Whilst its nice to go on holidays in January you do have to be careful about letting cats out of bags. Maybe I'm cynical. The realpolitik is simple: keep dangling this Carrott, keep flogging this horse for all its worth - there are local elections to be won. Never mind the amazing political capital that can be bought where and when it really matters - in the FF parlimentary party rooms in Kildare Street when Bertie throws in the towel or is knifed in the back. Meath may get some coinage, Dempsey may become relativly important again.
I was wondering, though, at a billion euro between a road and a rail link to Navan, surely it is cheaper to bring the Dubs back home, say relocate them in Adamstown?
