Ministers from Northern Ireland and the Republic have agreed to spend £400m on cross-border road projects.
The news of the joint investment came after a meeting of the North-South Ministerial Council in Armagh.
Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said the road from Omagh to Donegal and the route from Belfast to Larne would become dual carriageways.
And before someone gets on to this, Dublin is one of few counties in the South that actually produces a surplus of tax over expenditure. No doubt the people of Tyrone will be at least as grateful as those in Larne.

Will you be able to tell who built which parts ? Will certain parts of the road be full of potholes and 3 lines going into one with no signage? :P

Ive been saying if for years lads, Connacht/Connaught starts to process of leaving the Republic, suddenly the 85 years past of development in the West might start or the 35 years or so of EU money that was meant for us, we might eventually see. At least by tricking Brussels into thinking it was for the West & Border, we got to use it to build some lovely condos in the IFSC, the Gasworks in Dublin & some nice coffee & wine bars in Ranelagh.

I aint taking the piss, there are f**k all dual carrigeways for a considerable distance or moterways. the Dublin to Derry Road is shite once you cross the boarded and the Road to Belfast is the same but they seem to be doing some up there about that one.

I got my degree & postgrad in the West, had to move to Dublin because thats where the Government insists on focusing development, after 5 years there, I got an opportunity to move West, damn glad I did.
I think if anyone bothered their arse to see where the EU designated all its billions too, it was the West, but if you did an Audit on Ireland Inc. you would find it went to the East. I really think the EU should sue Ireland for circa €50 Billion.

At the end of the day Fishead is most likely came down to a simple cost benefit . Spend 10 million on a road in the east and improve the lifes of up 1.5 million people . Spend 10 million in the west 250,000 would properly be the most you'd improve

What's "Whest" ???
Anyway 6 or 7 billion on light railways/metros or whatever in Dublin - noproblem seems the dearer the better.
Then when a group presented plans to the Govt about reopening the Western Rail corridor from Sligo to Limerick at a cost of €250 m. the then Minister (Brennan - a herrin choker -shame !!!) nearly laughed in their faces and muttered something about maybe a commuter service into Galway City.
Are the Western posters denying that Dublin is in fact subsidising the West? State expenditure in Mayo exceeds State revenue from Mayo in Dublin it is the other way around.
QuoteWestern Rail corridor from Sligo to Limerick at a cost of €250 m
How many people will travel on this, or at least the part north of Tuam? Will you? This is one of those "good things" that nobody has any intention of using. On the other hand you there is hardly standing room on the Luas.
Every journey on Dublin's DART trains is subsidised to the tune of an average €1.00 per trip.
Dublin Bus serving 1.3m people gets €81m subsidy. Bus Eireann serving 3.1 m and having many more uneconomic routes gets €30m.
Who is subsidising who?
My sister lives in a town in Co Kildare. The people have to hire contractors at their own expense to cut the grass on the greens.
A few miles up the road in Dublin the local Council cuts all the Greens in Estates FREE.
Yet tax rates are the same in all 26 Counties.
Knock Airport was knocked (sorry !!!) when it was proposed as I'm sure Shannon was too but wasnt it right to go ahead wih them?
A Western Rail corridor would be a boon to Tourism,commerce -save a lot of roads, and would enable a lot of small towns along the route to become more attractive to investment and potential residents.
But of course it would be easier to close up the oul West altogether and have an Interpretive Centre in Athlone.
Meanwhile everyone could live in Tower Blocks in Dublin/Cork/Galway and 5 or 6 other places and the Govt could save a fortune.

