    Virtually every street / road in Cork is a mess because of crap reinstatement work by contractors.

    Example - N22 Western Road - most of which was dug up for "drainage" work. Project costing hundreds of millions. Road left in a shambles afterwards. Yet another contractor will have to be paid another hundred million to sort out the mess. If it ever gets done. Meanwhile Irish motorists get 25% less kms per set of tyres than any other motorist group in the EU and most are driving with tracking problems which are a safety risk because of pothole damage to their vehicles.

    The N25 in the Silver Springs Tivoli area was re-surfaced after the Lee Tunnel opened. The road surface is back to a pot hole shambles a few years after the work was done. It is far more cost efficient to stay on top of even minor road damage and this strategy provides a superior service to the customer.

    Yet another version of public waste in Ireland. Not dissimilar to the capital city where it seems to cost almost a billion per km to install a tram...

    Never before has a country had so much money to spend and got so little or nothing in return for it!

    Looks kinda like a Football stadium light stuff really... (and damn I hate sport...!)
    the streer (pavement etc) on the other hand looks pretty neat...

    I ain't from ireland (in case still don't know), what's about northisders, southsiders, and what the Hell is that S on the front???:ninja:

    As far as I can see, there are a number of problems with the lighting:

    1) They are too "square" - there are no rounded edges which can give an otherwise ugly thing a bit of elegance;

    2) There are no trees. Lots of trees and greenery can hide a multitude of sins on a street.

    3) Only a handful of the lighting installations have been put in place. The design is heavily reliant on symmetry.
