Our political system elects weak governments. They will never be able to take on the public sector or the unions. So no matter who we elect it won't change.Yes, but who do politicians get their mandate from? In some regards, we are a stupid race of people only concerned with our own parochial concerns and interests and are continuing to pay a high price for such ignorance.

Yep, it gives us a strong parliament but a weak government. I'm not saying I'd change it but them’s the drawbacks.What do you mean by the political system? PR?

That Clairemorris to Collooney (and possibly all the others also) involved no acquisition costs afaik, as the line was in existance but just not used for years and in a poor state of repair.
What's the deal with the link between Heuston St and Connolly? Are they still planning on creating a new tunnell even though there is one there that could just be upgraded ? More waste !
Well, now look whats happened to the head of IE's Transport21 projects !!
"Rail project manager removed from post after comments"
[broken link removed]
It seems IE think the rail link is viable.
According to the Meath Chronicle report,
"There are also political sensitivities around the issue although the Department of Transport has made no statement on the latest development involving Mr Finn.
Just two weeks ago, Minister for Transport Noel Dempsey said that the Dublin-Navan project would definitely go ahead"
Hmmm, political sensitivities, whatever can they mean ?

The link isn't working for me, and I can't seem to navigate around that site.
