  1. They’re slightly oversized hills. They’re not the Rockies.

  2. There’s about as much chance as jesus christ appearing before me. We can’t even get casement park bullt. This country is hopeless tbh bunch of miserable cunts all around.

  3. Aye stick a Spar up there as well while you’re at it sure.

  4. Lead all the visitors up to the top

    Weather turns

    Cable cars won’t be back on for two hours

    Don’t worry there is a cafe and gift shop

    Profit

  5. When you tell people in any continental European country e.g. Italy how tall our mountains are, they laugh.
    We are too fat, if you want to go to the mountain top, walk fatty.

  6. Fuck no. It’s a beautiful natural spot and all this monstrosity appeals to is the same flock of gram wanker influencers looking a photo op and cruise passengers who might die after 4 steps.

  7. The top of Donard is bad enough for dickheads drinking and littering as it is.

    The Mournes are barely even mountains; they’re pretty but they’re just big hills. If you can’t get up them under your own steam, take yourself off and camp 2 feet from your Kia Sportage in Tollymore.

  8. Another place for a brewdogs instead of a local brewery, stormont will love it.

  9. I think once we get the bridge across to Scotland built, then we should have a serious look at this. But not before then.

  10. There is absolutely no need. Snowdon is awful because of the lift, place is full of dickheads taking photos like it’s the Everest base camp when thy came up on the train.

  11. Would be a waste of money wouldn’t be used frequently enough to warrant the millions spent. This isn’t the Swiss alps we don’t get that many tourists going to the mournes every year. And they aren’t particularly hard to climb as long as you are in reasonable shape

  12. Funding for this was just paused, soon to be cancelled. This was part of the Belfast City Regional Deal package.

  13. Cable Car is a terrible plan.

    What Newcastle needs is a genuine, bona fide… electrified, six-car monorail.

    Ah, it’s not for you.

    It’s more of a Castlewellan idea.

  14. The last thing our “wee” country needs is more excuse not to walk

  15. I’ve heard, that once you reach the top you won’t be allowed access outside of the cable car station.. for health and safety reasons. What a joke.

  16. Newcastle does not need anything else added to it until the traffic situation is sorted.
