That is true. The national rail network is a badly maintained and seriously undervalued resource.
Says the cunt fascinated with life behind the iron curtain…
DART Underground helps the entire of Ireland, helping to increase commuter capacity and frequencies, but won’t get built because it’s seen as building a “Metro for the Dubs”.
Chicago (on a Lake), Boston, Melbourne…the list goes on.

What relevance has that to the west coast?
Are they going to have the DART going to Drogheda by 2030?
Im saying the refusal to live collectively is a celtic phenomenon
That’s not my point at all. Apart from the Tunnel and Terminal 2, everything major that Dublin has invested in has been a disaster. A rail line that can’t handle the capacity. Luas lines that took 13 years to join up, and when they did it can’t handle the crowds. Bus corridors that sent so many buses into the city centre, the city couldn’t handle them.
The concentration of everything into such a small area of the city centre is gonna cause things to implode. If Dublin is going to get a lot of capital investment it needs to be in building things up to lessen the reliance on the city centre.
It should be built. And huge money was invested over 15 years ago in establishing it and then left aside. I worked on bits of it actually. As a “rooral” person, I think it should be a priority investment and would be a national investment.

McWilliams is proposing building a new city on Dublin port and moving the port to balbriggan
They probably will but so what.
It will still be a linear service sharing track with a mainline train.
Dublin will grind to a halt in about 5 years at this rate.
Is that naturally deepwater? Would a treaty have to be reached with the local African tribes people
I don’t get you mate
Only marginal relevance. But what should have relevance is that investment in the West is focused on Galway city putting in serious infrastructure there rather than spreading to Ballinasloe/Castlebar/Roscommon Town etc etc

A lot of that is because things were done on the cheap, no money available so next best option chosen. The Luas works well. Very well but it has not and won’t be extended for a long time because of funding.
We need a mayor or a tsar or somebody with power to drive through a 20 year joined up plan.
Is balbriggan a natural port?
Where could they go even if they wanted to improve. .didn’t Transport effectively give the spare land beside the tracks outside dublin to local farmers back in the day? Good luck getting that back…
They could teach you micks something about infrastructure.
Is the water around Balbriggan deep enough to handle the traffic Dublin port does? I doesn’t look it to me.
The second part of his question was just an ignorant racist remark.
