    All well and good, but would they not just put the f*ing thing in the river and be done with it. Then they can invite us all to the opening!!

    hopefully the toll will be small enough so that people that need to get across town every day can use it!

    Because Cork has a tunnel, and be damned if Cork are getting one over on us. The other reason is just a smokescreen.

    Some cool pictures of the progress on that site too. Anyone know if the target of 2010 is still on? I just noticed that the Waterford bypass have had the date pushed out from 2009 to 2010, adding a year to it.

    It's being built by Mulcairs. They are well known for getting jobs done ahead of schedule, so it would be fair enough to at least expect this to be on track.
