The CEO of IrishRail thinks the zinc from Tara Mines is coming from 'the Tara Hills'....

artful_codger · 23-02-2012 11:00AM

so to sum it up, he wants funding for electrification, dart underground, state subsidies for freight, and double-tracking.

two chances.

state subsidy for freight = penalties and charges on Road Freight.... the pols will have no problem introducing such stealthy business breakers but I doubt IrishRail will ever get the collected moolah...

lol@praise for Irish Rail CEO. His vision for the western rail corridor hasn't worked out so well, unless you're one of the pensioners on free rail passes who actually use it.

is it a good idea that people are ringing in to tell Pat of empty land banks around the country? He'll be out putting electronic gates on them by lunch.

spank_inferno · 27-02-2012 10:21AM

aah... the Monday morning scrounger 'love-in'... from a pub no less!

It warms the heart of very worker-bee listening, labouring for another day to afford them the privilage.

This guy likes saying " for sure ".

It's a habit you get into when living abroad as it's a common expression amongst people for whom English is not their primary language.

Des seemed genuinely flumoxed at Pat bringing the topic of a Woman into the discussion of football.

Pats criticism of American voters rings a bit hollow when you think of who our lot have voted for in recent history. Jackie Healy, Mattie McGrath, Michael Lowry, the entire Sinn Fein political party etc.

I'm getting bored of hearing these American primary discussions, every week. He does not need to return to the subject until the Republicans pick their candidate.

Even more so if you recall the post-budget programmes when Biffo and Lenihan were in Finance, PK used to run interference if any difficult questions were asked.

First time to not be annoying shocker! She was excellent in this piece in fairness. She has described the dispute in an eloquent and interesting fashion. Well done mlod, you do have it in you...

Éamon Ó Cuív rewriting history again .... 'sure it was nothing to do with me I was only a Government Minister looking after my own patch'.
God Help poor old Ireland if this is the best we can produce

The tears are flowing down my screen. If only this guy had been in Cabinet for the past 14 years!

Hopefully we're listening to the end of the political career of another of the Economic Traitors!

Was saying on the liveline thread yesterday Ivy that I have problems with it every day (both the website stream and the TuneIn radio app on my phone.)

Its a joke. It looks like RTE spent a lot of money with its fancy design but my stream keeps dropping off and I have to reload it maybe 8/9 times an hour. Really annoying.
