Say what [...]]]>

Yes you read the title correct…. It seems ROGANSTOWN Hotel & Country Club will be hosting a comedy evening. I nearly fell off my stool when I read it….

Featuring Andrew STANLEY,  Damian CLARK, Eleanor TIERNAN & Sharon MANNION with Champagne reception  & complimentary entry to The Wright Venue.

• when: Saturday 16th April
• time: 9pm to 11.30
• cost: €14

Say what you like, but The Swords Comedy Club lads do a really great gig and I’ve seen Stanley and Damian Clark live too many times in too many venues.

Throw in the fact that it’s only €14 a ticket, it’s right on you doorstep and its a 2 and a half hour set. That is pretty damn good value.

I don’t know if you can pay at the door – I do know however that you can book online www.eventelephant.com/roganstowncomedy

The lads of the comedy club have promised to keep me updated so as soon as the information comes in… you will of course find it here.

Like many a self builder I had to pay for the privilege to build a house on my on land.  Fingal County Council call it the Development levy.  Basically, for ever square meter of development you have to pay €130.00.  Fingal County Council say its your contribution to maintain road frontage amongst other things.  That is all well and good, if they get out there and fix/maintain stuff.

To this day I have not seen a Fingal County Council worker doing anything of the sorts in the village.  Granted, I’ve not gone out of my way to look for them and in fairness I have seen one or two water division vans along the way.

I suspect Fingal County Council would rather out source and contract projects.  At this minute work is taking place but I wonder has anyone asked Fingal County Council if they are inspecting same.  It wasn’t so long ago the (for example) main street of Ballyboughal village was resurfaced.  It was a two part project that stretched as far as Roganstown.

It was a perfect drive, not a single pot hole so to speak.  It didn’t last very long as contractors are back out there ripping up the road to lay new pipes. Whats got my goat up is the state they leave it in?

I could bang on about how we all pay road tax and how we are getting ripped off having to put up with sub standard roads however I wont, instead I’ll get a few snaps of the conditions the road surface is being left in and wait and see how it turns out after the pipe makes its way to the new housing estate being developed.

I’ll also drop into Fingal County Council and make some inquiries, to see what they have to say about it.

Its the country living on city limits, the open space, farms, and tractors that meet you around ever bend. There is a certain calmness when you walk through the village, it nice.

I don’t know what it is, it feel like when you cross the bridge a Roganstown you escape. Maybe thats it! getting away from the madness.

So this blog wont just be all about me, I’ll also use it to promote services in the area which you only find out about from word of mouth (which is always a good thing).
