The Waterfront – Season 1 Episode 7 'Nice Try' Recap & Review
Nice Try Episode 7 of The Waterfront starts with Cane waking up in bed with Jenna. He hurriedly gets dressed though when he receives the call about Harlan, who's not in a good way. The doctor gives him the all-clear, despite suffering from some nasty stings. Harlan is pissed. He wants to take out Grady completely and kill the guy. Harlan aggravates him when Grady calls, and realizes that they're being watched. Harlan scares off Grady's guy with a gun and demands he stay away from the family. Of course, that's not going to happen, given the tendrils Grady has in this business. Back at the office, Cane and Harlan have even more problems to contend with. They have 43 days to pay off their massive debt. Instead of working with Grady, Cane suggests they turn and work with Emmett Parker instead. This guy has a whole operation going on, way bigger than Grady's, and it's one of the biggest in the South. It turns out Harlan's father used to work with Emmett back in the day too. However, it was Emmett's men who ordered the hit on him, explaining how they're mixed up with the family. Cane though, believes they should work with him all the same, at least to get out of their financial hole. Things turn from bad to worse for Bree, who's blindsided at Diller's place when she finds out she needs to test for drugs. She refuses to do so, obviously because she has been using, but Diller is at least okay, so there is that. Cane and Harlan meet with Emmett and the vibe is completely different to Grady's operation. They want to make a deal, and this time it's Cane who speaks up. He wants to deal for 12 million and Jeb, Emmett's father, is here to oversee this. Jeb doesn't trust them, given the desperation and 'fast money' they want. He also makes sure they're not double-dipping and wants them to cut ties with Grady completely. Harlan suggests that Emmett take out Grady but he and Jeb laugh incredulously and wonder what's led to this. Eventually they agree and Jeb agrees to take care of Grady. Jeb is old school though and Harlan explains to his son after that when Jeb was crossed by Harlan's father, Beau, he paid the price. Harlan goes on to mention how that drug running the way they are is like a drug itself, something that's very hard to shake. That night, Belle speaks to Harlan and explains that she made a decision for the family. She believes she's earned the Buckley name and explains that she also slept with Wes too. She didn't do it to hurt Harlan, and did so mostly to help herself here, to feel something while everything around her is falling apart. Meanwhile, Rodney shows up at Bree's looking for Diller. Apparently he's run away after they had an argument and he thought the kid left for Bree's. Bree is shocked when she finds out Rodney wants to relocate (well, it's mostly Georgina's decision to be fair) explaining why there's friction here. Bree does find Diller quite quickly though and explains that he should probably head home. She knows there's not much they can do but does stick up for Rodney's parental responsibility. She doesn't expect Diller to forgive her but reassures him that he's the only reason she's trying to get better. At work, Cane starts spiralling when he finds Emmett's men tied up with a sign reading 'nice try' in his office. It seems Grady has figured out what's happening and got wise to the assassination attempt. He calls Belle over to help out, who's shocked when she finds what they're dealing with. At the fish house, things are made worse when a gas leak forces everybody out the building. However, Bree is unaware of this, given she was out back, and soon finds Belle inside trying to cover up the dead bodies. Unfortunately, this whole plan comes back to bite Harlan while he's about to head out for a fishing trip with Shawn. The pair are held at gunpoint on the road and kidnapped, taken over to Grady's farm. Grady confronts Harlan about his deal with Emmett here and threatens Shawn at gunpoint. Just before he fires, he reveals that he's Harlan's son. This is enough for Harlan to bend and agree to work with Grady, determined to protect his son. While this is going on, Cane heads over to Grady's farm to save his father with Tim and Reggie. He heads inside the barn and finds Grady's entire drug operation, and a skirmish soon breaks out between him and Grdy's goons. They eventually decide to blow the barn sky-high, which in turn also destroys Grady's entire drug operation. A big fight breaks out after, but Tim is shot dead and Grady chases after them with a machine gun. They literally run in a straight line across an empty field, causing Reggie to be shot in the leg and the others avoiding gunfire. Plot armour, everyone! While the guys get away, and Grady lives to fight another day, Belle and Bree work together to clear up the mess in the office. Bree though is struggling and has been ever since she was 7. She eventually concedes and admits that she killed Marcus by buying him drugs to protect the family. When Belle realizes the true story, she's shocked at jumping to conclusions initially. Bree though, believes she deserves to be punished. Unfortunately, that punishment comes in the form of Grady's men, who show up that night and kidnap her. The Episode Review So the misunderstanding between Belle and Bree is finally resolved and their conversation together is actually a nice inclusion, especially as they address the issue that's plagued their entire relationship all these years. Meanwhile, Grady has somehow managed to outsmart Harlan and Cane. Although this would ordinarily be seen as a good move, I can't help but feel it undermines the menacing nature of Emmett and Jeb who seemed to have been a step up from Grady's operation but I guess not. The escape from the farm is a bit contrived as well, especially as we see Cane and the others literally run in a straight line away from machine gunfire, without even using the haybales or evasive manoeuvres. I know Reggie got shot but it would have been nice to see a bit more urgency from this scene. All of this aside though, the ending with Bree's kidnapping leaves everything wide open for the rest of the season, which hopefully will end things on a high.

