Our e-conomic e-future is assured! see

All we need to do now is to stop bitching, stand back and let the govt. spend our money on expensive items such as the Grand Academy of Lagado and the Digitalhub (have to make a trip to see that some day, I wonder what colour is it? does it emit a low humming noise?).

So relax and stop whinging, what do ye want DSL for? ye've got a cinema.

Thank god, finally an organisation that looks like it's going to sort out this e-hub(cap) of ours.

Yep, they certainly have the bull by the horns:

This link explains EVERYTHING you need to know about the first couple of posts here.

Jeeesus!!!

What a poxy effort!!!! I just downloaded the pdf and had a quick look at it (no, I didn't read it fully, yet - lads, tell me have I missed much?).
If this effort was not that sad I'd be rolling on the floor laughing. Is this all the Irish Government wants to do to get a proper data-communications structure for Ireland???
Well, they should have better stayed in bed then working something like this out. At least they would have saved a lot of tax-payer's money that way...

Sorry, lads I better stop here before i post something that I may regret later...
Anyway, as you can see I am 'absolutely excited' about those 'great news'.

Chame down, chame down.......... & get it together.

Man one has to be careful around here, you could get strung up for having a sense of humor.

I suggest reading the thread, with attention paid to the whois look up & date the domain was created!

rofl @ 20p to buy a clue...

yes I dont think the IOffline crew will be disbanding any time soon, and as far as I'm aware some of the crew don't even live in dublin, like yerself for example MS. I think it is one of the stated goals of IOFFL to get the whole of Ireland connected anyway so worry not.

Oh and sarcasm can sometimes be very subtle, next time be very careful before replying too early.;)
