Re: Re: The destruction of St. Stephen’s Green

In my humble opinion, the ‘R word’ that I will not say aloud is 90% hype. Continually talking about how dreary things are can only make the situation worse. I must say I dissaprove of PVC’s stance of give in to the recession, throw in the towel and let our young talent emigrate. At least building infrastucture projects is doing something positive even if it’s not profitable right away, it will provide some economic dividends. Better to build the metro, create employment, cut carbon emmisions, collect income tax revenue from that employment and enjoy the lasting impact of good public transport, rather then spend the money getting private businessmen out of debt
