Bad driving and rubbish fiends

I think this might be one of the new cameras, though I may well be wrong
Much is being made of this morning's launch of an "automated red light" traffic camera - apparently the first of its kind in this part of Ireland - at the junction of Benburb Street and Blackhall Place in Stoneybatter.

Soulful Bistro, Manor Street

The sign announcing Stoneybatter

Where exactly does the Stoneybatter district of Dublin begin and end?

About a month ago a bilingual sign appeared overnight near the top of Blackhall Place announcing "Fáilte go Bóthar na gCloch" / "Welcome to Stoneybatter". But surely that dangerous piece of street furniture isn't the actual, official start of Stoneybatter, is it?

If there's no consensus today about Stoneybatter's precise borders, at least most locals would be in broad agreement about its epicentre: on Manor Street. Or possibly, and more specifically, at the cobbled triangle near the top of Manor Street where it meets Aughrim Street on the left and eventually dissolves into Prussia Street on the right.
