They could get them to stay with the local entrepreneures and charge them €5000 for the couple of days......All going towards the fund for out of work property tycoons, to keep them in the life to which they had become accustomed.<br />Shure it's only fair?!<br />As for tolling the roads already paid for by the EU? Tis shure begorrah.........The concept of "already paid for" may stick in Irish tax payers minds someday.Dakotanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829381583204750928.post-55004831939695862712011-08-23T12:54:31.164+01:002011-08-23T12:54:31.164+01:00If you are making a collection my favourite one is...If you are making a collection my favourite one is the bridge to nowhere in East London<br /><br />Built back in the last 80s and still going nowhere!<br /><br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/60719586@N00/2288918425<br /><br />On Google http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?daddr=51.511246,0.071787&hl=en&ll=51.510861,0.070985&spn=0.000003,0.003449&sll=51.511173,0.071663&sspn=0.003475,0.003449&vpsrc=6&mra=mift&mrsp=1&sz=18&t=h&z=18&layer=c&cbll=51.510861,0.070985&panoid=DtA1R9qiFS7eeShiDET8ZA&cbp=12,55.28,,0,14.56Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829381583204750928.post-45909773924170858542011-08-22T23:27:38.180+01:002011-08-22T23:27:38.180+01:0010 years... bloody hell.

Now that really IS the road to nowhere.<br /><br />The one above in the blog post can be laid firmly at the door of the Irish Government and their property based tax shelters and incentives. <br /><br />Ironically, EU interference (I'm very much in favour of the EU) contributed 2bn for Irish infrastructural projects between 1993-2003: including the M50 and the M1. Not that our Government has a problem tolling them too... the shites.The Gombeen Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05024662128072120489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829381583204750928.post-9338838529835260322011-08-22T18:45:59.523+01:002011-08-22T18:45:59.523+01:00Ireland is not on it's own.

On the main road leading into the beautiful town of Arundel, West Sussex, the dual carriageway come to an abrupt end by a bank of earth and piles of materials used for road building. It has been like that for 10 years or more, while the through traffic into the town regularly comes to a stop. This can only have come about by local council, govenment officials, or interference from the EU. These are the people who really waste our money and walk away scot free.albert hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04019455243527561400noreply@blogger.com
