Matters Regarding Limerick šŸ™ļø (Part 2)

Could you make a six-story international restaurant out of it I wonder.

You could keep the bacon and cabbage lads on the ground floor but rising up you could have Korean, Mexican, Italian etc., It could of course be converted to a hurling museum either…

Great demand in Limerick for competition to Finnegans…. :fried_egg::fries:

In this isolated incident I don’t see that Moran has done much wrong to be honest. Looks like he’s been financially prudent to me which is no bad thing.

Make it a general sorts museum for starters.

Stick a golf simulator in it too. They are a grand way to waste a few hours.

He’s made PJ cry. He shouldn’t be doing that.

Ya he upset jps ego. He advised jp in a previous capacity. Tells you all you need to know. Amazed he managed to get elected in the first place.

He made it look like PJ was pulling a stunt passing this loss making doomed white elephant to the Council.

JP’s problem is that his heart is just too big.

JP should’ve gifted me the 30 mill and I’d have spread it around the town and county.

It should have been possible to smooth out or agree the costs and terms of the agreement without it blowing up publicly. That it didn’t suggests to me that Moran’s ego got in the way. He could have been financially prudent in private. That he was the only member of the council that didn’t show up to the meeting only reinforces this.

He’s single handedly keeping GAA clubs alive with his altruism.

He’s keeping badly run ones alive perhaps

Give it to the Troy studios people so we can make sit coms and motion pictures in Limerick. Get The UL involved to tack some sort of degree to it. Bada bing bada boom.

You wouldn’t even need to take down all the Richard Harris stuff.

Or could give it to the video game people. Kids like video games. Let them make playstation in there

He only has to go over the road to his own Staker Wallace complex to see that

Town needs a snooker club. Throw one of them in there. I’ll run it

It’ll be the fanciest vape and cash4gold complex in the world in 5 years time

Was the business case that the IRE would have a limited lifespan to end 2027, i.e., anyone who wanted to visit it would have done so by then & it wouldn’t be sustainable into the future? I’m struggling to understand the dynamics here. Yet PJ was demanding a clause that the council could never sell the building? What was the intention on all sides from 2028 onwards? Mayor Moran’s stance seems to be prudent & sensible in this context. Other councillors lining up to apologise to PJ to try to get a crumb from his table is frankly pathetic.

Touch of the Marie Antoinette about JP here,
600k is obviously pocket change to him but the council couldn’t afford that for what was frankly a shitty tourist experience dedicated to a game that a tiny percentage of tourists care a cent about

It failed because it was crap
