    Not at all sure where to put this. It is about computers but has enough in it to upset the rest of the country as well. I personally think it's daft, probably aimed at her audience and a non-runner. I think she oversimplifies matters and puts it all down to the machine.

    Ah yes, Dublin, the centre of the universe :rolleyes:

    This reminds me of all the moaning and complaining about having to pay bin charges, despite the rest of the country having to do it for years.

    How does someone who can display such a level of stupidity get to be the CEO of the chamber of commerce? What would be to stop people from outside Dublin, going there to buy their computers (if they don't already), and then taking them out of the city?

    Much like the idiot that last year suggested Ireland should seriously consider switching to right-side driving, this is just a way of getting your name in the news and nothing more.

    That woman is a bit of a tool isn't she? However, she mentions Dublin being a knowledge city, wasn't there something done a few years ago in somewhere like Ennis to get as many people using computers? Am i remembering correctly?

    The Telecom Eireann Information Age Town I believe. About 1000 people were given (or bought cheap) computers, they were crap AST ones. It was just a PR thing for the government anyway, much like this one and her ramblings.
