All closed railway lines along the island of Ireland North, South, East, West & Midlands are needed.
Never happen 😅
Most people are reluctant to pay the toll on the M3 from Dublin to Navan ever since it opened - the traffic through Dunshaughlin village at rush hour at 4pm is as bad as ever, which I saw for myself when visiting family there from Manchester U.K. in October 2022
All pie in the sky never happen
Ireland never does bug infrastructure projects get the Chinese french germans in
Most large infrastructure projects will require expert input from large international OEMs, expertise etc yes.. trains by alstom, electrical equipment by siemens Hitachi etc. that's really a non point. However we have had the vision and ability to transform Ireland in the past. Look at the electrification of rural Ireland, the Shannon scheme, turlough hill etc. When we have the political will to get things done, we can.
@Mrsparkle331 pie in the sky look at the airport new hospital say no more
Just completely ignoring the actual transport projects that will actually change Ireland such as the Limerick Shannon metropolitan area transport strategy
The text to speech is crap! Why not speak it yourself, ffs?
Huh ?
😂
Location of the stadium is a huge problem. The road to Limerick from Cork is a bothairin and kept as such by the greens. Nobody wants to take on that drive.
It’s a worse road from Waterford. It’s a killer
Connacht increasing the size of the sportsground from 8k to 12k is costing the same as the redevelopment of thomond park back in the day. Its all well and good saying an 18k stadium would have been grand if you have a 50k stadium over the road for any major game you have
The moaners are always with us. The rot started with Parc I Quiv match and commentators jumping on board. Have more games at Thomond Park and pay the debt.
1:00 and yet you always see the Munster fans saying ahh sure our funds and money is grand. Filling out the stadium isn't a problem and so on. 🙄 delusional.
You summed up the situation perfectly
A lot to unpack here. It was need a mistake to eschew the selling of naming rights for the stadium. Perhaps a bigger mistake was building a stadium that is only filled when we play Leinster. Should it have been built in Cork with a bigger population and which has filled Parc Ui Caoimh? Maybe. However Cork supporters be more likely to go and watch the other interpros or matches v Welsh teams. We have only one centrally contracted player because we have not produced the players. Apart from Beirne who was produced by Leinster the only player who could get one is Crowley and that depends on him holding onto the 10 shirt. More puzzling is the pipeline. It relies on far fewer private schools than Leinster have. Apart from fewer players, perhaps there is a coaching issue. We produce 9’s. Casey comes in after Murray, O’Leary and Stringer all of whom played for Ireland. We produce 10’s like Hanrahan and Healy but let them go. We produce back three and back row players. With props we are not as blessed and we have stupidly allowed some good ones to leave. Our biggest weakness is a chronic inability to produce centres like Leinster and Ulster do.
Yous have only 1 central contracted player because the rest aren't up to standard and or haven't done it for long enough. Sure look at Dan Sheehan doing it for years only got a central contract a couple of weeks ago, look at JGP doing it for years and isn't even on 1 yet. The problem with Munster is yous didn't listen when youes were told to change your ways and change up your system. But instead yous kept spending past your means and buying marquee players, instead of producing your own players and not giving your youth a chance. Instead of copying the Leinster system that took over 20 years to build, that Leinster literally went back to grassroots and right down to kids level, and rebuild and redeveloped form bottom to top. They also link up with players in schools and clubs and tell them advice when asked for it andbwhat to work on, they tell the schools and clubs whatvtheyre looking for and what to help build. " which Munster dont do. Theres lots Leinster are doing behind the scenes that Munster aren't doing. Also they done a lot of work building up the fan base, which they still are doing now.
@@jasonwall5012 I do not disagree and do envy that Leinster has a pipeline from well endowed private schools with great facilities which have produced a stream of great players. Munster does not have this but could do more in attracting players from Gaelic football.
@@jasonwall5012 You haven't a clue what you're on about, chief.
The Cork question is the one that always sits in the back of my mind. Especially seeing the crowds that the Cork games attract. Whether its the u20 six nations or the one off games played in Pairc ui Chaoimh. There is an interest there in Cork that doesnt seem to be in Limerick... probably interest that has been eroded by the success of the Limerick Hurlers.
I'm a Corkman and the vast majority of Munster fans know that Limerick generates a larger attendance in general than Cork. When he said that Thomond Park was built in the wrong place it just highlighted his ignorance of the club. His explanation was that Cork is bigger...that's it. Completely ignoring the actual market that exists in both cities in relation to rugby.
@@boru1982you’re telling me that being the only show in town in terms of professional sport in Cork, Irelands 2nd city that will be increasingly prioritised into the mid 21st century as Dublin becomes increasingly unattractive for further development, wouldn’t be preferable strategically than being based in Limerick for sentimental reasons?
Quality analysis
Fineen Whycherley to prop? He’s 6ft 5/6 18 stone. Those dynamics just don’t make any sense whatsoever. If anything he should be made into an out and out blindside flanker. Perfect height and weight for that position in the modern era. Then again look at Tadhg Beirne, he’s around the same height and weight as Whycherley yet he’s probably the best 2nd row in world rugby alongside Etzebeth & S Barrett.
