who should suffer their crap is the fools (very dangerous fools) who let them in
And because it’s his wife that makes it some what less barbaric? It’s your warped mindset dave. The suspect arrived one yr ago as an unaccompanied 17yr old male. Fast mover
Where did Dave say that made the attack “less barbaric”? Lol?
Dave and yourself malachi are constantly making excuses for these attacks. Blaming mental health or victim blaming as if we as Europeans deserve this. By saying he heard it’s his wife he is trying to take away from the fact that this is a refugee and his religion has given him a higher propensity for violent acts.
How come so many were aged 17? Some weird Syrian anomaly?
Cholly, I don’t know if you’re very good at reading comments but you’ll have to point out one instance in which I have said Europeans deserve terror attacks or where I have blamed mental health.
Thought these men only stoned their woman to death…stabbed his wife ..hard to find good rocks..stones in German city centre perhaps.
Their countries have been bombed relentlessly for decades, these guys didn’t just wake up one day and decide to come here and set out to kill people… These western created Islamic extremists will be the excuse that’ll be used when the wars in the Middle East are escalated to sometime much bigger! All part of the plan!
100% Dec -
I heard he was looking for a can of petrol….
What has a pregnant woman in Germany got to do with wars in the Middle East. Did the Iraq war also cause the migrants from North Africa and parts of Arabia to become sexual perverts and attack innocent women in Cologne.
The attacker was known to police for having a history of violence. Why was he allowed remain?! Germany is cucked.
There is that vacuum mentality at work again, maybe this is pertinent here too
Right-wing extremism remains a center-stage issue and is on the rise. Far-right extremists committed more than 16,000 crimes in 2014, including 990 violent crimes.
In essence, you have to be quite unlucky for crime to be terrorism based. Germany overall is not a dangerous place.
Left-wing extremists committed 4,400 crimes in 2014, of which 995 were violent.
I made no apology, I made no attempt at justifying anything at all.
One should be more worried about extremist-led crime, in Germany.
Cholly I’m very interested in how the 3+21 year old suspect arrived last year aged 17 though
Exactly Padraig/Muhammed, or what ever your name is, we should totally look the other way.
Oh look, over there!!!
@beachmaster. Exactly right. Someone known to police for violent acts should never been out free. Disgusting situation.
Zero indication as yet about motive. And no mention of religion.
Ah Dec Rowe , that’s a sound explanation , we should release him and give him a reward . Liberal idiot !!
@cholly appleseed…..Well said! You spotted that slip right fast!
Gareth because the Left want open borders. That’s how he got in.
Approximately half a million people will be murdered by the end of this year in the Western world. Approximately 40 people were murdered in the U.S today. And none of it is terrorism…
I just read shes polish and pregnant and it seems this guy fell in love with her or something…
You have more chance of being killed by a cow in the UK than terrorism
I’m sure these facts about cow deaths will be of great help to the grieving families of terror attacks.
“Oh don’t worry too much about the slaughter of your wife, I’ve heard cows are more likely to kill you in the UK, haha!”
Oh, the emotive empty rhetoric – Yawn……….. Just remember what your ‘kind’ are. Hate installing, radical breeding, a gun hand giving, murderously inspiring, goblins on the ass*ole of the universe.
Keep going lads, it’s a note raining to watch the Olympic level of jumping to conclusions.
Empty emotive rhetoric?
So you think the families of terror victims WOULD be consoled by your nonchalant denial of the problem of terrorism?
Padraig.. You’re an apologist for a death cult from the Dark Ages founded by a pedophile for crying out loud. The people you want us to embrace has proven time and time again that they’re incompatible with 21st century society. If they’re not killing us here they’re killing their own in the millions throughout the Middle East and beyond.They always have some excuse or sob story about someone forcing them to do it. They’ll attack us if we do nothing and attack us when we do. It’s really time to play hard ball. Absolutely no more refugees, no more mosques, no more burkas or hijabs, no more calls to prayer. Immediate deportation for anyone who claims to be a refugee but won’t engage in the process. An end to the endless appeals process. Fingerprinting of every applicant. A crackdown on illegal workers.A five year work history before any non EU migrant can claim social welfare. A language competency test after five years for all family members. Enough is enough…. It time they either integrate or they leave.
