Liveline With Joe Duffy - Mod Note in OP

Folks, stop ye're whinging, Joe is bigger than RTE. (and when I say that, I mean he really is bigger than RTE)

The Irish government didn't want the money first time around. I wonder what will be their response this time. "The Irish government said it would respect the ruling". That's very magnanimous of them. 😐 I think they've no option but to accept and respect it now, even though they fought it for years with Irish taxpayers money, as I think today's decision is a final ruling.

That money might see us over the line with the completion costs of the National Children's Hospital, and if we're lucky the government might have just about enough left over to build themselves another ridiculous bike shed.

hopefully they will finally use it on some substantial infrastructure works. Metro and a few new prison's. Just avoid using BAM, as the penny should have dropped by now, the initial cheapest tender does not always turn out to be the cheapest

Guessing by the silence that it's another day of misery?

Silence is golden. Especially so when the alternative is what yesterday was.

I remember Billy Connolly talking about his music teacher. I will look for the clip, but I remember it going "She was a big fan of all the modern teaching methods. Like grabbing you by the back of the neck and smashing your face into the desk".

Found it:

Even Joe should appreciate that this is a landmark ruling and an eye watering amount of money. It would take over 6,000 Joe's "working" for more than 6,000 years to "earn" that money.
