    Complete nonsense. It's common sense that a densely populated city is more efficient from an infrastructural and public services point of view. That means the rest of the country is less efficient. In that scenario the net flow of money will be in one direction. Basic economics here.What you see when you go on your trip to Dublin and think there are 'more facilities than anywhere outside dublin' is acutally a density of facilities. This is to match the density of population. There is a difference between 'density' and 'amount' which you also probably need to do some research on.
    Your argument that because 3m live outside Dublin, and 1m inside makes absolutely no sense if you think about it. With that nonsense you could argue that someone who is on €500k a year is hugely a net beneficiary of the tax pot, because he is only 1 person and the rest of the country is 3.999999m. Of course that is nonsense as we know the guy on €500k pays €250k odd of tax in the year    .

    Nah it was a joke about the weather - yer man thought he was in the financial forum or something. :rolleyes:

    Btw your 'basic economics'101 is bs. But that's a whole other thread ...

    How else would you describe them?

    They're just posters whose opinions differ from yours. You can refer to them without name-calling

    I don't think there is, is there?

    Are the roads not filled with people who haven't a clue how to drive in wintry weather, bus stops thronged with confused commuters wondering where there Bambionicemobile is, pavements littered with the bumprints of the fallen?

    Maybe things are improving.

    Yea yea, and they call Dubliners Jacko and Decko.

    Relax, culchie is a well used phrase for country folk.

    Not everything has to be labelled name calling!

    Honestly glad I left the car at home today most of the roads were full of snow or compacted snow even the main road up my way. Wondering if they'll pull the transport thats working later on if more snow comes barreling down...

    We'll I'm from rural Ireland and would consider it name-calling.
    Some definitions of culchie:
    Google: "an unsophisticated country person"
    OED: "one who lives in, or comes from, a rural area; a (simple) countryman (or woman), a provincial, a rustic"
    Dicitionary.com: "a rough or unsophisticated country-dweller from outside Dublin"

    You might be confusing jacko with jackeen. Used when Dublin was considered more Union then the rest. Jack from Union Jack and een to mean small.

    Edit. The irony that your name is murpho!!

    The people who drive 4WD jeeps and believe that they are no longer subject to the laws of physics are hilarious.

    They're not as much fun as people with the same large ones that don't like to take them out in this weather for fear of damaging the car!

    Mighty serious joke when you are asking people to provide links. (whilst not doing so yourself) You were caught out. Sin é.

    Ive seen several people just spinning their wheels in first gear as if thats going to achieve anything

    I love that dry, cold, still air, it's rare you in Ireland that it's so noticeable after shaving.

    I was working a night shift last night. Coming home was okay but still a lot of reckless driving on the roads. Due in for another night shift tonight, I'm not going in, bosses losing the head....cant believe they really expect us to risk travelling in that weather.

    Some of us have to go to work. I got away with working from home for the morning but I have to go in after lunch. HEavy snow in Athlone now and about an inch or so on the ground.
