So, Skipness, for the sake of a few cheap jibes you are happy to ignore the FACTS as detailed by the world's major economic bodies re the wealth Ireland.
There's nothing sparing about the application of the figures, what is in question is the way the Irish government has squandered the wealth of the last 15 years to the detriment of just about every sector of the country's infrastructure.
If the Irish Government failed to see the benefits of the multi-modal hub as postulated by the WTO, (who, dare I say it is a body composed of people far more knowlegable than you or I) that's no excuse for you to poke fun at someone with a great deal more experience of life in general and of what we are talking about than you have gained in the very few years you will have been in commerce, or whatever it is you do (not much it seems as, for someone in work you spend far too much time on here).