Paddy you might let us know when you touch base with reality please….
This was all predicted…just months ago…
“Right-wing extremism remains a center-stage issue and is on the rise”
And it doesn’t get much more right-wing extremist than islamofascism, so I’m not sure why you’re so keen to try and deflect from it.
See if you could lift your head out of the hate Gulfstream, Avina. You would understand that the bollox your kind spruik throughout the site is that inspiring right-wing radicalisation. Once, you see that, own that, and look at the hypocrisy we may have a better chance in fighting extremism, which is the biggest issue of today.
So what do you do Padraig to prevent islamic radicalisation? Is this even an issue for you? Is right-wing radicalism a bigger problem than islamism?
Do tell Kerry.. which of those proposals is unworkable to you and why?
When a pregnant woman gets killed by an Islamist extremist in Germany, it makes it easy for Europeans to turn their cheek when 100s of 1000s of men women and children are being bombed in the home countries of said extremists!
Padraig, full of shyte as usual. As I have always said, the vast majority of muslims are ordinary decent people. There is a huge difference between islam and islamofascism. It’s pretty ironic that it is you that is failing to distinguish between the two – what does that say about you?
Well Paddy I’d start with you to be honest as from your posts it’s fairly clear you have no grip on reality….
Dec, if it was the bombing of civilians that caused these extremists to kill Westerners, why has Islamic terrorism been tearing up countries where there are no coalition bombings?
Maybe the Indonesian Islamists who slaughter their own people are mad about the Iraq war or Syrian civilian deaths, are they?
What about Boko Haram? I suppose their kidnapping of hundreds of schoolgirls was a protest against Blair and Bush?
This facile nonsense of pretending Islamist fundamentalism has arisen purely from the West’s missteps in the Middle East should be put to bed.
Kerry, if you can’t answer a simple question or defend your position what exactly are you doing posting here ? If all you’re capable of is insulting people it really doesn’t say much for your own grasp on reality now does it. Now, what part of anything that I’ve proposed do you have a problem with exactly bearing in mind those proposals are aimed at adults between the ages of 18 and 65….
Padraig, what will inspire a far right back lash is attack after attack coupled with leaders who are unwilling to bite the bullet, admit there is a problem, stop importing more of the problem and crack down properly on Islamic radicalism in Muslim communities and the failure of many in those communities to integrate. At this point it’s almost an inevitability. Of course you’ll be pointing fingers at everyone except those who’s policies allowed the conditions for the current slaughter on European streets to exist in the first place. It’s only a matter of time before some right wing lunatic takes “matters into their own hands”…
And another blast in Bavaria… Bar near a music festival…. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-36880758
If they won’t settle and live in peace send em back. Load the trains up and send them on they’re way.
Harsh, but what’s the alternative. Reprisal killings will be next.
The Germans have a rich history of loading people onto trains and sending them off
And their chancellor holidaying in the Alps!!!
As do the French,Austrians,Hungarians,Russians….
I think Germans are a bit sensitive to loading people onto trains…
Experienced.
Wow, the very first reply to Brian’s comment relates to godwins law. Actually I’m not suprised the far left PC brigade libtards never cease to amaze me with their window licking abilities.
Get them out NOW ! Merkel wants her cheap labour & to ruin Europe in the process – OUT OUT OUT & Fu(k dem bleeding hearts. Time for us to protect Europeans, our children. NO MORE MUSLIMS. Time to wise up.
Well said. Fcuk the lot of them out.
Ya, well in this case they may be right.
Brian, exactly, once these f¥@kers touch any of Europe’s people, they should be automatically fast forward to Allah
As if the quislings of Ze EuroRaum aren’t compliant in the systematic bombing and slaughtering throughout the Axis of Gazprom! The new Far Rightard XenoTroll anthem on Britain First’s got talent! https://youtu.be/EDp3Zr0Tk4s
James Delaney 5 hours ago #
100% agree. They can take the bleeding hearts with them.
