that'd be me dave, haha, long story...
Whats the story with the opera centre? The plans to do it up were scrapped weren't they?
so they spent €12.5m on it, and then they couldnt figure out what they wanted to do with it? honestly, they should seriously be held accountable to somebody for the way they píss money away like it was going out of fashion!
correction- it HAS gone out of fashion, LCC never got the memo so they still squander money on white elephant buildings, lollipop lamps on william street and painting 'park anywhere taxi ranks' on every street!
i've got a seven year old child here would do a better job of city street planning and amenities than these bufoons! :mad:0 -

What was the comment that the current mayor made before Xmas? That work would start on the centre in either 30 days or 90 days? Pretty sure that similar lines were trotted out by those that came before him as well.
And the €12.5m spent on it is small change compared to what the Opera centre project has cost to date. Over €100m has gone into the project and there is nothing to show for that money save for a boarded up city centre street.0 -

good find Dave, and im sure it was just a happy coincidence that you happened to get a bargain! not to worry, the intention was there at least, lol, as was the local bargain alert thread, but thats probably a long gone zombie thread by now...

And we just got an email un work to say our fire assembly point has changed until mid august (tis usually the park).
Anyone have any clue?
ah, that must be the flat pack self-assembly bulldozer i ordered from argos!
no seriously, no idea dave, hopefully they're ripping up the bricks and laying fresh grass seeds for the summer and cleaning it all up a bit. its an awful pity but how the bins are ever full is beyond me when theres cans and broken glass strewn about the place, i havent been in there much since three years ago when the young lad took a face plant off the steps and onto the bricks where he got a faceful of grit and glass.
he's grand now though, full credit due to the staff at st. johns!

Speaking of things being ripped up, I saw the section by the O'Connell statue that had the nice flowers and plants being torn up this morning and it appeared that the flower/plant area was being replaced with stone/concrete.
Hope not though, as that spot looks really good when it is full of flowers, especially on a sunny day. It really brightens up the area and makes for a nice sight upon entering or leaving the city on that side.0 -

Oi Brendan! Wait until mine is set up! These damn Ikea bulldozers are impossible! We can race!
ah you should've got it in argos snipe, i had to go out to the argos extra store on the childers road for mine, the 'home delivery only' option wasnt available so i told them 'surprise me!'...
bet you didnt get go faster stripes, no fear decals and a volkswagen badge with yours? *thumbs nose* :pac:
after this im heading down to o' connell street with 'lofty' the crane from my bob the builder set to move some statue, you can take a few snaps for the limerick post and the tourists would flock to limerick to see the 'moving statue'- €10million for the city in tourism revenues, we'll be back on the map in no time and niall collins wont be getting his knickers in a twist!
feck this craic im in the wrong job altogether, im running for a job as a city planner, then while im there i can attend night classes ineptitude, incompetency and cronyism so i can run for mayor! 0 -
