@eddieogara Best of luck tomorrow Eddie, hope you get in.

[Tadhg Daly @DalyTadhg]

@eddieogara @greenparty_ie Fair play Eddie, lots of respect. Best of luck with it.

@kevburkeie Any idea of what's going on at ground floor?

[Tadhg Daly @DalyTadhg]

@LoKapila It was really useful in helping me decide how to order my voting. Many thanks @samtranum

One doesn't preclude the other.

[Tadhg Daly @DalyTadhg]

@kevburkeie Do you think though there is something in this? Like, will Metrolink drain finances, expertise and attention from projects in regional cities?
Throw in the centralised nature of our transport planning + administration.
Eg the sequential delivery of BusConnects is just bonkers.

@Archidub1 @CorkCraneCount Yeah, it's a pity. I'm very fond of them.

[Tadhg Daly @DalyTadhg]

@Archidub1 @CorkCraneCount Seemingly its structural support is spread across all of the vertical beams which are only a few metres apart. Almost like a milk crate.

So you can't create anything like an open floor plan in the way you could with other silo buildings. And so it really can't be repurposed.

@Mikeashworth12 @dematerialise @transitmap @NLIreland @myDublinbus @dublinbusnews That's absolutely fantastic. They'll be a great resource. Thanks for sharing.

@brianmlucey @KieranFeely @brian_caulfield @VillageMagIRE @thejournal_ie @EamonRyan I mean, did you even read the article?

[Tadhg Daly @DalyTadhg]

@KieranFeely @brian_caulfield @VillageMagIRE @thejournal_ie @EamonRyan Drive to where the public transport is, not into town and city centres.

@HanneyDP All seems very aspirational. The original planning permission for the new Port of Cork included a requirement from ABP for a freight rail link but this fell away to be replaced by new M28 (I think on appeal). Would be curious to learn what route was envisaged for that rail link.

@Robcass78 @kevburkeie Development Plans are varied constantly. It's not something controlled by the planning regulator.

But regardless, active travel projects aren't reliant on inclusion in Development Plans. They are reliant on councillor support though.

@EightiesShakes @what_if_cork @CoffeeDoq Fire cert application is separate to planning application. So unfortunately there's something else at play. Haven't looked at the plans mind. Fabulous building in a very suitable location for apartment living.

@McDonnellDan I spent 20 mins walking around the stadium asking everyone and anyone for a spare ticket. Wasn't a sniff.
I was grudgingly happy despite not being able to get in. Slattery's sufficed.

[Tadhg Daly @DalyTadhg]

@rayofoghlu 😀 so do I!

[Tadhg Daly @DalyTadhg]

@rayofoghlu Aaaand Shandon tower has limestone on W+S faces with sandstone on N+E faces as those are the parts of Cork from where the respective stones hail.

@PeterIntheswim @sidclaude @ianmichaelfoley The old ones were awful pvc fake Georgian ones.

[Tadhg Daly @DalyTadhg]

@WeThePeopleEire @OSullivanSeanie @davidmcw That's an absurd article to put forward as a comparison.
Firstly, it's about rural towns in North Wales (comparing apples to oranges) and secondly the only "evidence" it identifies is 1 greengrocers opinion about a potential connection to something that happened 30 yrs ago!
