I'd imagine sliding and hitting a pole under Armco would have serious repercussions also

But to do this before Midleton - Youghal bridge is bad enough, to suggest it with Midleton - Youghal bridge not even being considered at all is a bit ridiculous.

In total, the announcement sets out €6.3 million for several projects around the county. The funding includes for the delivery and design a number of strategic road projects such as the N24 Cahir to Waterford section west from Mooncoin, and N25 Waterford to Glenmore, which will connect to the New Ross bypass due to open later this year.

However, if you are going to post other people's photos, can you please credit them appropriately. It's the right thing to do. In fairness, you have credited photos that you got from the m11 website, so I don't see why the facebook photos don't deserve the same. Unless of course, you are instamavic, but it seems to have been stated here categorically that you are not.

It is important that you copy & paste this into social media to demonstrate that this country is f"""ed & that it is run by incompetent corrupt morons who have the mainstream press in their pocket & that they intend to introduce genetically modified manure & artificial food (or something like that - don't be bothering with the details). On that matter don't ever listen to experts - an expert is someone who knows more & more about less & less until they ultimately know f**k all about nothing. The only hope is that they stop this bridge & convert the existing truncated structure into housing for the homeless. It's well past time that the state & it's associated apparatus of suppression take me on board as a consultant - again I appeal to you all to copy & paste this info - I'm all you have got between you & doom. Some may accuse me of orchestrating outrage & disseminating discontent - nothing could be further from the truth & to validate my credentials may I wist you all a happy 2019 - it will be happier if you follow me. Obviously in the interim I will require voluntary donation to continue my important project of countering cosy cartels conniving contrary (to) citizen concerns (CCCCCCC). Rock on brothers (& sisters) - I an seriously serious (I think).

Although Rosslare is geographically closest to the EU, Brexit looming, decent road infrastructure imminent, there doesn't seem to be a viable business case for expanding the port.
