Ireland continues rolling backwards thanks to FFFG. The mind just boggles. Boggles. Emigration will only continue to rise.
Four months after it was promised, we finally have the government's transport investment plan between now and 2030. It's bad. Roads are in, public transport is out. A lot of public transport projects being put on the long-finger to make funding available for new roads.
