Okay I'm calling it. Here's my plan to solve Ireland's housing crisis. Point 1: completely rebuild our planning system similar to Japan. youtu.be/iGbC5j4pG9w?fe… youtu.be/geex7KY3S7c?fe…
And it made sense as the economic benefit was huge. Same for HS2 if they could fix their procurement, planning and NIMBYism and get it built for a fair price.
In 1846, the peak year of the Railway Mania, Parliament mandated 9500 miles of railways. HS2 is 140 miles. Imagine a country with less than a tenth of our GDP mandating 67 HS2s in a single year, and one begins to have a sense of what sort of people the Victorians were.
Car centric America is insane. Whatever about leaving a 10 year old do his own thing (no sane person would have a problem with that), the solution seems to be that his mother has to drive him everywhere.

Hypocritical NIMBY politician. Well I never...

Public transport signage should be abundant and clear and designed so the system and navigation is easily understood by a person using it for the first time.
At Dart station in Sandymount just now; visitor to Dublin asks me which side of the line for city centre? Good question too, as there’re no signage whatever at DART stations, 40 years later, to give simple directions like this. Cmon @IrishRail, this isn’t asking much.
When English-speaking railfan communities talk about Japanese trains:
It's time to get tram networks up and running in Galway, Cork, and Limerick + significantly extend the tram network in Dublin. Not in 2040 or 2050, but this decade. We need to get going!
Thinking about how the French town of Besançon (population: 120,000) has the same number of tram lines as Ireland (population: 5,262,000) ✨

Rent freezes sound good but kill property markets and further discourage construction lending to an even more pronounced death spiral. No surprise Rory Hearne is involved in this economically illiterate nonsense.
The @SocDems today launched our Renters' Charter. It is a radical reset of housing policy to give renters protection, real security of tenure and rents that are affordable. @RoisinShortall @RoryHearneGaffs @Eoin_Hayes socialdemocrats.ie/soc-dems-publi…
The best thing you could say about this is that it's an election promise to buy votes and won't actually be implemented (we can only hope).
Analysts say Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil election pledges to first-time buyers would push prices up jrnl.ie/6539364t
This is a fantastic video from Not Just Bikes on not just the potential dystopian future nightmare of self-driving cars but also how dystopian car centric cities we currently live in came about though industry lobbying. A warning from history. youtu.be/040ejWnFkj0?fe…
This is far more important than the whole teacher controversy. This is a stupid idea and an enormous waste. This is what should be trending.
🚨 SUNDAY TIMES🚨 💥 Fine Gael pledges €10bn of Apple money to housing and big expansion of Help to Buy 💥 Sinn Fein promises second Garda college and 16k-strong force 💥More anti-Micheál briefing from FG as Fianna Fáil to give NTMA responsibility for infrastructure #ge24
This seems like the type of faux outrage that only people in certain bubbles care about. There does appear to be too many teachers in politics. It's weird. That's not an attack on the public sector or working class.
Micheal O'Leary's comments about teachers are insulting and fail to reflect the enormous contribution they have made to Irish society, economy and enterprise. The high quality of teaching has transformed this country. We owe teachers, who work so well in our schools, a lot.
Over 30 a day. Is that good/bad/better/worse? Anecdotally I've seen a women ask her boyfriend what drink he wanted from a city centre Centra, take it and walk out and the staff did nothing even though they saw. Minimum wage workers stopped caring or reporting.
More than 12,000 people arrested in Dublin city centre so far this year buff.ly/40DlqJp

Imagine spending millions €€€€ redeveloping a prime river-facing site and still creating dedicated space along the riverfront to provide subsidised car parking for 2 euros an hour. Such a waste
🚧 MORRISON'S ISLAND UPDATE🚧 Father Mathew Quay will be closed to public traffic from its junction with Parliament Bridge to its junction with Father Mathew Street from Monday 11 November 2024 until Tuesday 11 November 2025 to enable works on the second phase of the Morrison’s…
It's a sign of how broken planning and infrastructure investment is in this country is.
Whatever you think about air travel, it’s still bonkers that either a local authority or a court should be determining the passenger numbers in the main international airport in a country.
Does Dublin need a new airport? If they built it on an existing rail line they might get a train to it before Dublin Airport!
The number of passenger seats on aircraft using Dublin Airport next summer will not now be cut, after the High Court granted a stay on a decision by the aviation regulator to cap the number of take-off and landing slots during the busy peak season rte.ie/news/business/…
