Prince Charles coming to Kilkenny(No political crap)

Jodotman

Kilkenny spending millions on his arrival next week; army and gaurds everywhere checking fields, roads, pubs etc, hedges been cut on the route, anything that belongs to the council been painted, roads been tarmaced, flowers been planted everywhere.

Never seen anything like it before. Some waste of taxpayers money.

Ken.

Rumour has it he want's to meet Henry Sheflin so he can ask him what its like to be a king.

Kilkenny probably needed a spring cleaning.

Or queen ?

The place has been like a building site with all the roadworks which seem to have been going on forever at this stage.

Kilkenny depends on tourism and agriculture, so this is good in my opinion.

Himself and Camilla also visiting Kildare and Dublin.

If it makes them spruce the place up then it's not wasted money at all. Tourist season is about to begin so if it needed done all the better.

Do you have a breakdown of the expenditure or is it a bs figure from your heaf?

Do the army suddenly get extra pay due to this visit

Do council workers get extra pay for doing their job this week?

Do gardai get extra for this as well?

Somehow I doubt it, so your rant is complete BS

I'm sure the hatred will start soon. Personally, I wouldn't cross the street to see him but I've no 'ideological' objection to the visit. Good for tourism if nothing else.

Riddle101

Seems only natural to me. A foreign Dignitary is visiting so they have to prepare for his arrival. Pretty sure most countries would do the same.

If it was Prince Philip it would be worth it, now that he has announced his retirement from racism, his last few gigs should be priceless

Pity the lug-eared One isn't planning a diversion up our boreen. The Tarmac could do with the Pre-Royal Treatment.

It's dreadful. Council workers expected to do some actual work... cutting the hedge instead of staring at it, leaning on a shovel.
There's a human rights violation in there somewhere, oh the humanity.

Sure won't the place look lovely for when Waterford takes it over.

What relation was Charles to Mountbatten? Will Charles be going on a boat trip when he's over?

Do they dig up the roads when he leaves? Surely this is a boon for the marble city?

Yes. That road is destined for Dublin, brick by brick. The flowers too.
They're too good for them in Kilkenny.
And the new paint will wash off in the next rain shower.

I don't know if anyone is getting overtime for this. But you are accusing someone of B.S. This clearly means you think that they are not on overtime.

Did you read it somewhere or see a council report or something like that?

Kinda goes against the grain of eco Charlie wanting everyone to live like cavemen to save the planet.

It's not a real 9.3M because a lot of those costs would be expended anyway. The council still have to pay their workers, the army still had to be paid etc. It's not an additional 9.3M. It's not 'real' money that could be used to buy houses or anything else.

The same BS figures as "4 billion watching Olympic opening ceremony" "500 million watching eurovision" etc etc.

Some second-rate intern "journalist" takes total expenditure most of which would be spent anyway, multiplies by 5, adds some and publishes it.

Some fools then believe it.

Ever since the queen visited the English market you can't move for tourists. Groups have to book in advance now.

I'd say the traders in Kilkenny are happy enough .

Using the OPs drunken economic costing model the costs have been revised. They are now sitting at close to €10bn which now include the full cost of Dublin airport, all the roads he will use (including complete length of the m50), and the cost of dredging the Liffey. This is set to increase by about €1bn once they get the inflation adjusted coat of Kilkenny castle.

Op if you are hoping that your outrage will lead to a bill being sent to the UK can we get him to visit us here in cork too and we might be able to increase the charge to €20bn, may even be able to add in the new concert hall and Páirc Uí Chaoimh

Of all the Royals, HRH Prince Charles comes across as being a kind considerate & honourable man who is very knowledgeable on many topics, including architecture & the environment. Highly respected in many spheres, a true gent & future King?
