yep, most of those things were already announced or are already happening, shows Cork getting nothing from FF for next 7 years, what they missed out on was
1. Project team for pre planning and fast tracking of docklands
2. Tram or massive increase in bus frequency from pivotal points like ballincollig, douglas, Ballyvolane, Glanmire, Passage, carrigaline (current service here about 1 an hour and thats on peak times on saturdays)
3. The N28 road has been announced numerous times and as per presentation to the carrigaline area committee recently, wont start at the least until 2009 if all goes well and wouldnt finsh therefore until 2011 – thats 5 years more waiting in the most car dependant town in Ireland
4. Announcement on how the govt intend to pay for the debt they promised to take over re cork airport
5. Funding to change kent Station towards the quays
6. Broadband mentioned a lot, big dependance on the Metropolitan Area Networks being finished, some not even started yet
7. Bus funding for nightlinks
8. Project team and funding for redevelopment of Pairc Ui Caoimh into multi sport 35-50,000 seater stadiumand many more
Well soon they will be calling at our doors looking for votes – mention any of the above and get the usual bewildering answer from our esteemed representatives.