@conri – Ur Ever the half way house man. ‘In this case’. Very Diplomatic. Wud u piss off & make a definitive decision for once in ur pathetic life. Another ‘half-way house’ bleeding heart who suffers indecision & has not got the balls to stand like a man for propriety, decency & for your family. Fu(k these imposters who are wrecking our freedom & many lives.
I see another horrific knife attack from France that happened during the week didn’t get proper news coverage.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/07/19/man-stabs-french-woman-and-her-three-daughters-for-being-scantil/
That atrocity was hushed up….the attacker was insane and was provoked by the children apparently.
A lot of the facts seem to be hushed up when it comes to Islamic terror. https://themuslimissue.wordpress.com/2016/07/15/french-cover-up-bataclan-victims-in-paris-were-disemboweled-while-alive-had-eyes-gouged-out-genitals-stabbed/
Just like all the attacks on yazidis refugees across Germany by other Muslim “refugees”.they want to be protected while spreading their religious hatred towards everyone else!!
Rowe…that is shocking…but from Wahabbis,not surprising.the cover up is equally unforgivable.
@Dec Rowe
Louise Mensch? The women who thought Charlie hebdo was a man, thought the Brussels attacks were done by refugees? The woman who clearly is against any refugees being given asylum in europe. Not really an impartial and reputable source.
A bombs just gone off in a bar in Ansbach killing 1 and injuring 11. You’d think the journal would at least have one person on through the night.
Merkel has to go. She’s a traitor to all of Europe.
Their 1st homicide bomb? How will Ms Merkel explain this away….or indeed our own posters who are at pains to claim how good Christian cows pose more of a risk….
Most of the “new Europeans” have brought their tribal/sectarian/religious/social/ethnic hatreds and conflicts with them…to hack a woman to death in a public place..maybe he thought he was back home in Deir Ezzor.
This is getting ridiculous …and we’re inviting and bringing these people in freely? Really? It’s going to get worse people. It sure is.
The only way I feel confirtable about thise 4,000 syrians arriving to Ireland is if it is solely made up of whole families and not 4,000 single 23 year olds. Wonder is Angela Merkel still convinced theyre all doctors and lawyers? Shes a headcase and I cant understand why there isnt more talk of her feck up????? Its never mentioned. Its like shes still accepted as the head of the EU and nobody is holding her to account. You woukd imagine her own people would no??? Like we think we’re bad here but we ring ghem out to dry (example Alan Shatter) that was a witch hunt. I think if all that was going on here we would be up in arms. Its relative silence over there despite the barage of attacks. Odd.
Agreed Oonaghpoonagh, but I think it’s the single male variety coming here and not families. I think 77% of the migrants are young males.
Ehhhhhhh: You forget the Family Re-unification clause Enda signed up to. You can multiply 4,000 by 4 at least, we have to include aunts uncles, jihadists etc.
Remember we do not “have” to take in anybody.
Sure there is plenty of hotels in the West to accommodate people, because Leinster is brimming over with our own.
Bring on the thumbs: The Truth hurts.
Even families include teenagers that grow to become terrorists. Just keep them out of the country.
I suppose Sweden could be considered a glimpse into Ireland’s future
And our blasphemy laws will gag us….while pavee point et al will advocate for jihad as a lifestyle choice and Wahabbism must be celebrated as culture.
If I made the above statement a year ago on the Journal there would have been uproar to say the least.
Well done you Irish people, I am Irish born and bred, and proud of it. I think you citizens have turned a corner , well done.
GET THEM OUT NOW. THEY ARE A HUGE RISK TO OUR WAY OF LIFE.
Over exaggerate much James? After all more people are killed in the USA by guns then ISIS has managed to kill in Europe. Relax will you the only risk to your way of life is yourself James.
Ah, thanks Kerry, I’m sure your views will be a great comfort to the family’s of the people murdered by these $cum.
As it will be cold comfort to all those afflicted by the ‘unintentional’ bombing of no less than FOUR hospitals earlier in Alleppo at the grabbing hands of the combined NATO/Russia led Coalition of the Drilling/Killing!
The 4000, once in, will have family members, who once in, will have family members, who once in, will have family members, who once in…….
