BREAKING NEWS –
Recent speculation as to the construction of an under Atlantic railway are incorrect. The project, which has secured EU funding, is under direction of the Irish authorities and has been changed from a rail-based system to a 4-lane road tunnel, linking the UK to the US via Ireland.
Irish Government sources are quoted as saying that a “road would be far superior to a rail-based system, and would help to relieve existing bottle-necks in trans-Atlantic traffic”. The Irish road building authorities are proposing that 17 tolls would be placed on the route, which runs beneath the sea. The NRA also denies that there was any other option except to route the road through Atlantis, which they say is in any case more effected by butterflies in S.E. Asia – than the impact that this critical piece of infrastructure will have. However critics have noted that real-estate along the route is now being proposed for rezoning – particularly adjacent to the mid-Atlantic Ridge. Separately industry sources point out that if called upon, Irish builders have “great experience” at building in flood-plains. They deny that this is a sub-standard project, pointing out that “Ireland is thriving with projects such as this, as it is a gerrymandered republic being run by gerry-build developers”. The source also described the accusation of tunnel-vision as “ludicrous”.
Sorry folks, couldn’t resist it :p
