I wonder. The scandal d'jour was the TD who forgot he had 11 apartments rented out while arguing for more help for landlords in the Dáil. Now the newspapers seem to be moving on to students who can't get accommodation in Dublin. Esp teachers for some reason?
The estate where you can see the view of Gulliver's retail park aptly called Cedarview is a case in point.

Photograph: Alan Betson Stephen Farrell Tue Aug 23 2022 - 21:03 Residents of a north Dublin housing estate have criticised new rules which would see vehicles parked on the roads or footpaths outside their homes clamped from next month. Residents of Cedarview in Northwood, Santry were informed that due to a recent change in policy they could no longer park on the footpath or road outside their homes. The project has been beset with planning difficulties since the then Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) got planning permission in 2007 at the height of the Celtic Tiger. In an August 9th letter, Wyse property management said the policy had been agreed by the Northwood Owners’ Management Company at an extraordinary general meeting in April. Donoghue brings with him the management team that delivered Galway an All-Ireland after 29 years of frustration in 2017, Francis Forde and Noel Larkin as well as local coach Shane O’Brien, from Cuala, who will take charge of the under-20s. The correspondence, seen by The Irish Times, said the policy would mean “any vehicles which are parked on the roads or footpaths in Cedarview will be clamped”. The north runway was first proposed in 2004 in anticipation that it would cater for the continuing boom in air traffic. Vehicles parked fully on the road after 6pm and before 9am would not be clamped, it said, but any vehicles “parked, or part parked on a footpath, kerb or grass will be clamped 24/7”.
The letter states that a parking management company would be “commencing their patrols” to enforce the new policy from September 1st. Originally the planning permission was for flights to run between 7am and 11pm, but that was amended to between 6am and midnight. Larkin also won the Tommy Moore Cup as manager of Portumna in 2014. The letter said on an “exceptional basis” people with a disability parking card visiting a resident could park on the street without being clamped “on a temporary basis”, as could contractors carrying out works on properties in the estate. Wyse, the company managing the housing estate, did not respond to requests for comment on the clamping policy. Some 300 houses affected by the new runway will be eligible for a €20,000 insulation grant to block out the noise. While homes in the estate have two driveway parking spaces, many households are occupied by renters who have three or four vehicles. Donoghue’s term with Galway ended in defeat by Dublin in the final Leinster round-robin match in 2019 whereas the victorious manager that day Mattie Kenny, also from Galway, saw his four years in charge conclude last May when they lost in Salthill and failed to progress. Cathal Keogh, a 33-year-old teacher from Limerick living in the estate, described the policy as “very anti-renter”. Construction began in December 2016 and, like many infrastructure projects, it was held up by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Mr Keogh, who teaches in a school in Sutton, lives with three other teachers, who all rely on their cars to get to work. He said the policy to clamp cars parked on the street came “out of the blue” for people renting in the estate, who he said were not consulted beforehand.1km in length, comprising of 300,000sqm of runway, serviced by 6km of new roads and 2,000 taxi lights for aircraft. In 2021, having beaten Galway in the knockout Leinster semi-final, Dublin lost four players to positive coronavirus tests, including key starters Cian O’Callaghan and Ronan Hayes. Renters sharing homes where more than two people in the house needed to drive had been offered “no alternatives”, Mr Keogh said. “The plan is to hope and pray they roll back on it. It is a good news story for the Daa in a summer which began with awful headlines in May and June about lengthy security queues leading people to miss flights at Dublin Airport. If they don’t, I haven’t a clue what we’re going to do,” he said. The appointment of O’Brien is seen as some sort of attempt at succession planning.
Maryrose Walsh (25), a special needs primary schoolteacher in Swords who lives in the estate, said the policy had led to “a lot of stress and anxiety” in recent days.30am and 12. “In my house there’s four primary schoolteachers, we’ve two spaces in the drive, so two of us will be clamped every day,” she said. “So, we’re looking at do I sell my car? Then there isn’t ample public transport either so that’s not an option,” she said. “It’s a slow gradual build-up. This experience also gives him a good knowledge of the next best players outside of the senior panel, which will be useful when it comes to strengthening Dublin’s resources next season. Ms Walsh said cycling to work was “not sustainable” due to the location and the fact she often had to bring materials needed for teaching into the school. “I’m facing going out every morning to school and there being a clamp on my car,” she said.” The north runway will run parallel to the existing south runway and the two will be linked by the airport’s cross-runway.
“The first thing I’d have to do is to let my principal know that, potentially, I could be late five mornings a week. Playing resources aren’t particularly abundant but the strong feeling amongst the county’s hurling constituency is that the team should be performing better. Then that in turn affects the kids I’m taking who have special needs. They had the foresight to do that in case the runway expanded,” Mr Cullinane said. A few groups might miss out on their slots in my timetable during the day.” Jack Power is a reporter with The Irish Times READ MORE .” Ronan McGreevy is a news reporter with The Irish Times READ MORE.