Once again conri with no idea about what they are talking about preaches just like the Taliban. Sad really I thought Irish schools provided a better education. Guess I was wrong.
I’m proud to inform you Kerry that I’ve learned most of my history when I left school, both Irish and European, real factual history from real factual books.
I’m not Irish, but I love Ireland and do not want this beautiful island it to be ruined by those savages. Irish people must protect their home land from this horrible invasion.
So what you saying there U’redactable is that you want a complete cessation of Western and Russian involvement in Syria? Because unless that happens it’s unavoidable that civilians will be killed. What then?
Well if nothing else it should begin to cease driving yet more surviving victims of Western/Russian imperialistm and naturalised sympathisers into the willing and exploitative arms of sunni jihadists and begin to at least deprive them of that rallying cry for what they see as retaliatory ‘collateral’ attacks in Europe and elsewhere currently connected with the ‘grand coalition’, whose only real interest in the region currently is the disputed routes for supply of gas from the vast Iranian/Qatari South Pars gas field!
Lovely, exactly right, this is not about colour creed or class, this is about compatibility, anyone from these countries are welcome in ours, but once their beliefs are that of young girls being married off young, women left uneducated and covered head to toe in a sack, telling the people of the country what they can and can’t do as they are in England, calling for the very laws and conditions they fled to be installed in our countries so it will be us and our children who have to flee next time, then these type are not welcome, and those already here should be sent back, any of this type born in our countries should be given a choice, abide by our laws and fit in, else, f- u -c- k off to the homeland of your preference and see how long your love of their ways last.
@kerry blake. Under-estimate Kerry? Ur another 1 of these innocent bleeding hearts who is prepared to put your country & your fellow citizens at risk. These people are incompatible with our culture. They are not tolerant & have no notion of accepting or enjoying our hard fought-for, freedoms.
These migrants will not integrate, a lot of them are illiterate and as of no basically none are employed by any listed company on the German stock exchange. Europe has basically been sent the idiot sons of families that have no clue what to do with them.
So if your employed by a company listed on the Deutsche Börse your okay and no danger to anyone. Really?
Kerry, can you keep quite before some more of these fools take your idiotic comments as a sign to keep murdering European citizens.
Conri, I thought it was their religion making them do it? Now you say it’s comments on the journal?
conri let me know when you arrive in the real world.
Integration equals apostasy….certain death for Wahabbis.
@Dave O Keeffe……….Or much more plausible the volatile mixture of Mohammedan brain-washing and inbreeding which is almost 50%.
—”Statistical research on Arabic countries shows that up to 34 percent of all marriages in Algiers are consanguine (blood related), 46 percent in Bahrain, 33 percent in Egypt, 80 percent in Nubia (southern area in Egypt), 60 percent in Iraq, 64 percent in Jordan, 64 percent in Kuwait, 42 percent in Lebanon, 48 percent in Libya, 47 percent in Mauritania, 54 percent in Qatar, 67 percent in Saudi Arabia, 63 percent in Sudan, 40 percent in Syria, 39 percent in Tunisia, 54 percent in the United Arabic Emirates and 45 percent in Yemen (Reproductive Health Journal, 2009 Consanguinity and reproductive health among Arabs.).—”
http://en.europenews.dk/-Muslim-Inbreeding-Impacts-on-intelligence-sanity-health-and-society-78170.html
My name is about the only accurate thing in that
Patrick if your going to quote figures best not to use a white power rag as a source.. You could always of course use the original figures from the peer reviewed study they’re taken from. Interestingly enough from a survey conducted by Muslim’s themselves… https://reproductive-health-journal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1742-4755-6-17
Similar to our travellers but it works for them…..
Funny how Patricks numbers are very different to those of the original source
@Dave O Keeffe………….Funny how you said Munich mass Muslim murderer had some link to Breivik and now, a I suspected right from the start, he has accomplices (Afghani-Muslim) as reported by Munich Police.
And ,as I also suspect, this will be like the Orlando Mateen mass murderer episode,a family supported Jihadi suicide affair.
