When is the WRC tax (money p!ssed up a wall for no meaningful benefit to the people who live in the West, never mind Dublin) happening?

As for Dublin Bikes "not costing anything" - don't kid yourself. JC Decaux ain't a charity and Dublin public space was definitely worth something to them, and therefore to everyone else too.
