The toilets looked like they had been rocketed by ISIS
ISHITS?
:D
Sure where else could you experience time travel back to the 1970s?
Trading a smartphone for a bus ride was a bit steep.
Glad they stopped that.

‘Tis almost farcical how slow govt departments/agencies & semi-states are to embrace new technology & change in general.
The IDA & some govt ministers love the idea that we are (or at least, are becoming) an internet/IT hub but the rest of the system really doesn’t play ball at all. You can see it in how the Revenue decision around Air BnB was arrived at & how none of the politicians seemingly had considered the issue.
If we really want to maintain/improve our position we need to do a bit more than keep our corporate tax low and wait for Americans with Irish surnames to come & show us how it is done. Our competitiors in the UK have been making great strides on those businesses, inlcuding on tax and providing a welcoming environment for such businesses (The Tories only love Air BnB, Uber, etc.). They have made a big point of improving the govt’s approach to dealing with the public via the internet (gov.co.uk).
I hear ya….
A friend was recently on the dole for about two months. All the paper work got messed up because as one women at the welfare office said, or there abouts… ” 85% of the people in here wont use the new systems, not because they can’t, they just won’t, and its whats causing problems with your claim……. “
To be fair, whenever any government gets involved in tech projects, it’s usually a disaster.
Them not leaping into it like the e-voting is a small blessing I think.
Didn’t they have a sign saying pretty much the same thing up AGES ago….like 6 months/ a year ago….!? Why can’t they just hire the crew who make having a visit to the restrooms in Connolly across the way a really quite pleasant experience.
They must be knocking the whole thing down.
The toilets are getting a complete overhaul from what I heard.
Will they be keeping the fetching anti-heroin blue light?
In Andrews Street post office the other day – one of the main An-Post-run offices rather than a sub-post-office run by a postmaster – you could pay for stamps with a debit card, but not a credit card, but if you bought an envelope you had to pay for that in cash. #Headddesk
That station is a national embarrassment….. Don’t get me started on the desperate souls outside smoking cigarettes ….. its an ugly sight
Are they going to reopen the cinema and theatre in Busaras too? Always wanted a poke around there.
