Can everyone please leave Dublin for 2-3 years so that we can test out our idea's about how to fix things. We need our railway’s to handle more capacity, the M50 needs another lane each direction, more intensive housing developments in the city, maybe even a useful light rail system (or maybe half way through we’ll decide our original idea of an underground is the only viable option)
If when you come back nothing is better you can't blame us but we promise to have 100's new rules you have to abide to (and same amount of new taxes of course).
As the leaving ambassador said you (para-phrasing) are sheep you like nothing better than moaning about things you have no control over and don’t try to change. We know you, you are our children who know no better, as a good quote in the paper the other day, you must be given a fait-accompli then you won’t demonstrate only cry into your pints.
Often, when out at night listening to everyone moan about this sort of thing, I look around the table and see the cut-throat gangsters, mountain moving giants I work with during the day just sit there and tut-tut with the gangster FF’s in power ducking and weaving their way out of trouble. What a statement by the Minister of Transport to make about this! Wasn’t my fault, they didn’t tell me officially, so if you’re pissed off don’t worry I’m on you’re side. Ahhh, but no I’m not going to change anything I just don’t want you to blame me for anything…
I’m becoming a Frenchman who organises the whole society into a strike if a loaf of bread went up by 10c.