They can’t even build a children’s hospital in time or on budget so I wouldn’t get my hopes up on this
I note how many projects have no timeline and those that do will most probably never happen on time - I suggest you revisit and update this video 10 years from now (i.e. in 2033). We Irish are not the best at planning and even worse at turning plans into reality! Apart from that we're grand! 👍😉
A train connection to Dublin Airport and the city would be amazing. The current bus system is terrible
They need to build the metro ASAP
They should be expanding the railroad access not just a Dublin Papp’s between cork limerick Galway Westport
Appalling pronunciation. Check before publishing please
"No completion time" lol. That's because it takes forever to get things done here in Ireland especially when building infulstructer is concerned
The only thing that gets done is emigration
Dro-gay-da?
Are you just gonna not talk about the Limerick Shannon metropolitan area transport strategy, I can't imagine that will be cheap
Thank God dreams are free in Ireland if they weren't I'd be broke. That's all this is is dreams which at some point in the distant future will come true by a future civilization.
We Irish suffer from the diseases of entitlement at the expense of others and, despite not being bovine herbivores, excessive excretion of BULLSHIT.
I’ll believe it when I see it - we wasted so much EU funds on motorways that people won’t use because of tolls, yet we closed down so many railways in the 1960’s that we now find need to be rebuilt and we don’t even have any truly high-speed rail lines in Ireland, let alone the high speed rail tunnel link to Holyhead - we don’t even have DART or LUAS to the Irish Ferries/Stena Passenger Terminals in North Wall and we have poorly designed bridges that don’t raise to allow ferries to travel further upstream, nor has enough money been spent on widening and deepening the Liffey Channel to allow bigger ships to berth nearer the Custom House
Planning in this country is a joke! The richest contry in EU my arse!
Where is Mohon and Nayvin? We are great at planning projects in Ireland but very poor at building them. The metrolink has been talked about for 30 years 300 million has been spent so far and not a single track has been laid.
M20 is a waste. Purpose is to get traffic to Ringaskiddy and makes more sense to build M24 as it would join existing motorway network. This saves billions as there would be no need for North ring around Cork to get traffic from Blackpool to Dunkettle. M24 also opens up the Southeast to the West
stupid comment you obviously never use the N20
I have traveled both N20 and N24 each very poor. Motorways on both…folly for all funding to be for the east.
It's only when you travel in Europe, you see just how far we are behind in infrastructure, cities half the size of Dublin with undergrounds, motorways and rail linking major cities, nothing gets done in this country until everyone gets their share.
Even if these projects are completed in 15 years time Dublin will still be way behind cities with similar populations like Vienna and Stockholm.
This is actually a great video highlighting the incompetence of the Irish Government - a woke green coalition that only knows how to do unfrastructure - yes, I meant un....
I'm sick hearing of this 'active travel' BS - just get the bloody roads done!
No completion dates for any road project. Thanks green's for silently canceling all these without the guts to announce it. where am I going to drive my electric car? Oh Yeah the greens would prefer I sit at home in the dark or better still find some way to not exist. Listen I believe in global warming and its existential threat but we need high tech solutions that require new things like roads and rail and infrastructure. The greens only seem to believe in no-tech solutions. That will never work. It is impossible to make people go backwards and stop things they can currently do. Don't vote green! hassle the regular parties about sustainability Ask them where the bio-gas plants are, where is our tidal infrastructure.
...and currently have no timeline for completion" Yep they do. 2100
In other words, never
They wont even give funding to upgrade the country lane that connects the largest 2 cities in thw west to north west.
All the woke green politicians and officials need to be booted out first!
Whatever....whenever
Really need a good rail service between Conolly Monaghan Omagh Strabane and Derry City following the N2 A5.
How about railways that are actually needed! Dublin's DART Interconnector, Luas Green Line to Finglas, Cork Light Rail etc. etc. etc.
Monaghan, Armagh, Clones, Cavan, Omagh and Strabane could certainly do with a railway revival. There should also be lines to Donegal and the Dingle bay.
Pathetic and embarrassing.
Why so much road traffic projects in a country that definitely lack of a good railway network? more roads lead to more cars and to a chaos in the cities. It would be better to reactivate some disused rail links that most people won't need a car anymore for most of their journeys.
Over half the projects are rail projects. Most of the road projects will move intercity traffic off local roads, helping those communities immeasurably. If you’ve ever been on the N20 between Cork and Limerick, you’d have seen now the traffic divides towns now.
Imagine Communism! There's nothing wrong with cars!
it doesnt work that way.
@@johndevine2868 between Limerick and Cork, there are only 10-12 daily train connections and not a single one without changing trains at Limerick junction. Why not improve intercity train services so that most people needn't to use their car when travellung between cities. In that way no additional highways are needed - just some improvements in train traffic. What about electrification?
The Cork Limerick road needs urgent remediation. It is very poor with section unaltered since 1920…little better than a dirt track.
All costs in this are imaginary as construction inflation is running above 10% a year and timelines aren’t available as the process takes so long. Also priority order gets rejigged by government periodically. The N24 project is listed incorrectly as in fact it will be more like 140 km.
For transport projects we're generally pretty good these days. We made a lot of mistakes in the 80 & 90s but we're actually pretty accurate in budgeting these days. (Inflation aside) Healthcare on the other hand...
Mojito man! I think I remember that from when I visited in 2013. Is it still a little stall with a bench outside making cheap, strong and delicious mojitos in plastic tumblrs?
No it became an actual bar for a few years before eventually disappearing 😢
sort of intense and calm at once. interesting.
Thanks brother. I went there to meet Yan Hong, she had no phone. I wandered around like na idiot for two hours and then I met her. It was a great time
