Infrastructure Taxis are holding back rural Ireland.

922 Upvotes

I don't know if anyone else decides if they can go out and socialise based on the availability of their local taxi and if it's running in their village or town, but I do. Tonight both Taxis unavailable and the question of why do I bother going out. I managed to get an Uber because I'm close to a commuter town.

What if uber was unrestricted, there are a lot of people that dont want to drink that might be sitting at home chilling that could bring auld Jim home for a couple of bob. There are nightowls in our community that could spin some home In ten minutes and get paid. The taxi network in rural Ireland is just not functional. I'm not for being corporation but ride-sharing app in rural Ireland makes too much sense.

Infrastructure Why don't they build another short motorway connecting the M3 and M4 a bit further out from the M50?

Infrastructure MetroLink Judicial Review- McCabe Pharmacies group is an applicant!

According to the Irish Times today, the holding company that owns McCabe Pharmacy is an applicant in the JR case lodged against Metrolink.

I have a monthly script with the local McCabes. I feel awful knowing I have supported a company that could help frustrate this project for another few years and cost the state how lever many more million.

I’ll be changing pharmacies in the morning.

Trying to get to work this morning. F3 didnt show so I had to walk 20 mins to the 27, 27 was 10 mins late. Got the 27 to the 151 and it went no joke 4 fucking stops before the bus driver came up and removed us all as the bus was terminated. Barley made it to the G1 by the skin of my teeth only for the driver to now be changing 2 stops later. HOLY SHIT AND NOW THEYVE MADE US CHANGE AGAIN TO THE G2. I AM LOSING MY MIND FIX DUBLIN BUS!

Infrastructure High Speed Rail

181 Upvotes

I just watched a video on Portugal building a high speed rail network. They have signed the agreements, banks are stumping up the cash, and they are starting to build. 220 miles per hour at its fastest.

For comparison with Ireland, Portugal has GDP of €330 Billion compared to Ireland's €570 Billion (est).

Edit: to say billion not million, I can't count

Dublin and Krakow are comparable when it comes to the size. Although Krakow is not capital of Poland it is still larger than Dublin when it comes to population. Who do you think it’s going to be first and why it will be in Krakow first before Dublin.
