Can you really compare a Toronto development with something proposed for a small Irish city about 1/60 th the population...?

The principle is the same, so yes I would

Nothing wrong with a bit of ambition! The sites lying empty/derelict at the moment so why not try do something that will bring in jobs and potential investment?

The problem with Waterford City is too much ambition.

We should just accept our faith move to Dublin become bitter and give out about our past life of woo in Waterford.

I’m not from Waterford but I’d say it’s the opposite— it’s a great county with so much to offer but the locals tend to not see that fully

Fate not faith, Waterford City is like a urinal close to the floor with everyone pissing too high.

Please just put him on mute. I've done it but I can still see his posts when people reply.

It's painful, he blames Waterford for his failed marriage but I think everyone here knows why it failed. Just please mute him, for the sake of all our sanity.

I know I know. I kinda like replying to him because someday he might look at his profile of all his posts and realise Jesus I am bitter and I do give out about anything that other people are positive about. He might also realise he can get over his hatred of the county by moving on and by posting in forum relating to his new bright wonderful life .

Well he can go on with that lonely journey all by himself. I've been on this forum a long time and he has never said one remotely constructive thing.

Its time to move on. Mute him.

You can't mute the truth.

True, (if what you are saying was the truth, it’s not thou), but what I can do is give you a holiday out of the Waterford forum, you’ve nothing decent to add to the discussion so take a month out.

I clicked to see who your friends were, surprise there are none.
Get a grip lad that type of negativity will only damage you in the end.

This sub forum has basically turned into a protracted conflict between e users and a troll. Best thing to do is to not engage them. They'll eventually deflate.

Getting back to the topic. Seems to be a generally positive slant on things in last weeks online N&S.

The planning application which it has been confirmed in writing by Falcon, is to be submitted to the council at the end of the month, seems to be being ammended to take account of the unlikelyhood of the full funding of the transport hub and also to include market feedback.

The Michael St element is also still part of it despite rumours, which is great as it's critical to have a good retail anchor in the old part of town to compliment the North Quays element.

It's good that Falcon seem to be in it for the long haul and recognise that in Ireland things move slowly and the November deadline for funding approval has been quitely dropped/delayed. The scheme overall is put at €350 million. Maybe the thread title can be adjusted to reflect that. Thanks to all in the conucil etc working behind the scenes.

I left Waterford over 20 years ago for work. Hopefully this will come to fruition and be part of the solution so that future generations in the South East don't have to do the same.

I heard planning application is still a few weeks away and I hear KK county council are in support as well.

Is it possible that this could be a bogus ad in order to trick investors that the project is still progressing when in actual fact nothing will likely take place for at least ten years

Someone jumped the gun with regards to the funds being provided for relocating the Railway Station. It was discussed but no decision was made it appears.

The Department of Housing and Local Government has insisted that “no decisions” have been made regarding the €39 million being provided to relocate Waterfords station .

So why the gap in understanding, where did it come from.
