Sligo is doing very well, second only to Cork in numbers and is actually still growing. No motorway west of Kinnegad. The train hammers the bus on journey time and matches on frequency. Bye bye Sligo airport as well, 60k more passengers will need transport

To be fair Colm it took some pushing from you to get him to mention a low point. That said Fearn actually talks the talk just a pity it hasn't been translated into action.

Credit to Frank Allen of the RPA who was quite honest about the planning delays being a problem.
