I get a bit tired of people fantasising about re-opening lines which have long been obliterated. People should get real.

Should Glounthane-Midleton not have happened, for example? Certainly there were significant numbers of internet dwellers getting their pants twisted over Luas daring to reconstruct even part of the Harcourt Street line a few years ago.

It isn't a crime to say "what if" and it is not as if the purse strings get tightened or loosened on the whim of internet posters.
