    Class :-)
    I was just gonna say 50 then decided I'd go a bit above incase 50 was the lowest and I thought surely someone else would go for it.

    Ummm what maths?
    1,439 units
    Current price 17.53c
    1,439 * 17.53 = €250 (ish)
    Divide by five, my guess at inflation = €50
    Multiply by 0.8 to get it into punts = £40 :)

    I originally submitted 11 but thought, gosh stuff was expensive back then salaries were no.....it was probably more.

    Morning

    In 1991 Frank Dunlop paid £112,000 in order to get the lands where Liffey Valley Shopping Centre is build rezoned.

    This money was paid to bribe Dublin City councillors, how many did it buy him?

    So the correct answer was 15, I realised at about 6pm that I should have said that Dunlop claimed he bribed 15 councillors, hes and ex-fianna fail bag man though, friends with Bertie Ahearn, who worked for land developers so we can take his word right? RIGHT??
    I decided that ye all had the same info and let it roll

    So Molly, LoughC and Trigger are all at the bottom. I've given LoughC his wish and f**ked them all out

    Kathleen takes tomorrow's pass

    I mixed up the tribunals too.... I'd imagine there isn't a major site in Dublin that hasn't had some shady dealings going on at some level.
