    The stupidity of this post is making my hair hurt, so much bullsh/t posted with so little substance.

    It has reasoning and rational, unlike your posts.

    Last time I was in Roscommon, the KFC had closed down. If that's not attempted genocide, I don't know what is!

    They are not being stingy. That would imply they own what they steal.

    Well duuuuh, not every county can get a NATIONAL facility.

    Unless it is Dublin in which case it gets everything, no expense spared.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,138 ✭✭✭realitykeeper


    Dublin subsidises these counties through the ass. Dublin should be getting far more investment than it is, for a city of its size it is woefully lacking in infrastructure. Dubliners get very poor return on the taxes they pay, taxpayers in most of the country get more out of the system than they pay in.

    Even the inflated property taxes which Dubliners have to pay are skimmed off to subsidise rural Ireland.

    Not so. Dublin gets subsidized by the rest of the country and by rights its should be paying rent to the rest of the country for all the things we paid for that Dublin got.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,138 ✭✭✭realitykeeper


    The countryside is literally full of shît ...

    Well that is where your food comes from. Bon appetit :)

    Should this thread not be moved to the Dublin forum as it's essentially one man's tirade against Dublin?

    Another doozy of an opinion that just goes way beyond wrong. Wages in dublin are higher so we pay more tax per capita. The cost of providing services per capita is lower in dublin due to the higher population. You could not be more wrong if you tried, and boy do you try.

    And the mask finally slips ;)

    What mask? Discretion was not my intended modus opperandi.

    Dublin is the largest city with a higher population than the other cities combined.
    Every city has a motorway direct to Dublin.
    Leinster has a higher population that the other 3 provinces combined.

    Explain again why building in Dublin doesn't suit the vast majority of the people in this country?


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,138 ✭✭✭realitykeeper


    Dublin actually feeds the poorer counties by generating the massive revenue needed.

    Wrong on all counts. Dublin has yet to repay the rest of the country in monetary terms for what it got. If trends continue, Dublin will also be reliant on water from the west.

    Dublin was a mistake. Time to invest elsewhere.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,546 ✭✭✭FishOnABike


    I for one think we should build an airport and children’s hospital on top of carrauntoohil. The summit has been neglected by government for far too long and deserves just as much investment as Dublin, regardless of population.

    Aiming high ;-)

    That is a complete and utter falsehood.

    Laughable. Do you expect to be taken seriously with this sort of rubbish? What "things have you paid for that Dublin got" ? In reality, the flow of taxpayers' funds is very much in the opposite direction.

    Scrap the cap!

    Any notion on when you'd like to say that Dublin was a mistake from? Keep in mind it's over 1000 years old. Just wondering which century you want to bash so we can figure out when your plan should have applied from.

    It is all the vikings fault.

    What absolute nonsense. And I say this as someone who lives, and was born and bred, in deeply rural Ireland. The facts don't support your premise. Care to elaborate?

    Remember the good old days when Ireland was a depressing rural nation? Where the only thing to do was move out or get molested by priests?

    You should check out the OPs views on catholic Ireland.

    It is a living mistake which started a 1000 years ago and is getting worse as it goes.

    I will not grace these questions with an answer. Talk of adding insult to injury!

    Sounds like you are very jealous of Leinster and Dublin in particular. Dublin is generally a welcoming place, more so than some of the villages of Donegal. You too can have a chunk of all the country taxes that are being stolen if you move here!

    Welcoming? Really!!?? Somehow I don`t think Dubliners would welcome an overnight increase in population of 30% in the form of migrants (as has been the case in some rural communities) and the few Ireland do accept are sent to the back of beyonds (by the Dubs). Indeed the Dublin Regulation (604/2013) shows just how "welcoming" Dublin is. Migrants coming to Europe will all be told the reason they must stay in Lampedusa or Lesbos is because of the Dublin regulation and I think they will make up their own minds on the kind of place Dublin is.

    I hear you're a racist now father!


    Nothing wrong with foreigners. I work and deal with them every day in many aspects of life.

    A living mistake, you say?

    Oh, the irony.