Kerry/Dave, compatibility, this is what it boils down to, even if these attacks were 50% less, even if was only a few a year instead of a few a month “and rising”, what do you say to the young girls in France who were stabbed by one of these halfwits, would you tell them to show tolerance as it’s part of his culture. Showing tolerance is great isn’t it, especially when your not affected by the issue, “yet”
Germany’s open door policy has come back to haunt them..
Close the fuppin door, were ya born in a field?
This type of violence will soon be in the UK and Ireland. It’s scary how it’s increasing on an almost daily basis.
Debbie,Fianna Fail,Fine Gael,Sinn Fein and the Labour party airbrushed the refugee and migrant issue out of our recent general election campaign because they were and are terrified of the emergence of a so called right wing party like the freedom party in the netherlands.We need to take back control of our borders in order to properly vet who comes into our country,and we should’nt be ashamed of doing so.Amnesty International and the Immigrant council of Ireland should be reminded that they were not elected to run this country.
I completely agree John.
@Debbie Fahey……Quite so Debbie! And as another commenter said recently Ireland may be much worse because Garda are not armed-what will we do! My suggestion in reply was for everyone to call and meet in person with their TD and looking him/her in the eyes say that you want something done ASAP to prepare for the worst which is coming.
We cannot afford to treat this as a fault in the road waiting for an accident to happen before we fix it.
My second suggestion was ,for those interested , to get some First Aid Training so as to aid the injured.
@john Wilson your man from Amnesty was on the right hook a while back. Listen to the podcast. He’s a nutjob
Patrick you have no clue but never mind.
John we take back “control of our borders” to “vet” those applying. How do you “vet” a refugee?
Kerry,the primary responsibility of every government is the security and safety of its people.In 2004 Ireland became a dumping ground for eastern european criminals,that,s not sensationalist language,that,s a fact.A prisoner can be released from a prison in Poland,Lithuania or Italy for that matter tomorrow morning after serving 15 years for murder and rape and under our current open borders policy that individual can legally travel to Ireland tomorrow evening and take up residence next door to you.We must change our laws to prevent these people from entering Ireland.To answer your specific question,refugee status should only be granted after a vigorous interrogation process,and only then on the strict condition that they fully accept our cultural practices and integrate.If they don’t comply or become radicalised or break any of our laws,they should be removed immediately and no defence of threats of torture should be accepted to prevent their expulsion.Our country our laws,its as simple as that.And bye the way,during over thirty years as a Garda I was never a member of the hang them and flog them brigade but we must wake up as a people and force our cowardly government to fulfil their obligations to protect us.
Sure John our own local crims are released even earlier! Are you advocating one law for locals and another for foreigners? If you are then you are a disgrace to your former uniform.
@Patrick
I honestly think there’s no politician in Ireland or any EU country that will go against the massive political correctness beast for fear of being labelled a racist. The politicians in Ireland would rather keep the head down and vanish into the sunset with massive pensions without going against the PC overlords. We would write to them bu get a default reply back I’m sure. You’re correct though in that in theory we should be following that path.
John Wilson.excellent and reasonable post.
Ms Fahey…well put.
Well said John Wilson .Cllr Seamus Treanor
Kerry,as you are well aware we cannot throw our own homegrown criminals out of the country,The European exclusion order was adapted into Irish law several years ago which enables the removal of EU nationals who have broken our laws back to their country of origin for up to five years which should be amended to life ban from Ireland, but while the UK have thrown out several thousand criminals soft touch Ireland has excluded very few.Many of these criminals are now living here which is a sick joke.
Funny John I thought we were talking about none EU nationals,,,,
Two elderly metro passengers in Munich were attacked by a group of Arab-looking young men recently after they attempted to protect a young female from being sexually harassed. The alleged asylum seekers went berserk when the old men tried to stop them.The assault that took place on a train going from Sendlinger Tor station to the Munich city center terminal was originally video recorded on a mobile phone by Munich citizen Tom Roth, who uploaded it to his Facebook page.The clip lasting less than a minute shows how several young Arab-looking men attack two elderly Germans, who moments earlier had come to the defense of a young woman harassed by the same group.
