Re: Re: well what about the developments popping up in the shannonside ?

asdasd, Forgive me if I’m wrong, but I’ve never heard of Kilkenny being called a city. And new cities are created almost every year in the UK, if they don’t have a charter, it’s simple, the Queen gives a new city it’s charter, just becasue the charter isn’t hundreds of years old doesn’t mean that it is invalid (e.g. Wolverhampton). Also, I think going by cathedrals is too old fashioned for todays society, Cloyne, a villiage with less then a 1000 people has a cathedral but I wouldn’t call it a city. Anyway, getting away from that, has the Shannon rail link been given the go-ahead or is it in planning stages? It ‘s such exciting news, and it will beat Dublin to the punch of having a airport-city rail link.
