What’s with all the alien themed Red top banner headlines lately? It’s like 90’s era x-files mania.

The Cork Events Centre. A few little snippets in the above report.
– BAM (again)
– Cost increase (again)
– Terms of tender change after original tender (again)
-Ownership would transfer to operating entity (again)
– Public money (again )
In other words, a mini broadband deal.
Thanks blueshirts (again)

Blushirts? It is a Cork City Council job. When this started the council had FF10, SF 8, F 5,Solidarty 3 seats.
But yeah, it’s all the blushirts.
2013 April: Cork City Council invites the private sector to pitch … 2017 September: Cork City Council applies to the Department of Culture for an extra €10m for the project. It is subjected to rigorous legal scrutiny.
Sad to hear about Andrew Weatherall.NTS radio has a lot of his latest shows.’Music is not for everybody’.Indeed
Toe Up
Only the Guardian had a piece about him on the front pages, which is a little disappointing.
I hope 6 Music do some tributes to him this weekend.

Oh dear.A bit of bad news for Repro ” Kung Fu Panda ” O’Bertie-Begorrah and the rest of the united Ireland mob on here.
A poll in today’s Belfast Telegraph concludes less than a third of people in the province would vote for a united Ireland if a border poll was held tomorrow, according to a major study of 2,000 voters.
A total of 29% would support Irish unity but 52% would back remaining in the UK if a referendum was held imminently.
Heh x 32
And wouldn’t it be great if the Paddys overseas were finally given the option to vote
Even if only on a once off like an all island unity Poll
Exiting times ahead for all of us Charage

I’m part of the United Ireland mob now? It’s great that you’re letting me live rent free in your head like this but your obsession is becoming a little concerning. Maybe try a hobby? Kung Fu is a great way to get some exercise and relieve stress and, as it happens, I know a great school.

There’s more chance of Ireland qualifying for a football World Cup than there is of a united Ireland and as you know the chances of that happening are as slim as Bobby Sands on the day he popped his clogs.

Remember how ” racist ” Brexit was driving all the Europeans away as far right droogs stalked the streets of Blighty waiting to jump on anyone who talked funny ?
According to figures out today a record 5.81m non-UK-born people now working in the UK, driven in part by the largest annual increase in EU-born migrants working in the UK in two years, with a lower increase in those from outside the EU.
The number of EU-born people working in the UK rose by 133,000 to 2.44m from Q4 2018 to Q4 2019 — largest yearly rise since Q1 2017. There was also an increase of 25,000 to 3.37m in the number of people born outside the EU employed in the UK.
More Project Fear cobblers exposed as lies.

How not to get sick in Ireland.
The latest trick by hospital management is to keep you in a chair rather than on a trolley in a corridor so you don’t contribute to overnight trolley figures.
This is Third World stuff. https://twitter.com/sarahcatryan/status/1229724456924450816
The compo culture that is killing Irish businesses.
I know of two old-established companies that have folded in the last 12 months because they can’t afford their insurance.
And neither have had a claim against them.
This swimming pool in Tralee has nine – NINE – ongoing live claims against them.
Rest in Peace Andy Weatherall- you absolute LEGEND.
Hard to believe this is from 30 years ago.

Indeed.
RIP.

Yeah.. another sad day.. another loss.. may he RIP (though I seriously doubt it..!!)
Why do you say that? He was a really nice guy by all accounts- never knew he played Horse Meat mind. .
RIP Harry Gregg.
Manchester United goalkeeper who twice went back into the burning plane at the Busby Babes Munich air disaster to rescue people.
Then played for the team just a few days later.
Now THAT is legendary.

Heh. Poor Cian
Who is running the project? Cork City Council? or the government?
Just because Enda Kenny used it as a photo op doesn’t make it a government project.
I think you need to read the piece again. Slowly, this time.
https://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/ireland/state-to-plough-50m-into-stalled-cork-event-centre-project-as-new-funding-deal-announced-973399.html
“State” to plough €50m extra into it. Not CCC. Hence Kenny turning a sod, and Coveneney announcing it before each election. State money. ‘Non repayable grant’
History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce…

I take it you’ve conceded on this one then Cian?
You forgot to add the background, including their very public bias, of the Killarney Based Objector Cian
Tough few weeks huh?

Down to me last chance now with the name calling. I’ve been warned many times.