Meanwhile in train to Bremen (Germany) only today, another 19 year old cultural enricher tried to stab passengers in neck and back, gladly nobody was hurt. These incidents dont even make to English news stations as happen too often / daily, shocking what kip Germany has become in last 2 years or so.
http://m.kurier.at/chronik/weltchronik/hamburg-mann-zueckte-messer-im-zug/211.569.666
Tomasz, I’m not denying these incidents are occuring more frequently or anything, but Germany is far from a kip. Everywhere I’ve been in Germany feels much safer than Dublin.
Indeed. Imagine if that was your own elderly father or grandfather. Is that what they worked all their lives for? we are disgracing them and our ancestors by altering the country that they built by bringing in this alien and hostile culture.
Colonel: of course by using word kip I exaggerate a bit, however I lived couple years in Germany and still have some friends there including native Germans and they are terrified – local school is changed 180 degrees since arrival of cultural enrichment, in peaceful 200K town there are no go areas etc. Average people like hear won’t speak out as don’t want to branded racist or unwelcoming but pretty much everyone thinks now the same. Only hardcore brainwashed folk is still trying to push that refugees agenda…
One should be more worried about extremist-led crime, in Germany.
Left-wing extremists committed 4,400 crimes in 2014, of which 995 were violent.
Right-wing extremism remains a center-stage issue and is on the rise. Far-right extremists committed more than 16,000 crimes in 2014, including 990 violent crimes.
In essence, you have to be quite unlucky for crime to be terrorism based. Germany overall is not a dangerous place.

Paddy We know what you are about. http://www.irishtimes.com/polopoly_fs/1.1885351.1406937068!/image/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/box_620_330/image.jpg
Hate installing, radical breeding, a gun hand giving, murderously inspiring, goblin on the ass*ole of the universe. Oh….and A zionist
Oh dear Padraig, hit a nerve did I? Will you be blaming last nights suicide bomb blast on ‘right/Left wing criminals’ or ‘Zionists’? anyone but the obvious, your precious Islamofascism. Bleeding heart clown.
Obvious answer is to bring more of these guys into Europe sure if it was the opposite way around they wouldn’t help us but like it be grand lads complain and you’re bigots. Disagree if you dare.
Jeez, that’s three in the space of a week for Germany.
An Afghan in the first, an Iranian in the second, and now a Syrian in the third. Any pattern emerging here?
If only there were people around at the time who were critical of Merkels open borders decision…oh wait…imbeciles!
I don’t think the Munich shootings were related to Islam, it was more like what frequently occurs in the USA. The other incidents are very worrying though.
It was just a co-incidence he was a Muslim?
I have a bridge to sell you.
I’m not a Muslim apologist. From from it. I’m fairly right-wing when it comes to immigration. But I honestly don’t think that particular attack was related to Islam (unlike all the others).
@colonel i totally agree. More like Elliot Rodger a bullied teenager with mental health problems. Also he was Iranian. Wrong sect
According to further reports this was a disagreement in a kebab shop. This guy got so annoyed by a kebab shop run in that he slaughtered a pregnant woman. She was pregnant , another point left out by much of the media… This is what our continent has to live with
~Kebab shop row
Have just read the woman that was murdered was pregnant.
F#$k them all out
I’m putting a pig farm In the front garden
The refugee council will object to your planning application….so will the migrant council…and ruhama..pavee point…SF..Clonskeagh mosque…
it seems like it was his wife…..Sharia begins at home
Be here.in Ireland before we know it. I long for a mainstream right wing (hardly far right) party like Afd in Germany. I oppose the way the migrants have been allowed pick a country while I hardly welcome the neo con return in politics but Europeans need these parties ,they have so far been ignored
Thing is we don’t need a right wing anything as they’d most likely throw the baby out with a bath water. We need a party that realises that the greatest threat to the values of western Europe at the moment is Islam and that it’s OK to pick and choose the types of cultures to accept. Islam in itself is right wing. Anti gay, anti woman, anti other religions, anti multiculturalism etc…
Everything correct but it is technically far-right as an ideology.
we already have two mainstream centre right political parties, Fianna Fail and Fine Gael. How has that worked out?.
