No Grey Bin collection on Bank Holiday Monday

BALLYMOUNT CIVIC AMENITY
CENTRE OPEN ALL DAY

South Dublin County Council is very sorry that some householders have not had a black bin
collection service in recent weeks. We hope that everyone’s bin will be collected, as normal, this week. Thanks to the fortnightly green bin collection, householders are really reducing the amount of waste going to landfill. A lot of households only put out the grey bin once every three weeks. There will be no grey bin collection on the May Bank Holiday Monday or on future Bank Holidays. Householders are asked to put their bin out on the week before or the week after bank holidays from now on.

Dell no longer top selling brand in Irish PC market

DELL HAS lost its long-held number one spot in the Irish personal computer (PC) market following its decision to cease manufacturing in Limerick with the loss of 1,900 jobs over the next year.
Provisional first-quarter data from market research firm IDC shows that HP is now the biggest- selling brand in Ireland with Dell in the number two position.
Dell’s years as the number one exporter from Ireland boosted its local sales and it was the number one brand here at a time when it could not replicate that feat in other European countries.
The data show that PC sales in the Irish market collapsed in the first three months of this year, with just 124,835 units being shipped,
a drop of 37.9 per cent compared to a year ago. Read More
