‘there appeared to be a “bit of confusion” about the timeline’
I think it’s fair to say we are all deeply confused about the timeline, like why is planning only starting now? Why is the timeline so insanely protracted? Why the fuck can’t we deliver anything to actually unfuck the maelstrom of shit that is Dublin’s urban planning and development?! Why must it always be this way?!!!!??? Etc
“I don’t care if the Irish underground in Dublin is made by the Italians. I am just metaphorically breaking your… I don’t want to use bad words, but if you make a common effort you can do it!”
“Sometimes you don’t sound like you’re kidding, you know, there’s a lotta people around”
“I’m only kidding with you, we’re having a party, I just came home and I haven’t seen you in a long time and I’m breaking your balls, and you’re getting fucking fresh. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you.”
“I’m sorry too. It’s okay. No problem.”
“Okay, salud….Now go home and get your fuckin’ planning application!”
>I want to know if we can do something, we, as Italians, for you?
Does he mean something like making people offers they can’t refuse?
What an odd story
I had to check it wasn’t WWN with some of the quotes in it
We can do a trade, they can build our metrolinks and we will build them a couple of bridges that dont collapse.
Join the club. I’m 26 and I don’t think I’ll see it when I’m 50.
Did the Italian ambassador (Paolo Serpi) learn his English from The Sopranos?
It is pretty embarrassing that Rome can build things faster (albeit they have economies of scale scale and more money at hand) especially when works there routinely stop whenever Roman ruins are unearthed
Ireland is uniquely impossible to build infrastructure in, apparently.
He’s right, how can they build 5 metro lines under one of the historic cities in the world and yet we’re still languishing behind almost every large city in Europe when it comes to public transport.
Great to hear a bit of common sense for once, but a shame it’s coming from an ambassador and not some involved in government who might actually be able to do something about this farce
All we need is for one government to start the project and then every government after that will add a bit and expand the lines.
Did somebody tell him the reason why his train never came is because we haven’t built the line yet?
If we had taken the Japanese up on their offer to build and run a metro rail service we would already have ownership of it at no cost. The deal was they would pay for everything and run it for 20 years then hand it over to us. And we said no.
MetroLink won’t ever see the light of day – for sure.
Rome wasn’t built in a day like.
Ms Graham and Mr Walsh making an absolute show of us. First with ignorance “not delayed, just in planning for 20 years” and secondly the incompetence “don’t know how they do it elsewhere”.
Great job lads, away home now. Fucking eejits.
can I ask why the Italians concern themselves with Irish infrastructure?
They’ve been building a Metro in Naples for about 20 years so maybe he should worry himself about issues in his own country first
as an Italian, coming from Rome, I feel like I have to apologize.
taking Rome as an example is the most stupid thing I have ever heard.
Rome has 3 lines of metro, 2 built between 1955 and 1990 basically, the third one is halfway done. they’ve been stuck under the Colosseo for years, it’s a total clusterfuck .