Between bailouts and brexit etc. they have bent over to the EU & ECB and sold out the public at every turn. Then open borders SF/AAA/PBP etc are totally unelectable and cannot be trusted. The mainstream has gone in a direction that screws over the average person ………..that is where parties like afd come out of.
The term far right is used way too much nowadays and means almost nothing.
Islam is a far-right ideology John, technically as opposed to Holland’s Freedom party/Afd in Germany- theyre policies are more in line with being right-wing.
Where’s Tariq?
His name isn’t Tariq. His name is Liam Egan from Wexford. Try Google, you’ll get a good laugh out of it.
Working…but i do miss him…the acid tongued devil….
Was German journalist Richard Gutjahr there to film this as well?, :
“‘I stood on the balcony, right on the Promenade des Anglais, and saw how people celebrated there, and how suddenly a truck drove through the crowd,” he told AFP on Friday.
“Local reporter Richard Gutjahr described the scene at the shopping center as something “out of a bad movie,” with the shopping center completely surrounded by police, a helicopter overhead, and police carrying semi-automatic rifles. Gutjahr was not able to confirm reports of deaths or injuries.”

Richard Gutjahr is married to Mossad agent and Knesset member Einat Wilf. To quote Mossad agent Richard Gutjahr this video is like something “out of a bad movie”
There’s always one trying to turn this into some Israeli conspiracy.
@Jason
Muslims have been living peacefully in Europe for decades.Honest question,why do you think the recent attacks are happening?.
Does the fact that he is married top a Mossad agent and the fact that he was at two separate tragedies- Nice and Munich not arouse any suspicion?
Regards Israeli ‘conspiracies’. Here is just one of many that turned out to be true.
The Lavon Affair.
In which, in July of 1954, there was a series of bombings in Cairo and Alexandria, Egypt. Among the targets were the libraries of the United States Information Service in both cities.
In fact, the bombings were an operation by Israeli Military Intelligence who hoped both Egyptian President Nasser and the outside world would believe the attacks were carried out by militant Egyptian Muslim fundamentalists angry at Nasser’s friendly relations with the U.S. and Britain.
Israel’s ultimate purpose was to destabilize Nasser’s relationships with both the U.S. and Britain and compel the British to withdrawal from their bases on the Suez Canal (although, in fact, in the end, no British targets were bombed, the initial plan notwithstanding).
According to Colonel Benjamin Gibli, Israel’s chief of military intelligence and the senior army officer responsible for sending the final signal to Cairo to initiate the bombings, he had been given his orders by Defense Minister Pinchas Lavon whose instructions were as follows:
“[Our goal is] to break the West’s confidence in the existing [Egyptian] regime . . . The actions should cause arrests, demonstrations, and expressions of revenge.
The Israeli origin should be totally covered while attention should be shifted to any other possible factor.
The purpose is to prevent economic and military aid from the West to Egypt.” The operatives placing the bombs were Egyptian Jews working for Israeli intelligence. However, Egyptian security uncovered the plot and eleven people were taken into custody.
Simple answer is that until now they simply didn’t have the confidence of numbers or useful idiots screaming “racism” in their defence every time they were challenged.
Those sneaky Jews are always up to no good, aren’t they Chlorines?
@padraig because before they emigrated here mostly to take up employment but now they’re here because their home is a hell hole. Granted they wouldn’t be coming if it wasn’t for the $hitstorm they’re fleeing from but there’s a whole rest of world that can dig in. Saudi? Qatar, USA, New Zealand. Europe isn’t solely responsible and we have to put ourselves first. Too many lives been massacred here now. Murders here doesn’t make up for American/British wrongs in Middle East
Oh for crying out loud. If Israel wanted to turn the world against Muslim’s they’d just slip the nuclear material from one of the weapons they say they don’t have into some unsuspecting Muslims suitcase as he got on a plane for New York or London. Muslims are doing perfectly well of turning the world against them on their own. They’ve being doing it long before the state of Israel ever existed. The Ottomans were banging on the gates of Vienna for centuries, they were pissing off the Mongols and the Tartar’s before that.They’ve tried it on with the Russian Empire and the Soviet’s. The Spaniards and French turfed them out in the mid and early middle ages respectively… Islam has historically been about as welcome as bubonic plague.
