Concerns over repair costs for Leinster House’s answer to Trump’s ‘reflecting pool’
irishtimes.com/politics/oire…
Meanwhile 8billion euro ringfenced for #MetroLink? Are some numbers just too big for public scrutiny?
The Newton Plan calls for the Metrodart alongside the M50..very doable and better than #MetroLink.
Google it @NewstalkFM
It links msinline rail to airport too.

Is part of the problem that kids can be fussy and the responsibility for getting children to eat is being shifted to the schools?
Fingal councillors’ Luas demands could stall plans for 16,200 homes in Dunsink | Irish Independent share.google/qdT5jlnusfGbdRI…
Why not extend the Finglas Luas line to Dublin airport @DarraghOBrienTD , this would be a game changer for many.
Will rent-a-room scheme increase encourage more landlords to participate?

While this definitely suits some, like the lady featured, pensioners and others are already accomodating adult family members (with no tax relief?) due to housing crisis.
More than €1 billion set aside for bus and rail but passengers face another fare review

Why is money being #sunk into #MetroLink on a huge scale but any advance on transport elsewhere and there is suddenly no money? @DarraghOBrienTD @jackfchambers

Surely a bin bag foldable frame would work?

Poultry farmers outside the Sole restaurant in Dublin today, restaurant co-owned by the Chair of Bord Bia Larry Murrin. The restaurant was using foreign chicken instead of Bord Bia approved Irish chicken when visited by a restaurant reviewer recently.
The protesting poultry growers supply Manor Farm and they are questioning why Mr Murrin was using chicken from overseas instead of their Bord Bia approved Irish chicken.
The tag line of the Sole restaurant is a ‘Taste of Ireland in the heart of Dublin’ yet a recent review of the restaurant by Irish Times food reviewer Corinna Hardgrave questioned the consistency of their food sourcing policy with their claimed ‘food philosophy’.

O'Brien promises new SEAI grant 'will help' cut energy bills | Newstalk share.google/2JchquSO8yKoqQL…
Is this new grant part pf #Budget27 or does everything the minister does come from a bottomless fund? A couple of half billion here and there sunk into #MetroLink regardless of costs.
Policy reversal on freezing fares is all about #MetroLink spending.

The Irish Times view on the budget and energy prices: hope is not a good strategy

Perhaps @ IrishTimes ed you might revise your position on #MetroLink as not so essential infrastructure afterall. @CSOIreland know #housing is biggest wish and not the 77k.
The argument that the Swords to Dublin city corridor is highly congested so we need go build up to 77k more housing units there to justify a radial underground at once in hugely unstable cost conditions is not convincing imv. @businessposthq
What about all that money already spent in such a big rush? @jackfchambers it might be wise to stop signing cheques? Kids sometimes put things in supermarket trolly hoping to get it through the check out. Is that what @DarraghOBrienTD Dep have been doing?
Government to authorise new funding as €700m agreed in April runs out
Did any of it go on the #MetroLink sunk costs @jackfchambers? @businessposthq it would be good to know?
