    I am glad your vision for Donegal with large scale industrialisation and thousands more people is not looking likely. Donegal is magnificent for its rural beauty, its uncrowded beaches, uncrowded roads, thats why we live here. If we wanted to live in the rat race we could just move to any big city. Donegal is an escape from hectic, stressful life.

    Do you realize that today is today, it is not a thousand years ago? The Liffey is not as suitable as the Shannon estuary could be for large modern ships.

    Foynes port is already there. Next!

    The sea is a big place. With investment, Limerick could be twenty times bigger. A transit port is a hub, not a final destination.

    What magic tree would the money grow on to make it 20 times bigger?

    It has already seen significant investment but it isn’t growing much.

    You need to stop digging.

    I will not grace these questions with an answer. Talk of adding insult to injury!

    usual cowardly non-response

    I'm partial to your abracadabra,

    I'm raptured by the joy of it all.

    and apologize to the people of rural Ireland who have been scattered far and wide?

    Scattered themselves far and wide with bloody one-off houses. Then complain there's no fibre broadband or mains water. You couldn't make it up

    Well as the link below shows, the Netherlands with their 16 million people seems to be able to enyoy a stress free environment while benefitting from infrastructural investment and having an industrial economy. That country is no bigger than Connacht/Ulster. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6d86qUFgT4

    The Shannon estuary (including Foynes) lacks serious investment and development.

    Serious investment would be the sort of money Dublin gets and that is the magic tree. Let Dublin make do with the average for the other 25 counties and count themselves lucky because Dublin is much smaller than average.

    Planning and zoning and supporting services are totally inadequate in rural Ireland. If Connacht/Ulster was independant they would be much better off. At least they would get these basic laws and services.

    More horse****. The locals voted in the councillors that created the local planning laws. The locals are to blame.

    How exactly would they be able to afford to provide them?

    Central government should tax you appropriately. That would soften your sheite for you, wouldn’t it?

    Wrong.

    By not propping up Dublin anymore.

    Wrong.

    fantastic rebuttal!!
    Care to flesh out the hows and whys of it per chance?

    Now that a no deal Brexit is likely, watch the EU destroy Irelands corporate tax regime and essentially look to isolate us. The narrative is changing from the EU supporting an important member in Brexit negotiations to heavy criticism of tax affairs. worrying times.

    The EU will break apart come the next recession. Countries like Ireland, Greece, Italy and Spain will be demanding more QE when the next recession comes but Germany has sought assurances that this will not happen. Highly indebted countries always try to inflate their way out of a debt crisis and Germany in particular is concerned about inflationary risks.

    I cannot see the EU holding together in that scenario and I think the next recession will be especially bad.

    Clueless.

    Nobody and nothing props up Dublin. Dublin raises much more in taxes than the government spends in Dublin.

    Dublin and the other major urban centres prop up the rest of the country.

    Wrong.

    I’m out. I’ve just hit my allocated allowance of stupidness to respond to.

    Instead, Donegal and Roscommon get nothing but the sadness of seeing the last of their loved ones leave and the last village shop close its doors. This is genocide and replacing Donegal and Roscommon people with economic migrants from places other than Donegal and Roscommon in former hotels does not alter this fact.

    That's homicide. A dog scooting his arse all over the carpet - that's genocide. A young boy kicking the head off a daffodil on May 1 - that's genocide. Walking into your service station to discover that there's no large cans of Pepsi Max available, only Club Zero - that's genocide.

    Just heard Shannon airport has grown passenger numbers by a third since it broke away from Dublin airport authority. If Shannon airport can thrive without Dublin, so could Leitrim and everywhere else. All it takes is for Dublin to stop being so greedy. The national revenue is not just for Dublin, it`s for the whole country.

    You're trying far too hard.

    Are they counting all the US military planes and personnel flying through Shannon?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,138 ✭✭✭realitykeeper

    They are counting passengers. Airlines generally fill every seat on every flight so if some passengers don`t book, others get their seats. Military aircraft do not carry hundreds of passengers like commercial flights so even if there are any US military aircraft landing in Shannon (or Dublin for that matter), their passenger numbers would be insignificant.

    I see the estimated costs have risen by 9 million euro for Cork`s planned convention center. This 9 million is to be classed as a loan instead of part of the state`s contribution. Any chance the extra 1.1 billion in extra costs for the Children`s Hospital in Dublin could be classed as a loan to Dublin?

    The National Childrens Hospital.

    The clue is in the name.....

    More evidence that you are struggling to understand reality and the world around you. Generally fill every seat? If you flew on anything other than holiday charter flights or a quick hop across the pond, you'd realise how wrong you are. But not to worry, the rest of us know, so you can go on living in la-la land.

    Also, troops regularly fly in 'normal' passenger aircraft on contract to the US armed services. Not every military flight takes place in a C-130. You should read a few books instead of taking what you see in movies and read on oddball websites as being real.

    Or take those pills you're supposed to be taking. And stop taking the ones you're not supposed to be taking.
