    I read on last night’s Echo that a proposed route for the North Ring road is being announced. Does anyone have any details, or better still, a map?

    I think the yellow route was chosen as the preffered route,this is the one furthest from the city which makes the most sense really.

    The other route,not sure what colour it was,came very close to where I live so im happy they chose the most logical option…now when construction will start is another matter entirely!

    who were these people crowing about corks sizeable population , supporting a local airport ?

    You need a single airport for the eastern side of ireland. not two half proper ones plus 3/4 subsidized joke ones.

    Your money would be better spent on decent rail links to and from shannon and much improved bus links.

    What is the point of a cork airport , convenient as it is to kerry and the local industry , if few companies will fly there ?

    Remember a proper rail link to shannon would put it at a 40 minute trip . From dublins point of view that is a stones throw .

    clearly i am wrong . a small airport serving london that is ten minutes away is much much better that a large airport fourty minutes away serving all the destinations that dublin airport does and more .

    Risible.

    I cant see your argument about population size at all.If you were to base an airports viability on population alone then shannon would be the one to close in the morning.

    I also seriously doubt that Shannon serves more destinations than Dublin,and im pretty sure that Cork actually serves more destinations than Shannon but correct me if im wrong

    The work going on at the moment inside the sorting office involves the anchors for the sheet piling thats already in place there.Work finished today on the piling for the small site at the grotto in Blackpool so the large rig should be moving to eglinton street soon id say

    Hi,first post but ive been visiting the site for ages.
    Im not sure if the concrete piles have started yet but i think most of the sheet piling for the basement is in place. Im actually working with HMC for the summer and will find out what is currently being done in there but im not actually in the sorting office myself
