    Meanwhile, Moore St. I give up.

    'recreate the streetscape of 100 years ago for two poxy weeks' . Useless shower.

    I'm just after reading on some local Waterford news site that they're gonna have the organisers shot afterwards to make it more realistic. This country is a ****ing joke. There's people on the streets and they're wasting money on firing squads and ammunition.

    Since the date of the article was pointed out Liveline researchers were recalled to the office for an emergency session to discuss how else to fill an hour of Monday's show

    The article is from 2015. People should learn to read the date of publication before jumping in and making a big deal about nothing.

    There was this guy down the pub, right, who said that it's going to be stored in the same warehouse as the e-voting machines! And the taxpayer is already shelling out half a bazillion euros a year for that, so it will be a full bazillion next year.

    And do you know who owns the warehouse?

    Michael Noonan's mother's next door neighbour's nephew.

    FACT!

    They should take it down, leave it down, and replace it with a statue of Pearse

    They should spend the money on craft beer and kale and hand it out to the homeless instead. Like what they used to do in 1916.

    So they're gonna move the 1916 commemoration to April Fools Day? That's madness...

    FACT!

    Did we not sell the e-voting machines to Robert Mugabe after the deal with Saddam Hussein fell through?
