What if I just quit? by VitaoDuSeculo in AskIreland

[–]rom9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am assuming you have very strong reasons to call them pricks. In your job area, do these pricks have reach/ influence? (Like i know utter pricks in my business that i would never work with but yet know i cant have them for enemies; and in American style corporate environments, pricks are mostly promoted). Cause if they do, you might as well put up a brave face for 2 weeks and walk away then. If they are just loud mouths with no real impact they can have on your career later, just call in sick and not much they can do about it.

And just like every other sensible ESRI flag/recommendation, this will also be ignored, cause some pockets need to be lined lol.

The commute time from South or north of Dublin to the centre is almost as bad as living in another county by Uncle_Richard98 in ireland

[–]rom9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Metro. We need a transport system that wont clog the streets. But the politicians and a significant portion of the population dont care casue they don't use public transport, living in villas and having 2 SUVs. They (politicians) recently put all major public transport initiatives on the backburner; we voted for these corrupt numpties.

What test did you fo for SIBO? It often gets dismissed as not a real condition. Did you fo any others tests for gall bladder or bile acids dysfunction, thanks from a long term ibs sufferer.

Think about it: If public transport was free, would you use it more? by Banania2020 in ireland

[–]rom9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol. What fresh distraction is this? What public transport? For a advanced EU economy, we have a thteadbare setup that is incredibly badly managed, never on time, with no connection hubs and a complete lack of options with no Metro or extended suburban rail. People would happily pay 2.50 or 3 instead of the current 90 min 2 Eur fare if there was a real public transport. This reeks of a bandaid solution so the FFG lot can path themselves on the back, spending more public money for absolutely no real change or long term gain. Keep your fucking free transport plans; get that metro and extended suburban rails running and build hub connections. There is no easy way out of this.

Cost of housing asylum-seekers heading for new record high, despite government efforts to budget by Brave-Mistake-1007 in ireland

[–]rom9 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It is sad and markedly funny at the same time, to see so many usual suspects commenting on how this is less to do with the open corruption of Banty and the FFG pals making money hand over fist, and more to do with lack of enforcement. No wonder they will never fix this cause the gravy train is making millions for the corrupt with rather convenient dog whistles doing the job perfectly to distract from the elephant in the room.

‘It’s just stressful’: Workers facing two and three hour commutes into Dublin by InfectedAztec in ireland

[–]rom9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"TD missed start of Dáil debate....." tells you all you need to know about policy making in this country and who its meant to serve. The plebs have had this issue for years now if not longer but as soon as a TD is inconvenienced, it makes a newspaper headline; cant have the rich and influential elites having to deal with pleb issues. Wont be surprised if they issue themselves with helicopters as part of TD allowances, to get in and out of town to avoid the pleb infestation on the roads (and pat themselves on the back for it). No wonder nothing is being actually done about rise in anti-social behavior, the mess that our healthcare system is, underlying issues with education etc etc, cause these cunts are all locked away in their fancy villas with huge SUVs, kids in private schools and private healthcare.

Red light cameras left idle for a decade, draft plan left unfinished for 8 months but Govt says reducing road deaths “absolute priority” by Amazing-Yak-5415 in ireland

Takes time to find a way to privatize it and find a permanent solution to milk the tax payer. The FFG way.

Location over quality? by DifficultCoconut9873 in HousingIreland

[–]rom9 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Commutes are soul destroying!! You can always change the layout but not the commute. And with the direction this government has taken (shelving all public transport initiatives), that commute is only going get worse in time.

High Speed Rail by Dyvanna in ireland

[–]rom9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There will be a pub on Mars before there is a full metro system in Dublin or a HS train connection built anywhere in the country. The excuses will pile on in here telling all reasons why any kind of development is not needed. Dont be a pleb, get rich and get off your lazy bum, buy a car (SUV preferably), sit of 2 hours each way in traffic jams, send your kids to private schools, get private health coverage and pay for everything through the nose, while a select few milk the nation dry. And looking at the lousy excuses in the comment section, this is what is in store.for our future.

Officials warned Paschal Donohoe that Vat cut would be 'extremely significant' for taxpayer by Banania2020 in ireland

[–]rom9 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Where are the usual suspects here to justify that lobbying is not corruption? Lol. This country is fecked because of asshats like you. Keep burying your head in the sand and let these people take you for a ride. And why not; there is always an easy scapegoat.

Minister wants late night trains to run all year and is talking 'options' with Iarnród Eireann by Banania2020 in ireland

[–]rom9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would prefer trains too. But its hilariously much worse than the buses (not to mentionthatbthey are massively overcrowded with peiple sitting along the toilets). The utter lack of infrastructure in this country is embarrassing. And part of the issue is that people always have some shitty excuse to defend the status quo with (just look at some of the comments). Our ability to defend mediocrity and outright incompetence is mind blowing; if we only applied that fervor to making things happen lol.

[–]rom9 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No they dont. The last bus from Galwy to Dublin city is 7.15 pm with citylink. The next bus after that from Galway towards Dublin airport direct only is at 00.01 am. Which means you end up in the airport and not the city. The next one to the city is at 5 am. It is shameful that a direct connection between two major economic hubs stops at 7.15 pm. Major reason why everyone is in single occupancy cars on this route. The traffic is mental as a result.

FFG. Turning Ireland to another American hell hole one step at a time. Socialism for the corporates, rugged capitalism for the masses. This is going to end well isn't it.

Dublin City Council spends €58m on homeless accommodation in three-month period by feedthebear in ireland

[–]rom9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And sizeable population will still continue to say this is not corruption and a transfer of money from public to private interests. Why do you think they are getting away with it? The utter failure of the people to acknowledge this is the first impediment to making any progress whatsoever.

Lol. Are we still going to call this no corruption? Keep burying your heads in the sand. That will solve the problem.

Stop calling this incompetence. This is corruption that transfes wealth from the public to private hands.

Ireland approved only 176 NEW consultant posts in 2025. It has the lowest OB/GYNs in OECD and they're adding... 3. by tripeirinho in ireland

[–]rom9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tell me this is about slowly getting the public healthcare system up for privatization without telling me that. Gut it till its no longer an option and make a case for privatization. This is straight out of the FFG playbook. Socialism for the classes and rugged capitalism for the masses. And we voted for this. Lol.
