Probably stretched to the limit working too many hours with an unreasonable workload

Unbelievable.  £9 million of public money to "save" a profitable fight route.

Yeah that's the sort of f**k wits running the place. Basically paying a private firm a bonus to run a profitable route. Where else would you get it ?

A senior civil servant advised against it but I think they are more interested in photo ops than doing what is best

People re-considering giving trade or commerce to companies due to their domain address. ie .co.uk.

Maybe I am missing something but that article makes no reference to the route being profitable. The fact that was going to be cut suggests it isn't. While there is a £9mn cost, there is no mention of what it brings to the local economy. I wouldn't have a clue on this side of things but without that figure I don't think you can draw any sound conclusions as to whether is good expense or bad.

The Phoenix Park. The ice cream van that pulls up at the Papal Cross.

Not if people are prepared to go to Dublin but it's reasonably busy any time I am on it.

I know the answer to this, but did you know it was €4 before you ordered it?!
