    Rob, will planning go in next week?

    I think alarm bells will start ringing if not.

    Rob is also the first to criticise others on twitter, so will be very interesting to see how he reacts if it hasn't gone in.

    When was planning originally supposed to go in? March?

    In fairness it probably would have been in and a start made, if the funding commitments from government had come through. There seems to be movement now though, so if planning doesn't go in soon you'd have to wonder if it will ever happen.

    I would say no at this stage, which will be disappointing and for the first time in this process, the doubt of it happening is beginning to kick it.

    No they don’t and the answer is no.

    This project was never going to happen.

    Thanks for that Motivator !

    Dunno, you'd have expected the rumour mill to have kicked in if it wasn't going to happen.

    Not sure if you are aware Harry but the rumour mill has kicked in so much that the mill has actually exploded.

    What clear evidence has there been to convince people that this will happen? Sweet FA if you ask me. The council puppets have gone very quiet on it.

    Darren s from the news and star was on WLR this morning. Said that it would be fair to give Falcon til the end of the month but then it was time to put up or shut up. Said there were a lot of rumours going around at the moment. Also mentioned the Milan development that they were associated with but never materialised

    Don't see why they would have said they would submit the planning application by the end of November unless they were going to. They could have just said in the comming months or something opened ended if they were not sure. I'd give it until the 6th Dec before I'd read anything into it.

    If it didn't happen it'll blow a massive hole in the Gubberments 2040 plan for the southeast, if you look back at that, everything assumes the NQP will go ahead and so save them having to spend much in the region.

    Just because it doesn’t happen with them doesn’t mean it won’t happen at all

    Case closed, North Quays is not happening lads, people on the internet said so.

    Perhaps we could now turn to complaining and cursing any enthusiasm for the remainder of this thread?

    Does it really need the €350m all or nothing approach?

    I read somewhere during the summer that were a number of people who were waiting in the wings in case falcon pulled out. It’s an SDZ, which apparently is quite sought after.

    I'm going for YES!! Power of positive thinking and all that.
    Even if it's late, I still believe it will go ahead, too much preparatory work done already by the city council; bridge PP, road widening at Brown's Lane etc.

    Speaking of Brown's Lane, anyone know what's the hold up on it.

    The original intention was for it to be done and dusted by the August bank holiday. It's now November and it doesn't look like they'll be done by the end of the year either.

    It's a 100 yard stretch of road, the New Ross bypass a much more complex and difficult job will be open before it.

    All public construction work in Waterford is under-resourced. This draws the process out giving the impression that 'something is always happening'. Other examples are the works around Arundel Sq and of course the Quays which went on for years and years.
