Not very much more though. The rest of Ireland will be suitable for weekend breaks for the lads.

The rest of Ireland is the real Ireland. Dublin is a stain!

The snobbery of the Dubs is hilarious! They think their crime riddled city is the be all and end all. They never set foot in real Ireland!

Is that why so many people from the country move to Dublin?:(

As far as I'm aware Dublin is in Ireland, even real Ireland, despite your snobbish claims. :rolleyes:

Give the IDA a call, not sure if they have tried that strategy yet, they might be interested

Well that's great! Dublin becomes and even more over inflated mess while the rest of Ireland remains neglected!

Don't be angry at me because I won't give you a euro.

Cork and Limerick, while fine cities and a good location for any firm, need some serious infrastructure updates, including a light rail system for shuttling punters quickly and efficiently between the CBDs and 'burbs, before it's within an ass's roar of World cities like London, Berlin, NYC, and so forth.

The IDA really need to encourage these firms outside Dublin.
BNYM are in Cork, Towers Watson too.
Northern Trust are in Limerick.

How Ironic. A fair chunk of every Euro the lads from JP Morgan bring here will go towards paying for your lifestyle, which is completely unsustainable if you attempted to fund it yourselves. Which of course you dont.

The bitter culchies is a funny animal, its take, take, take and then complain they arent getting enough. The sense of entitlement is breathtaking.

So your argument could be used to force people to stay in their towns and setup their own businesses to stop jobs going to dublin. Unless they are willing to work outside dublin they can't have a job? Like unless companies are willing to setup outside dublin they cant employ people or have a business yeah?

Its an interesting take on socialism ill give you that

Plenty of housing in the pipeline - they just need to build it.

Old Irish Glass site will have almost 4000 housing units, Cherrywood will have over 8,000 when it completed (work has started)

Other sites in Dublin with planning or started already have capacity of over 15,000 units.

Add over 7,000 student housing units that will come on stream within 2 years and you have a big dent in the issue, but until the 40,000 housing units are delivered there will be problems.

Yet it's the Dubs here saying let's build up Dublin even more before we even think about the rest of the state.

I'll try and think of the logical fallacy there.

Only on Boards could the possibility of an extra 500-1000 high end jobs and all of the additional spin off jobs that go with that be viewed as bad news.

Fair enough, we need more infrastructure. Can anyone spot where we might get some more money to fund this infrastructure might come from???

If a private company wants to purchase a building and setup shop there (which is weird because they usually Lease), I'm sure they'll only do so after assessing their requirements and judging the capability of that building/location to fulfill them.

If you wish to insinuate JP Morgan is neglecting the rest of Ireland, ask'em what they were looking for and how other cities can be improved to attract their type of business. So the next time another crowd come in (and we're banking that they will) the business can be spread around the country.

You understand more jobs in dublin means more jobs everywhere else?

Where do you think the food to feed dublin comes from as one very obvious example? The more people who live there the more food required from the rest of the country

Large firms with hundreds of employees pay lots of lovely tax, corporate and income. This money goes into a centralised fund which is then used to pay for all sorts of things like social welfare, healthcare facilities, various public works, and so on and so forth. The latter are located all over the country. Now, pursuing a misguided policy of trying to shunt the likes of JP Morgan over to Mullingar or Two-Mile-Borris would have the effect of severely throttling this revenue stream because, well - no-one in their right mind wants to be within fifty miles of these places. So, x% of lots > x% of fuck-all times fuck-all times fuck-all. Are you with me? :pac:

what Ireland needs to do is to build decent access to the regions.

Companies like JP Morgan, Google etc. want to employ top end graduates, who want a luxury high end lifestyle, which basically means the type of people who want to live in bustling cities.

They would be quite happy to build an office in Athlone, if it meant people could commute there quickly and easily from Dublin.

Or to put it another way, Ireland needs decent high speed rail, but it wont get it, because if they built a high speed rail network, every two horse town would want the high speed trains to stop there, TDs would insist that their town got a look in and it would get lost in public enquiries, consultation and planning investigations for twenty years.

a six mile train from the city centre to the airport is a fine example.

Of course they'll head to Cork and Galway and to the likes of Dingle and Kinsale.

They wont be going to Leitrim or Sligo though. Those are utter kips.
