  1. They've woken up and smelled the coffee.
  2. Probably seemed like a good idea at the time...
  3. Why on earth did they even bother breaking out the brushes and paint when it was as good as dead? And moreover why the ancient and probably uncomfortable as hell 4 wheelers?
  4. Scalpers, they would be called in the match and concert ticket scene.
  5. Ireland in a nutshell. All rules, rarely if ever enforced. Heaps of NLI and indeed O'Dea images all over social media. Not aware of the NLI sending out cease and desist letters or legal teams over it.
  6. A great many have been removed, or more likely, stolen. Probably a long time since councils ceased bothering to maintain them, it's up to locals who might care about them now.
  7. Like talk about how people say they love Irish and wanting to learn it when they have no intention of doing so. Real genuine interest is probably the "secret sauce" we lack.
  8. I've always wondered about countries you wouldn't think would have an affinity with railways like the English do, having loads of restored and static old locos and railway museums. The Scandi, as mentioned, and Iberian countries come to mind. They were as poor as Ireland was at one time.
  9. Strange behaviour from CIE/IE, giving with one hand and taking away with the other.
  10. The wealthy and tax exiles here tend to put their spare money into making more money (property and horses being two Irish obsessions) or donating to sports of interest to them, favourites being GAA and golf.
  11. Irish people will put in many, many hours unpaid labour for their local GAA club or tidy towns. Not a hope in hell they would do the same for a railway, even if it was on their doorstep.
  12. Like countries with "democratic" in their names are seldom democratic!
