According to CSO, Waterford City was the 3rd smallest Council area in the state in 2006. Only Leitrim and Longford were smaller. Carlow is bigger.

However, in fairness to Partizan, the reality is that Waterford City should contain the north bank hinterland (including the railway station) which currently counts as Kilkenny. It's my belief that the GAA jersey has held Waterford back down the years, and Limerick too. John Gormley should redraw the boundary so that the City of Waterford contains the north bank inside the N25 and from a line where the N25 turns north towards New Ross to the narrows north of the Barrow Bridge. In return for the boost to their rates, the City should commit to taking control of BE City services ensuring both the intercity bus station and the railway station have decent service. Obviously it can't be done for another 12 months as Kilkenny has suffered enough in 2010

Do you want to a start a civil war?

We could also take all the rate-farming areas of Roscommon ('Cortober' - Carrick on Shannon, Athlone and Ballinasloe) away and rationalised Drogheda if we're doing that...

I'm serious. If we want to honestly call Limerick and Waterford cities, their councils should control roughly a 5km radius from their city halls in all directions at minimum. In Limerick's case the acquisition of Caherdavin from the County was a good start and Parteen and Athlunkard should come in from Clare.

You know that KK will never surrender the northside of the river.

L1011 · 13-09-2010 09:25PM

Its not theirs to not surrender, they are but an administrative division of the state.

MAybe Tipperary should have it....they took nearly everything else I hear...

Absolutley. This is not the last time that you will see a passenger train on this line. Roll on the new operator who will provide the SE with a decent rail service.

It's a temporary ban, legitimately earned.

not true at all. They'll run a weed train down it once just to prove its being "properly maintained"

That would be the well known weedkiller "Miracle Gro"?

Or will they claim that to keep the Greens happy they switched to an all natural weed killer that just doesn't work like the nasty chemical kind?

I'm not sure if I get your point - is you contention that Partizan's post isn't personally abusive? Because that's what the ban is for...

Also:
a) Please don't question moderator decisions on-thread, it drags the thread off topic and isn't fair to the other posters
b) If you have an issue with someone else's post (mickydoomsux's for example...), please report that post

Please PM me if you need more information (if you're that interested in why someone else got banned), please don't take this thread off-topic.

All i was saying is that mickydoomsux deliberatly tried to rile people. personal abuse cant be tolerated but there is no need for posters to try rile people who were having a discussion

...and now you have an infraction for back seat modding. If you respond to or question this on-thread you will be getting a ban.

you must have near broken your wrist holding your phone out the window for that video:) and it leads to a question that if the barrow bridge is safe why is there a 5mph speed restriction on it?

Haha had a bit of a cramp alright, was a bit worried in case i dropped the phone as its the new Iphone

Its such a lovely bridge and well worth going to see.

Our man in Havana · 21-09-2010 04:38PM

5mph? No trains have ever obeyed that limit.

it takes over 3minutes to cross the bridge and as some people seem to like saying there is a black box on the 2700's which records speed.