AI don’t know Lorem, ask Barbara Specter
“I think there is a resurgence of anti-Semitism because at this point in time Europe has not yet learned how to be multicultural. And I think we are going to be part of the throes of that transformation, which must take place. Europe is not going to be the monolithic societies they once were in the last century. Jews are going to be at the centre of that. It’s a huge transformation for Europe to make. They are now going into a multicultural mode and Jews will be resented because of our leading role. But without that leading role and without that transformation, Europe will not survive.”
Yeah…damned yids…
Of course Einat Wilf is a Mossad agent, she has plenty of spare time from the Knesset and a low enough profile to be a spy. Utter rot, you are spending too much time on right wing conspiracy sites who blame Israel for everything no matter how ridiculous and who seem to know all the members of Mossad, which wouldn’t say much for Mossad’s ability as an intelligence agency if it were true. The closest she ever got to spying was during her military service when she worked in unit 8200 signalling intelligence.
Peter, Hopefully when Trump becomes prez and the right people are put behind bars, we should see a rapid de-escalation of these terrorist attacks. :)
@Chlorines….. Jews are not at the center of anything in Europe but at the front of the queue to get out,- to Israel and beyond where it is safe from Jew-hating Mohammedans and their neo-Nazi BDS supporters whose forebears were the Nazis . You and Barbara Specter are full of shuite.
@chlorines72 (weird name) what is Trump going to do honestly???
The only integration method their missing is this… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0sRmpvdIIk
no one should be that upset by the lgbtq.
There is a serious lack of common sense from the lefty brigade. Brainwashed.
I get the impression that all this chaos was planned for and that was the desired effect. Right now the public are fully blindsided by chaos like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70e0sa1QHTM its the only veiw that makes any sense
Crap like this gives those at the top cover to introduce laws that create a surveillance police state, something like the old east germany had.
“Police said they do not suspect any terror links.” Of course not. A Muslim with a machete murdering a non-Muslim pregnant woman — who ever heard of such a thing?
so in other words “violence” + “muslim”(not all Syrians are Muslim btw) = “terrorism”
but white people can’t be terrorists, of course, despite the US, France, UK et. all having a much higher bodycount via the “war on Terror”.
I note the Reutlingen Polizei have not had adaquate diversity training yet….that Kuffar redneck is further brutalising the alleged perpetrator by pinning him with the sole of his shoe…this will simply inflame and further radicalise this vulnerable young refugee and his people..in the Muslim world to display the sole of your shoe is insulting – to use it as a humiliating weapon of oppression is simply unforgivable and will certainly lead to reprisal attacks and yet more Hashtags…..
Peter, seriously who honestly cares if a murdering piece of dirt has a shoe on him or not. These monsters don’t need excuses to be inflamed.
And also ‘vulnerable’? Please give me a break!
Peter.. You gotta use the sarcasm tag “/sarcasm ” at the end sometimes…
If it was sarcastic Peter then sorry I take it back.
Damn Paddy….now the decent folk of the journal are gonna read that and hate me while the regressive left Islam apologists will want to give me head as they make plans to recruit me for my objectivity and cultural diversity awareness…..
Debbie…your rebuke was actually quite gentle…no need to apologise.you see..i dont “troll” but i do enjoy an effective parody…i was parodying the staunch defenders of Wahabbism who despite this savages atrocity will focus on extenuating factors that can exculpate his guilt…brutal copper/provocation/culture/ etc..effectively how this “vulnerable young refugees” German hosts let him down.
Well you had me going :)
You’re right though. There needs to be more hugs and kisses to defend against machete attacks. That’ll stop them!
Debbie….so you agree it was effective?
Yep
“Regressive left” is a buzzword used by neo-nazis/alt-right btw
Seen somewhere else the woman that died was pregnant sick of seeing all these stories sick vile individuals
I am sure another white nationalist right winger, just like in Munich.
Does Ireland still want to welcom those “refugees”?
Appears Germany has experienced its 1st homicide bomber….damned far right…padraig o whatshisname was right all along….
