@Michael_O_B In fairness to Verona, it does look like what they're doing is technically allowed. It shouldn't be and it's wrong but if they're not technically breaking a rule I don't see it as up to her to rectify.
an insane side effect of current war discourses is slowly normalising the idea that it’s expected for countries to have a hard geographical border between ordinary people and the the state. imagine if the phone of anyone who worked in eg these two buildings suddenly blew up

@Nenaghman Fair enough. What about your lack of trust in IPAS makes you think that site is unsuitable? What do you think they'll do that will have a negative impact? Are you worried they'll evict tenants like you mentioned happening in Borrisokane?
@Nenaghman That estate is huge. A handful of additional units will make no noticeable difference to the traffic and not something I noticed you having a problem with before now. Is the problem with IPAS as an organisation or with the people they house?
@Nenaghman That's awful that those people have been served eviction notices. Do you know why they did it? Is it just to free up the accommodation for new tenants?
@Nenaghman To be honest I'm not really sure what you mean by the trust is lost or taking people for granted. Nenagh seems to me a particularly good town for an IPAS centre given schools, transport, jobs, etc. Isn't it a good thing to use land lying idle to help those needing accommodation?
@OConnorOisin It's really more accurate to say 77% fossil fuel vehicles. Self charging hybrids derive all their energy from fossil fuels. They're efficient but they're still petrol fueled vehicles.
