    Over the past few days iv noticed they have been bringing in loads of massive steel cages, to me it looks like the makings of a ramp for a jetty..possibly for the flying boats??

    Here's a picture

    They are turning the People's Park into Thunderdome. They will round up all the scum, locking in there and let them kill each other until there is only one left standing. When he/she looks to be left out he/she then gets a shot to the head.

    Either that or what the OP said.

    The content inside the steel cages is what is of importance.
    The steel frames are only to hold whatever is been shipped.

    It's just so pictureseque. ;)

    It could be that the the Clarion hotel complained that the pile of hegarty scrap was getting a bit small and the limerick port authority had to import some more steel pronto.... ;)

    No he suggested it - I confirmed it. My last post on the stupid argument.

    You confirmed nothing, to be honest. You just linked to an article written six and a half months ago. The OP had already suggested that as a possible explanation, so you offered nothing new really.

    I really hope its Bazz's option. :):) Thunderdome would be like a new UFC haha and the last scumbag standing in the dome, Raffle him off and let the winner of the raffle kill him in the most painful way possible. I so so like that. Unfortunately its just a dream

    why cant it be the simple explantation maybe there is a supervillain about to build a monstor sized robot to help him take over the world;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,348 ✭✭✭the drifter


    Its got to be something manufactured locally thats being shipped out..I passed them being transported by truck and them seem to come in off the bypass so might expain why foynes wasnt the port of call...im sure they will be leaving this week.

    Long time lurker here, don't want to name the company I think may be involved, but it looks like a skid unit that has been under construction by themselves for the past while. Only saw it the once when passing their workshop and if you place about 4 or 5 of them 1 on top of the other, you'd get the idea. It has been broken down for transportation. Again not sure where it's going but have been told it's going on an oil rig or something similar!
    Hope this helps?

    It's the Mayor's great plan to ship all the foreigners back to their countries, thus reducing the unemployment. :D

    What an ignorant statement to make and to even imply that foreign workers are part of our economical difficulties shows a lot of stupidity on your behalf.