The Waterfront – Season 1 Episode 6 'Hunting Season' Recap & Review
Hunting Season Episode 6 of The Waterfront starts with horrific flashes to the past for Bree. She soon awakens, with Cane next to her. She's now sober but clearing heroin out of her system isn't exactly smooth sailing. However, Bree has serious guilt over how this has gone down with Marcus. Cane reminds her that Marcus is a former addict and the allure of doing heroin was just too much for him to turn away from. It's not her fault he's dead. Cane believes they need to cover their tracks, which involves destroying all the evidence that Marcus has gained. It's here where Bree points out a horrifying moment from the past about her grandfather's death that's shaped her whole life. The man didn't die peacefully in his sleep after all. He was tortured while Bree was hiding inside the closet, watching the whole thing play out in horror. This entire incident explains why she has substance abuse issues and what led her down this path. Belle made her promise not to say anything and she didn't. With the pair busy, Harlan finds Grady waiting in his office. He's brought over some payroll (and a little extra to sweeten the deal) and wants to celebrate their little win with the DEA. However, Grady also has an emergency shipment he wants to fly out asap. Harlan is having none of it and doesn't want to mess with their business. Grady is not letting this one go and reminds him who's in charge here. With Harlan refusing to play ball, and needing to prove his point, Grady shows to see Diller and they hang together. He facetimes with Harlan and shows they're off hunting together, which obviously is his way of keeping Harlan in check. While Harlan races off to get Diller back, he eventually concedes and agrees to go hunting with the pair. Elsewhere, Belle signs for some documents from the bank, which only confirms they're in even more trouble than she initially thought. It seems Wes is trying to strongarm them and Belle meets with him to discuss it further. However, the ship has sailed and they have limited time to pay up. Back hunting, things take a horrible turn when Grady, in his desire to try and hunt some birds, ends up shooting Diller. Whether an accident or a warning, news of Diller's shooting reaches the whole family. Cane rings Jenna that night, just to talk, despite initially saying they weren't going to. Their conversation stirs up old feelings, which is only compounded further by his earlier chat with Bree, and he heads over to see her. No more 'mr good guy'; the pair wind up having sex. At the same time, Belle shows up to see Harlan, showing off the documents from the bank that mean bad news for their business. Even worse, Belle immediately susses that Bree has been using and it just makes Cane feel worse that he's caught in the middle of this. He apologizes for how everything has gone down, and the pair share a sweet moment together. When Grady shows up at the hospital, everything kicks off again. Grady speaks to Belle about the shooting, claiming that he didn't intentionally shoot him but subconsciously? Well, he's not 100% sure. Belle smacks the guy in the face, and as his goons grab her, Shawn – of all people – shows up and saves her before security arrive. Shawn speaks to Belle privately after, wanting to know what she's mixed up in. Naturally, she doesn't tell him but that's not going to stop his questions. Meanwhile, Harlan looks over the documents in his office that night. Unfortunately, after the altercation with Grady at the hospital, he shows up with his men and strong-arms Harlan into submission. To prove his point, he grabs a couple of buckets full of Portuguese man o' war, and place them on his bare chest. Harlan's screams ring out across the warehouse. The Episode Review Grady shows his true colours here, as the nice guy facade wears off and he shows just how vicious he can be. The torture with the jellyfish is pretty sadistic, and it's clear that the hunting trip shooting 'accident' was Grady's way of sending a message to Harlan. Cane and Bree patching up their differences though is a nice touch and one of the highlights of the episode for sure, while Cane predictably succumbs to temptation and sleeps with Jenna. Whether this is going to blow up when Peyton returns though is anyone's guess, but it's clear that this situation is far from over. With a couple of episodes left, will Harlan and Cane manage to save the business before it's too late? Previous Episode Next Episode Expect A Full Season Write-Up When This Season Concludes!

