I can see the bridge all right- and haven’t those web-reinforced steel beams held up well since the Dutch king and his wife rode over it in 1690? – but where’s the river? All I see down there is demolition waste.
What’s gonna happen to the old Europa bus centre? Is it gonna turn into parking for the new station?
I don’t see any protesters, unless they’re really small protesters, like protest-ants.
Good riddance
I can’t believe the protest of tens of people didn’t stop this.
Ah, memories… The Europa bus center has been such a staple for years… I hope they find a good way to repurpose the space it’s a piece of history in its own way
Surely the bridge was only there to go over the bus traffic, but if they get rid of the bridge and just make it a normal road as nothing is there anymore, it makes sense. Bridges require regular maintenance for safety and to make sure they are intact. A road wouldn’t need as much. Maybe a petition to call it The Boyne bridge road or something.
Ats our culture gone so it is
Did King Billy actually cross it? There’s a church in Crumlin that claims to have a goblet he drank from, and an old Inn in Portadown that claims he stayed there. I don’t know if I believe any of them.
I am filing this under T for ‘Things I love to see’
It’s almost as if the wishes and concerns of working-class people don’t matter. Compare to the A5 upgrade or Armagh by-pass which were scuppered by the machinations of wealthy, politically-influential cliques.
King billy must be turning in his wife’s knickers
The most unionism can gather these days is to a fill a small orange hall in some random townland. Gone is the day of tens of thousands of people coming out to protest like the “glory days”.
These days people would rather site at home and watch Netflix. People do not care anymore about shite like this.
Newspapers and trying to make a story out of nothing.
No surprise, the “*Protest*” was very lacklustre and unenthusiastic, almost as if this whole debacle was just a few angry old arseholes holding the bar up in the rangers club and bored reactionary’s on bakebook and everyone else in Sandy Row didn’t give a shit.
The protests were irrelevant
Where is the army of loyalists?
Thought they’d be out?
Pull it down and piss on what’s left of the previous one that King Billy didn’t even cross
They should rename the bridge in Tates Avenue to be the new “Boyne bridge”.
This should be acceptable to both communities because I saw in the documentary [*Kneecap*](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27367464/), that popular local entertainer Naoise Ó Caireallain, borrowed the Mace of a marching band, and took them for a fun run over the bridge, starting the run with the popular phrase “Rangers are Sh*te”
I enjoy the fact that this is an absolute non-issue for virtually everyone except for the usual empty house fight-starters on here. Gotta keep that pot stirring !!!!
