Not sure why Galway is in the mix other than being home to the other (non Munster) regional city. The amounts would be transforming but well it’ll never happen.
“In a personal plea to Harris, Mayor John Moran said that €2 billion of the fund should be given directly to the city and county of Limerick.
He suggested that the money should be split with €3.5 billion going to Cork, €2 billion to Waterford, €1 billion to Galway and €2 billion to Limerick.
In a lengthy letter and submission to the Taoiseach in September, Moran said this would help rebalance the country’s economy which was “dangerously concentrated in the east.””
Don’t ask don’t get.
Delulu – this is money stolen from apples global profits, not by anything Munster has done in particular to generate haha
We will share our stolen goods please
Not make more sense to either split it three or four ways so each of the provinces gets a cut
Said it before, and will say it again. Put every cent into the rail network
This money is one off. They shouldn’t just throw at an already insanely inefficient public sector. It should be either held back for a crisis or used to finally axe the USC
Fuck you Kerry, Clare and Tipp says Limerick mayor
Munster need to rebuild their team to be fair!
I mean regional investment can’t be a bad thing. Irelands economy is skewed eastwards, but people are being priced out of Dublin and frankly our infrastructure isn’t up to much nationally.
Apple’s based in Cork so they should get it all as they did all the hard work.
Ah ya, apple don’t even know his name. I don’t….
It should be split between housing and health
Ok cool, I think that’s fair. Ohh and then let’s use all the money that is generated in the IFSC and elsewhere in Dublin for Dublin only.
This has the same energy Delaney asking Blatter could we be the 33rd team in the World Cup.
It’s obviously been leaked because it was such a ridiculous ask, hoisted by his own words.
Seriously damaging to yer man’s supposed image as a competent hand at the wheel.
They would waste it on a bike shelter
Bullshit article by Ken Foxe who has sensationalised something very banal.
Moran put the request in a pre budget submission. Every organisation in the country writes in before the budget to makes a case for more money. You can be pretty sure that no fucks were given in Government buildings about this or any other pre budget submission.
Apple themselves have complained about transit access to their campus and poor roads in the area. For what they pay in tax they’re entitled to complain too
For a second I thought it meant to the rugby team. They’d surely get a decent pack out of that money.
Was on Dirt Fingers. It’s the podcast we all need.
A metro system in every pot
He has the right idea.
Unfortunately much of the 3 billion for the Dublin Children’s Hospital still has to be paid for and you can probably more than double or triple that for the Dublin Metro. And all the real decision makers are in and from Dublin.
There is zero chance an equitable amount of the apple billions will be spent outside the M50 let alone a rebalancing amount.
Tbh though, yeah, it would be a sin if all this just gets pumped into Dublin or a Metro initiative.
Ireland is so underdeveloped. Even in Dublin. All we have in 2025 is a tram. Embarrassing. We need to develop second and tertiary regions to give ourselves a better chance.
That money could do some good in areas where development costs are lower. That’s a really great plan to use the money.
Pay the teachers and nurses before they all fucking quit!
You southerners can shag off I’ve never seen a train in my life spend all the apple money on connecting us and Leitrim to the rest of the country, and if there’s anything left over build a wall made out of gold to separate us and Derry, can’t be sure about them lot.
Harris just replied in an official statement – “Fuck off, it’s not even enough to cover the rest of children’s hospital”