Sligo council ‘not adequately funded' to buy second hand homes
He also stated that the €3 million allocated to County Sligo was already committed for the purchase, fees and costs of refurbishment works committed to under the programme in 2024. 'In fact, the €3 million allocation is not adequate to cover the cost of the commitments we entered into last year. "Sligo's current commitment is €3,111,135. So not only have we no funding to address social housing needs as part of the Second Hand Social Housing acquisitions programme for 2025, that fact is that the €3 million we have been allocated is insufficient to allow us complete commitments which the Department of Housing actually approved in 2024. "This Council has also been told by the Department that, other that the €3 million allocated to us, no further funding will be made available to Sligo this year. 'I have to say that I find this shocking and unacceptable, particularly given the fact that we are in the midst of a housing crisis,' Cllr Bree told the monthly meeting of the council. He outlined how In March the Government and Minister for Housing announced €325 million in funding to address social housing needs as part of the Second Hand Social Housing acquisitions programme for 2025. 'The Minister said the 2025 second-hand acquisitions programme would facilitate the purchase of second-hand homes for Tenant-in-Situ Acquisitions. Families with children, older people or those with disabilities were to be prioritised under the tenant-in-situ scheme, however no household was excluded we were told. 'The Minister said local authorities could target the funding and he said the government was committed to the second-hand acquisitions programme and tenant-in-situ acquisition stream given its important role in the prevention of homelessness. "Government TDs in this constituency said they were delighted to see the tenant in situ scheme so well-funded for 2025. They said it would provide opportunities for long term renters to stay in their home with the local authority as their landlord for the long term. "Everyone in this chamber is aware that the crisis is causing huge distress, anxiety and despair to people here in Sligo and in communities across the country. The tenant-in-situ programme helped to alleviate the stress for a number of households in recent years. ADVERTISEMENT "However, Sligo County Council can no longer implement the scheme as the Government is not providing the necessary funding. "I am therefore appealing to the government supporters in this Council and more so to the three Government TDs in this constituency to make the necessary representations to the government and Minister for Housing so as to ensure that adequate funding is provided this year to allow this Council to fulfil its obligations under the Second Hand Social Housing acquisitions programme for 2025. A motion from Cllr Bree calling on the Minister and the Government to increase the funding allocation to Sligo County Council as a matter of urgency so as to allow it to acquire second hand houses for priority cases including people with a disability and older persons requiring urgent housing responses was unanimously adopted.

No support staff for key CAMHS post in Sligo seen as reason why it hasn't been filled yet
'At this stage I am of the view that the HSE in Sligo-Leitrim have never been serious about providing such a service,' Cllr Declan Bree told a meeting of the Regional Health Forum West. 'At meetings of this Forum over the past year and a half I have been highlighting the urgent need for the HSE to provide a CAMHS-ID Service in Sligo. 'While the service is provided by the HSE in other parts of the country there has been absolutely no service for children and adolescents in Sligo or Leitrim because, we were told there was no Consultant Psychiatrist to assist in providing the service. 'At every meeting of the Forum I outlined the heartache and trauma parents and families have had to go through as a result of the failure of the HSE to provide a CAMHS-ID service in Sligo. 'I was extremely pleased when we were informed last November that an Agency Consultant Psychiatrist for the CAMHS-ID Service had been appointed and had commenced work on the 19th of November. 'While welcoming that appointment I did ask if an adequate multidisciplinary support team had been put in place to ensure that the new service could properly respond to those who were referred to the service for specialist input. 'However, it was only at our meeting in February when it came to light that the Consultant Psychiatrist had resigned his post that we also learned that there was no multidisciplinary support team in place. 'CAMHS-ID teams consist of multidisciplinary team members such a Consultant Psychiatrist, Senior Psychologist, clinical nurse specialists, social workers and administrators. They offer: Assessment, formulation, diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders. 'However, on the basis of the reply I have received today we now know that none of these posts have ever been approved. We are also told that another Consultant Psychiatrist who applied for the position in the Camhs-ID Team in January this year withdrew his name in April. And of course what else would you expect, it there is no support team in place? 'Can you imagine hospital management appointing consultants, without having a support team of nurses, registrars, junior doctors in place. 'Yet the management of the HSE in Sligo-Leitrim have gone through the motions of advertising for a Consultant Psychiatrist for a CAMHS-ID Service without a multidisciplinary support team being in place. 'Surely, all the vacant posts in the team, including the post of Consultant Psychiatrist should have been approved and advertised when we were told that the service would be established in Sligo and Leitrim. 'The continuing failure of the HSE to provide a CAMHS-ID Service and to provide basic services for children with intellectual disability in Sligo and Leitrim is unacceptable and can only be described as a terrible indictment on the Management of the HSE,' said Cllr Bree. In response. Cllr Bree was informed the Integrated Health Area Manager for Sligo, Leitrim, South Donegal and West Cavan, J. Fitzmaurice that the national model for care for CAMHS-ID outlines the roles of MDT members trained in supporting children with intellectual disabilities and mental disorders. The team includes a consultant psychiatrist, health and social are professionals, medical and nursing staff ad administrative support. "While not all teams will start with full membership, the national CAMHS-ID programme aims to establish baseline teams in all areas including a consultant psychiatrist, senior psychologist, clinical nurse specialist and administrative support. "In relation to the Consultant position the PAS advertisement closed on January 31st 2025 with one application received. The post progressed to shortlisting which took place in April 2025. The candidate withdrew from the post at the end of April. We are in the process of getting the post re-advertised,' he said.
