    Anyone just see this (RTE 1 21.30-22.30)? I only caught the last 20 mins or so but it seemed to confirm everythig you proberly ever suspected about the way the NRA and the Dept of Transport/Environment and the contractors think and behave.

    Mike.

    Excellent programme. You couldn't make up some of that stuff.

    I bet there'll be a bit of hootin' 'n' hellorin' in the Dail for a few days and then it'll be back to business as usual.

    Certainly there's an attitude of "Rip them off, they're only poxy tax payers."

    I guess the scandal of Dublin's invisible 'Strategic Cycle Network' is small peanuts compared the PPP rip-off.

    Disgraceful stuff, but we all knew that's how things are. Like has already been said, there'll be a furore for a day or two, then back to business for Bertie's mates.

    Does anyone know if they repeat it? If not I'll just have to watch on their crappy realplayer link.

    its actually a dual carriageway but yea seems pointless since that streach of road is as straight as they come.

    I dont think people would stand for tolls on every streach of new road that is to be built.

    Not much chance of Bertie ending up on a trolly - it would be off to a private room in Blackrock Clinic for him !


    National disgrace the way taxpayers money is being wasted :mad:


    Average International road-building cost over-run: 20%

    Average Irish road-building cost over-run: 87%


    ......and to add insult to injury, the cost estimators get a BONUS for cost over-runs !!! :eek:
