Quote from: WeeDonns on March 06, 2024, 01:03:00 PMIt has probably been answered on here before – but what was the reasoning that it couldn't go ahead in 3 separate sections?

I doubt if it could be properly answered, there was never any need to do it all in one go. Roads all over the country were improved in sections.
The problem was that the Irish government promised money and then got hit by the crash . The North doesn't have the budget for this project. Things then got held up in the courts. Then Stormont collapsed. You couldn't make it up. And people are still dying

There has been a concentrated effort by one section of the community to make sure this road is never built.


Fenian road in Orange land. That's how they see it.

I just find that completely mental. Surely compulsory purchase orders can be used in this scenario. This is what your land is worth. End of conversation!

Another bad smash. O'Dowd needs to get the finger out and get the Omagh - Ballygawley stretch built asap

Quote from: marty34 on March 02, 2024, 07:15:15 AMHow can it go from £80m to over £300m in a few years?

That's mad Ted.

It's only a 30, 000 seater stadium.  Imagine if it was 60 000.

Begs the question, how much would a 20, 000 seater cost to build?



Well Spurs stadium is 60k and it cost over a billion!! Not saying this is similar spec but gives you an idea.

Can anyone have a guess at what the UEFA requirements would be that would cause a further price hike? Think in Dunedin, New Zealand they built an all seater covered stadium for 100 odd million. That would be my aim if I was to start this charade over again

Very hard to judge. Sexton was a late developer for sure. That probably helped him play on for so long! I just have a lingering fear Crowley hasn't the steely kicking ability to guide us beyond a WC 1/4 final. Longer term he's maybe a 12? Inside centre could be an issue in the next couple of years although Gavin in the U20s looks very good.

I also think we have a generational talent coming along in Sam Prendergast and no doubt the Munster led media will be pushing for Jack to stay in the 10 role as long as possible!

Quote from: Walter Cronc on February 24, 2024, 11:56:41 AMWould Ulster GAA accept if it became a municipal stadium (for all sports/events) or is that a non runner? Profits dished out on a percentage basis?
That was the best option. And as it was for all 3, it'd have long been built as DUP/TUV wouldn't object etc. However it was turned down by others, Windsor and Ravenhill got their money and got their upgrades. That's what sticks in the craw here. they got theirs, but want to stop this further. Municipal stadium is no longer an option now. Casement is now the only option on the table

Aw I know that and in fairness to Ulster Rugby I think they were open to a municipal stadium. Those IFA cretins and their vermin support were the issue.

I mean regarding this build. If they didn't have full ownership as such. To get it over the line. Maybe similar to what's happening in Cork. Would that be palatable? All profits say from GAA but other events given to government etc.

Maybe he'll ask his little zionist buddy Robbie to hand back the wages the FAI paid him despite his tenure being up with the national team. Real legend alright!

Quote from: marty34 on February 20, 2024, 05:56:13 PMWee Jeff seriously annoyed that this is happening. He's luke warm that it's happening, obviously can't refuse it but it's through gritted teeth.

I see some farmer on that A5 road annoyed that he's losing land. He was probably one of the lads who was holding it up. Sew it into him as some many unecessary deaths on that road recently because of these reviews etc.

For unionists, it must be this on one day and on the same day, the Brits looking for the wee 6 to raise more money.

Yip he is Hamilton Hassard part of the Alternative A5 Alliance who have been against the upgrade from the word go.

That a**hole shouldn't be given one second of airtime. Countless young lives wasted cos a bigoted tr**p like him doesn't want to see a road connecting Derry n Dublin. Going on about high quality agricultural land. It's not County Meath you headbanger!

Anyone any recent experience/advice of building an extension? Is using an off site company (build & crane into position) usually very costly?

Not sure if I want the hassle of sorting tradesmen myself but costs will likely determine that.

Irish govt to commit 400 million. Has the executive any idea of what is available? Surely theres data on the accident black spots - assume Ballygawley to Omagh stretch? Spend the money on those sections first!

Quote from: lurganblue on February 16, 2024, 06:22:46 PMI had been disappointed in Masters of the Air. Certainly not on Band of Brothers or Pacific levels. The latest episode was really good though. Hopefully that trend continues

+1 very disappointed so far. Nothing will ever touch Band of Brothers for me. Greatest series of all.
