Most popular scam at the moment

I have come across at least eight cases in Ireland in the past two weeks where people receive texts from supposed courier firms telling the person they owe a small delivery charge, tax charge ect. A lot of mainly elderly people click on the link attached and their bank accounts are cleaned out.

Please warn elderly or vulnerable people to never click on these links and ignore these texts. Unfortunately national media seems to be ignoring the massive surge in fraud.

The danger of digital id

One of the biggest dangers to any proposed digital id for Irish people would be posed by hackers. Fraudsters operating in Ireland include people with masters degrees, who are part of international criminal enterprises. They are now using AI to defraud Irish citizens and businesses. Over the years we have seen major hacks on the HSE, the office of the Ombudsman and the voters registration portal. How safe do you think your information would be?

AIB report 59/ increase in fraud

AIB has reported a 59/ increase in payment fraud in Ireland during July. We have been saying this for a long time. Fraud in Ireland is out of control. Professional international fraud gangs are heavily targeting Irish people and businesses. The Gardai do not have the training or resources to catch them. Most Irish business's don't even report fraud attempts as they dont see the point.

Scam Alert!

Another scam we have come across recently is when people are expecting a legitimate parcel to be delivered by a courier they are getting a fake text which purports to come from the delivery company. It asks for a small extra charge. If they click on the link and pay, the scammers now have their payment details and they clean their accounts. Never click on links like this. Ring the delivery company and speak to them. Fraud is now totally out of control in Ireland.

What kind of country tolerates this?

The Irish Children's Hospital debacle would have brought down governments in other countries but in Ireland not one politician or civil servant has been sacked or has had the decency to resign.
The cost to the Irish taxpayer so far is €2.24billion and climbing.

There are more than 200,000 defects at the site.

The completion date for the hospital is now 'unknown'. At best it might be late 2027

its completion date has been put back on 20 occasions.

The children of Ireland deserve better as does the Irish taxpayer

Who negotiated the contracts? Who signed off the contracts? Who is ultimately responsible ?

Garda lack resources

After the disgraceful scenes in Skerries last night local public representatives are calling for more Garda resources to be deployed in the area. Where are these resources to come from? I know that Gardai in the area can't even get their days off because of the amount of Gardai being deployed at Dublin Airport with the EU presidency.

Dublin has a serious law and order problem but nothing is being done about it. There are not enough Gardai. Gardai are not being resourced or trained properly but worst of all rhe court and jail systems are a basket case.

Building problems for the future

After knocking down the Ballymun flats you would think Irish planners would have learned but they are continuing to build multi story blocks in areas of Dublin with

1. Poor public transport
2. Poor local infrastructure.
2. Not enough parking spaces for residents cars.
3. Not enough doctors or dentists in the area.
4. Poor local sports facilities for kids.
5. Not enough Gardai in the area.
6. Virtually no local childcare facilities

When you add to this the poor quality of a lot of the new builds you can see the issues we will face in 20 years. At that stage all the politicians and planners will be retired and it will be someone else's problem.

Limerick
I spent a couple of days in Limerick last week and had a brilliant time. Its a fantastic city to go out in. The one obivious thing was the visibility of the Gardai. The Gardai were on the streets and their interaction with the public was so positive. You would never see this in Dublin. Limerick feels a much safer place to go out in. Credit to the Gardai in Limerick!!

Uisce Eireann Consider Nighttime Water Restrictions?

It is reported that Uisce Eireann are considering nighttime water restrictions in the Dublin area due to record amounts of water being used. I wonder is any of this due to the massive water use by data centers in the Dublin area? Why are we considering letting more open?
