Good train service (reliability, regularity, and price) to the city center.

Reliable and pleasant water supply from Bog of The Ring, nothing wrong with a bit of hardness

would never disagree with that sentiment - in many areas of life! :P

(although when you think about it, drinking water from the 'bog o' the ring' doesn't sound very appealling! lol the mental images it conjures up are wrong! )
