All was not lost though. Given that he’s got friends in these low places, we then got in touch with Councillor
Greystones Harbour North Pier WEDS1DEC21
s so very often happens in this town, the new gates at Greystones Harbour’s north pier arrived without fanfare or warning.

Which we have to assume is the small gang of young Olympic high dive hopefuls who like to regularly cause a splash or three down at the harbour. Then again, maybe fishing down at the marina now qualifies as anti-social behaviour?

Its wrong to describe people as “useless fecks” – clearly communications were very poor (but belatedly rectified) and deserve criticism but thats a long way from saying everybody involved were “useless” and then describing them as “fecks” – we are getting more polarised by this type of language.
We tried to clear ‘incompetent assholes’ with our lawyers, but they thought useless fecks was the gentler option. The council knew this was happening. The council told no one, not even Greystones Municipal District, that it was happening. And there really isn’t all that much point in letting everyone know what’s going on after the gate has been bolted. If Wicklow County Council had put out this press release before the gates were installed, it would have saved us all the inevitable social media barking, the local councillors having to bring it up at their monthly meeting, ourselves and others emailing and phoning various parties trying to unearth what was behind the move. So, we reckon useless fecks is appropriate, being at a Father Ted level of insult. We could go Full Frankie Boyle is you prefer.
