    A simple solution to keep our streets clean ♻️ Instead of bottles and cans ending up in the wrong place, you now can leave them on these new bin surrounds, making it easy anyone to pick them up, recycle, and get the deposit back. I’ve seen these bin surrounds working well

    As we all know, Dunnes Stores on George's Street Upper in Dún Laoghaire has been sitting vacant for the guts of 20 years. Well, finally some good news! Dunnes have been hit with the new land hoarding tax so will be forced to put these buildings to good use. Fianna Fáil wanted
