Parasites wasting our taxes-again

The country is near bankrupt and after throwing billions at a failed, crooked entity like the Anglo Irish Bank, they go and do this. :mad:

They should be building bridges, not feckin' tunnels.

They should, but knowing anything about stuff built with taxpayers money, it would probably take 25 years longer than scheduled & then bankrupt the country completely.

They have hung the bollix out of the ordinary taxpayer already.

Why isnt there some one with a fúcking clue in power. Like accountants managing the money, doctors running as health ministers and Judges running as justice ministers. Politics is a seperate career path and they're allowed to fúck with the running of the country directly, morons!!!!

ballsymchugh

i love the comment at the end, it's time for the celtic jackass indeed.

dj, not too sure about judges running the justice system yet, maybe a senior garda who can't complain about the short/suspended sentences that the judges give out against garda advice. if judge john neilan had his way we'd be in for some craic!

What a waste of money.

Can people in this bloody country get with the ****ing metric system. I have no idea about yards, miles or stones.

Its a self-inflicted irish thing...we can estimate if there's pride at stake..and estimate very accurately if there's money at stake!

100 yards = the length of 1 American Football field.

Hope that helps. Probably not. Heehee

Isn't it obvious why they are doing it?
They don't want to show their faces in public whenever possible (such is the shame of some!) - and when it's not convenient to their benefit only!
...that and if they fall out of one of the two bars and restaurants at the Leinster House, they can sneak away more quietly away from cameras and public gaze of hatred!

galwayrush

Build the tunnel, and load it with explosives.:pac:

thetonynator

They're already in a hole, they should stop digging.


Literally!!!

I've never heard of any government to have a need to build a tunnel to save a 100 yard walk. Ever. It's stories like this which make people look at Ireland and laugh. It's the same thick retards which screw us all over. I don't get angry any more. I just get depressed.

No chance. That'd be like turkeys voting for an election.

It was in another paper a few weeks ago.

The construction costs will be made up in less than 2 years on the rent saving of not needing somewhere because of it so makes sense

too lazy to look for the details

And it takes Americans 4 hours to get up and down a football pitch.

not really, you need to convert that to proper Irish measurements.

What is it in GAA pitches?

Kasabian

Maybe we could herd them all in to this tunnel and seal it up.

Seems to be the only way of getting rid of the sh1te that runs this country. What with them failing to bow to the will of the people and let us decide who we want running up and down the tunnel busily getting on with the daily grind of running this fine country.

Ah now can't be letting the plebs vote - they'd be sure to make the wrong decision - can't let that happen! FF will only let go of the national tit when there isn't a single drop of milk to be had and their friends are looked after.

Sensationalist rubbish from the Tribune.

Creating this link will involve minor structural adjustments to existing rooms and corridors at basement level in the two buildings and will not involve any major construction work.

A GAA pitch (Croker being the benchmark) is 130m - 145m.

There is 91.44m in 100yds.

So run from one end of the pitch to the 40m line (mean = 137.5), and that's how long the tunnel will be, more or less.

Sure, maybe that wouldn't be a bad thing, maybe we could get a rich country to adopt us.

I'd like to be adopted by France. I don't like the people much, but the weather's nice there.

They should have their own tunnel, but only if it follows the same design as one of those Indiana Jones type tunnels, booby-trapped from one to the the other, complete with random huge stone ball. A handy number of bye-elections would be created if some of the lard-arse didn't quite make it.

Run_to_da_hills

This may be as far as the proposed Dublin metro will ever get.

it would want to be like the Port Tunnel for Harney and her fat ar$e

whosedaddy?

looking at the size of some TDs , no surprise.

They should lengthen the walk to lose some weight.

aidan_walsh

Someone send them a West Wing boxset so they can see its possible to walk and work at the same time.

Ya kidding!
Some can barely walk and talk at the same time without getting out of breath!

Well go educate yourself. I personally rather the old Imperial system of weights and measures

Even I can't agree with you there.

Why??

According to that article it's not just the government who wish to have the tunnel built with FG/Lab involved :rolleyes:

All as bad as each other.

Indeed, there are many faces all around in the Dail that would shy away from the spotlight for the self-interest deeds they commit.

I say we should let them have the tunnel, in fact we should build it for them ourselves for free.

Then we should fill the chamber with Lions

Then we should kit ouselves out with tridents, nets, helmets and shields

Then we should elect someone to be Maximus Decimus Meridius

Then we should let them in ...

They actually control the group who decide if it goes ahead or not.


From what I understand this isn't that big a deal, and could save money in the long run.

Is it a tunnel or a bunker they want to build?

Lemegeton

if this goes through there is going to ****ing war. you think the protests going on at the moment are bad.

A tunnel to walk just under half a furlong, bastards.

Probably not absolutly , adding anything American into this mix is not going to help. As for a pint, it's more of a saying that anything else.

not being pedantic or anything, i'm actually curious...how does the construction of an underground tunnel to save ministers a 100 yard walk outside save money?

Why should I have to educate myself, for a system that should be legally used and it was brought in the 1970 FFS. And this was the system I got educate in school threw, so the Imperial system has no meaning to me what so ever.

I personally rather, the Metric system.

I will pledge to use the metric system if you pledge to type in english.

a chauffeur that is on the state payroll anyway and who's job wouldn't be made redundant by ministers walking an extra 180 meters there and back, you mean?

EDIT: also, the metric system rocks!
