    I agree. The lack of accountability in this country is staggering. But the small operator is being hammered by the authorities that be. A bord bia inspector rang me this week to organise an inspection. I had him the last time. I gave him a good bit of ****e on the phone about his nitpicking over small things such as a bit of dust and cobwebs in the parlour. Everything in his report was negative. He failed to mention alll the improvements and investment since the previous inspection.

    I am going to tell all politicians where to go when they come looking for a vote for the next General election. Politicians, civil servants, bord Bia inspectors don't you just love the whole lot of them. That's my rant over for today

    I work with industrial printers like this, no customer would purchase one off us without us doing a site survey first, they also wouldn't pay in full till installation was complete.

    I doubt they need a forklift, someone most likely talking up electric pallet truck.

    You're like reggie now, with the cryptic clues

    Your not a sheep farmer so! Trying to figure out the author of the journals article name on here is the hard bit. Wrangler was the easy bit!!

    Any truth in the rumour that those were Michael Healey-Rae's pants hanging in the back ground? :rolleyes:

    Seriously though, those printers look like large industrial types. Not your typical office printer near the water cooler. I'd imagine they would be used to print tribunal reports etc, that could run to 100s of pages.

    It's a wind up from a Russian site.

    Cow thinks she's in an open field. Ah this is lovely. Cow runs across field. Cow runs into wall. Cow dead.

    My guess it was a test to see just how gullible the western media have become.

    When the machine was delivered it couldn't fit into the dail. Went into storage at something ridiculous like 6k a month. Was listening about it yesterday when driving. The staff will need extra money to train to use it too

    I heard it was 500 a week storage, back at the suppliers warehouse.
    That's like something our local commercial print shop has,.
    Done know why they need it really, Dept Ag uses four or five commercial print shops to print herd registers etc.

    There was a site survey done and they were warned, you couldn't make it up really, wonder how many knee replacements would a million finance.
    Forklift or pallet truck, apparently there's a H and S issue with the forklift in the passage ways

    Not the first time, Dublin LA bought water meters and also then bought the meter boxes. Nobody checked that one wouldn't fit into the other.

    Don't know the detail of the difference of opinion between Sam and Say but here's a piece on the charcoal;

    I heard on the radio yesterday evening that it can print 16,000 pages per hour. The reporter was at a commercial printing company that has one and they said the machine is designed to run 24/7/365.

    Its situated in kildare house.
    Kildare house would be responsible for printing for leinster Hse. Dept of agri is a separate entity

    To be honest that's slow compared to the printers I work on, although to be fair they're designed for a different purpose.

    80,000 pages per hour would be about normal, it's about 100ft of paper a min.

    From pictures I've seen I bet the printer fitted in the room and someone measured it and thought grand it fits. I think I read it's 6'10 tall so most ceilings would be higher, problem is a machine like that needs lots of air space around it too. Site survey should have been done by supplier and they should know what space it needs.

    They said on the News or Ivan Yates last night that they were advised by the supplier it wouldn't work

    No it's designed for high output full colour graphics broachers/flyers etc, but I could sell them the perfect model for printing the tribunal reports :D