We pay water, bin & utility rates, Dublin does not.
Connacht & Munster has nearly all of Irelands mineral resources.
Connacht & Munster provide the highest number of graduates and a high percentage of the trades in the Republic, so therefore we provide the brains of the Irish economy and up to recently the brawn (now mostly Eastern Europe).
If you take money specifically regionaly allocated by the EU/EC/ECC since the 1970's to Ireland being used in the East when allocated to the West of the Shannon & the border Region, we have in fact being susidising the East
Also to
Gnevin he states the whole population of Leinster against his perceived population of West of the Shannon "At the end of the day Fishead is most likely came down to a simple cost benefit . Spend 10 million on a road in the east and improve the lifes of up 1.5 million people . Spend 10 million in the west 250,000 would properly be the most you'd improve"
Sorry to break an illusions you may have but the poplulation of County Galway & Leitrim combined is about 250,000, thats before you count Mayo with about 120,000, Clare with 130,000, & Roscommon & Sligo which I'm unsure of. The Western Corridor would also befit people in the Bundoran/Ballyhannon area of Donegal, Longford, Westmeath, Western Offally, North Tipperary & County Limerick.
Sorry if all these people do not count to the Irish Government.
Also the projects the people of the West want implemented are a fraction of the Cost as money spend in the East.
All the money wasted on the Bertie Bowl would have us a good part of the way there.
Also its important before the Country falls into the Irish Sea.
This is the Republic of Ireland not the City State of Dublin.

Which projects were allocated to the West of the country where the money was spent in the East? Surely the EU would require it to be spent on the project it was allocated for.

This line was closed because nobody used it.Will more people use it now, when car ownership is much higher, than did when it was closed?
It is not the West but places like Donegal and Monaghan that have been starved of government intervention.
i don't use public transport so once they keep building roads i'l be happy!

It's getting far too po-faced around here. Every second poster now is a policeman, a censor or a judge.
Just for the record, then - it was a joke. (Remember those?).
(By the way, I have no idea what a "free-stater" is in the year 2007 and in the era of power-sharing. This is the era of the political dispensation whereby the people of all Ireland have pronounced and mandated that the current constitutional arrangement is the one they want, unless and until the people of the separate parts of Ireland decide otherwise. Like it or not, 90+% of us (including those on both sides who fought a 30-year armed campaign against it, from their separate perspectives) have decided that. So I think the concept of "free-stater" is something of an anachronism).

Gnevin the only time I ever heard a person from the West pronounce it like that is when they where doing it to slag Dubs (being sarcastic) because in normal day to day the WEST is how we pronounce it. Also the first time I heard MAYO called MAY-YO was by Dubs when I moved to Dublin, I really did not get where they get that from, unless its what they think we are saying when there is 40,000 of us cheering our team in unison to victory over Dublin yet again. Also 90% of us say Galway not Gyall-wey. Dublin peoples West of the Shannon accent is as bizarre and off the mark as American tvs Irish Accent.

Yep Tankie thats right , we are so smart in the west that when we are 18 we have our degrees. What age were you when you got your degree?
Lads I must say you boys in the West are some men to complain – fair play to you atleast you know things must change while down in Wexford we've twiddled our thumbs as our standard of living has plummeted in relation to the rest of the country. We've massive unemployment, huge underinvestment, we're 2 hours from Dublin, home to one of the biggest and closest ports to Europe and yet we've been ignored while industries have been induced to locate in other part of the country. We're being reduced to a commuter county and holiday home destination. The worst part is unlike in the West I don't hear any outcry at home – we just seem to accept the situation.
The reality is I suppose that we can't attract industry to every town in Ireland and that some areas will be better off then others – maybe its better that we only have to go to Dublin rather then New York or London. Big companies look for certain things when setting up and big cities are usually more attractive.
Anyway the point of my post is that lumping the whole East together as one amorphous area is unhelpful and untrue – you've Dublin and the rest of Ireland in my opinion – we should look for a fairer spread but should be cautious about killing the golden goose.

Ha ha a Cavanman used say that very same thing to me all through college in Galway, just replace Wexford with Cavan.
You see Scalder over here in Connacht/Clare there is an almost Islander (like Ireland seperate from Britian) attitude we almost totally surrounded by waster, the Atlantic, Shannon, Shannon Estury & a cluster of Mountains & Mountain Ranges up at the very top between the start of the Shannon & Donegal Bay. It creates a unique collective Identity (very usefull for collective Moaning :D )
Fishhead – I see parallels with Cavan in terms of our GAA teams – great in the past – still obsessed with the games but living on past glories!
Wexford is/was a very isolated county for the reasons you've mentioned the West is – we've the Wicklow and Blackstairs mountains to the north and west, the river barrow up to the south west and the Atlantic and Irish sea on the south and east coasts – other than by sea we were hugely isolated from the rest of Ireland until the coming of the railways!
