@emmetatquiddity Took it for a test drive this afternoon. Glad it's back open, though we happily managed to cycle and walk on it before the works

Risk of severe weather in parts of Europe tomorrow with damaging hail and thunderstorms. Especially in parts of Germany that could impact #EURo2024

@emmetatquiddity So you're the second faster runner in Phibsborough? Should be a good race

Any Broadstone/Phibsborough/D7 folk looking for local interest in the European Championships can cheer on Efrem Gidey in the 10,000m tonight.
8.44pm - 25 laps of the track (he finished sixth in 2022 so should be right in the mix).

@emmetatquiddity I'll be back in D7 this summer so would love to get involved

Very timely revival of our play street experiences from last year. Myself and Seán met this morning to discuss our plans for many more play streets in Dublin 7 in 2024!

Why we turned a Dublin street into a playground. @emmetatquiddity @WeAreTUDublin & @seanchair @DCU @BCFE_Official on how the #d7playstreets initiative shows what a simple reallocation of public space putting kids first could look like rte.ie/brainstorm/202…

@emmetatquiddity I've cycled as far as Blanch on the canal but never went to the sports campus. Would like to cycle my kids there soon if doable

Beautiful morning for some unplanned #activetravel from Phibsborough to Sport Campus Ireland to do my first (and definitely slowest) Parkrun in a few years. Such a great cycle route: calm, quiet, scenic AND there's the incredible feat of engineering that is the M50 Aquaduct.
English
@Feljin_J I cycle down there twice a day with my son. Traffic is always insane
English
@Feljin_J This happens all the time in Dublin. Here is another example from today outside of Belgrave Park in Rathmines.

Decades of zero enforcement has led to this kind of brazen illegal parking. Dublin city's current parking enforcement contract expires next year, we need a new strategy focused on eliminating this altogether.

@emmetatquiddity Is this still on Emmet? I might try and make it down

@emmetatquiddity @GrangegormanDev My boys want a skatepark please

An unexpected bonus about this morning's seminar was meeting folks from @GrangegormanDev and getting to interrogate Lori for 30 minutes about future plans for the campus!

@emmetatquiddity Sounds like my typical weekend. I'm in the right spot so
English
If you ever bungled an arson and needed extinguishing, medical attention AND locking up (while also learning how to represent yourself in court), there is simply no better place than Phibsborough.
English
I hear a lot of talk about the 15-minute city, but Phibsborough has a garda station, a fire station, a prison, a few hospitals, schools, a university, institution for legal training and a football stadium all within a radius of a few hundred metres.

@dublinbusnews I'm on a 15 that is going the wrong way. The driver appears to be lost and hasn't given any updates to the passangers

@irishathletics That MSB runner won the Cahersiveen 5km in 14:59 today. Did no one tell him it was a fun run!? Fair play to him🏃♂️🏃♀️

one thing I love about the World Cup: it brings people from wildly different places — people who may never otherwise have a reason to share a moment — together in common humanity
another thing I love about the World Cup: Ghana and Uruguay hate each other

@emmetatquiddity @Dublinese @RotharPhibsboro I'm currently living next to Bushy Park and that market seems to be very busy every Saturday. Great atmosphere there
English
@Dublinese @michaelrickard2 @RotharPhibsboro Here’s the other DCC Park Markets for comparison - 3 at the weekend and one at lunchtime in a city park surrounded by office workers.
Maybe they’ll give it another go at the weekend sometime…
English
Gutted to hear that the food market is finishing (from today?).
There was talk of a year’s trial when it started but, even after a few weeks, it was looking like it wasn’t going to make it...
Emmet Ó Briain@emmetatquiddity
Phibsborough food market 👌

In truth, no-one reviewing things – from a car to a dishwasher to a restaurant to a play – can fully deny that they’re contributing to an endless consumerist cycle, writes @adrianweckler buff.ly/3g97QIo
