    Interesting that this kind of product can be made in Ireland and compete with China.

    The largest cranes ever moved I believe went from China to the UK a few years back.

    Pretty amazing, you would think it would be top heavy and capsize in bad weather.

    I see it's due to depart tomorrow at 13.15...

    Great also to see this kind of heavy engineering taking place in Ireland and the ships needed to transport it.

    Are they not moving across to the DWB in ringaskiddy to take on more ballast and work on extra securing of the cranes? I'd like to catch her leave from out at roches point if the departure times suit as I'd be coming from Waterford.

    Moved over to Ringaskiddy this morning according to the radio. Likely to set off properly over the weekend.
    I'm hoping it is over the weekend and I can get down to watch.

    With surnames like these these, there must be an Irish connection.

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    there are, I caught a glance driving into Cobh last week. I don't know if they're the same size as the original three. it's great to see signs of life in the dockyard.
