    What councilor is at this nonsense now? Do we know if anyone is setting them straight?

    It was bad enough when a previous local councilor was elected to D reann some years back and proclaimed in the Dail that she has seen a Ryanair jet land at Weston! Cue front page stories about that rubbish. She didn't quite understand it wouldn't have stopped until it reached the old ESB shop.

    Brendan Young I believe, and nobody is correcting him. These meetings are a mutual reinforcement society. There is a much more Americanised crude term I could use, except I'd need to moderate it if anyone else did...

    Murphy's insanity about it reached phenomenal levels. The fact is nobody bought a house without knowing Weston was there - there may be a tiny few who inherited one.

    Ok, I'll send him a wee email. I really wonder what he thinks would be better on the last green belt between Dublin and Kildare instead of a few small lawnmowers flying overhead occasionally on a sunny day. I wonder if the recent high level of traffic on the Bray air show weekend reignited old anti-airport rhetoric. Maybe they're annoyed that an EI plane landed there that weekend :-)

    The airport is up for re zoning or re development or something. There's a consultation process at the moment. I posted a few pages back asking about it

    Its not just him involved in the current insanity. The Social Democrats (Murphy as before, with her very poor concept of transport - she claimed we could run a maglev to Maynooth rather than replace bridges to put overhead wires in....) and Sinn Fein are both subscribing fully to the same nonsense. Populism over practicalities.

    More stuff in liffey champion today about the public meetings.

    The main body of the article is ok however there is a sidebar of a chap who is going on about radiation from the comms .... real hide under table with silver foil hat stuff .

    The part where the journalist says they want to install "pappys" is quite funny
    ... you would think in this age of Google they would get it right.
