Well that was a bit of fun regarding the corporate boxes in Croke Pk and Lansdowne Rd. 3 boxes in total 2 are so called rented out in which we aren't allowed to know how much is made from them and 1 for there personal use. I love to know who was in those photos. I wonder if we will ever find out.

I really don't like the way that the CIE board wont resign over the viaduct collapse and I especially dont like the way why CIE are exempt from the freedom of Information act. How did get this. Are there plans to include them in the future. Would there be a long term plan to fully replace the viaduct with a modern structure?

I look forward to the next committee with CIE which I can safely say will happen.

Commercial Semi State bodies in existence before FOI came into being are excluded. The reality is CIE is not under FOI, but given they have to hand over nearly everything to the NTA, RSC, RAIU and DoT it makes little difference as they fall under FOI.

The viaduct is fine, all piers now have some class of piled support. Had it been maintained correctly in the first place it would have carried a risk and higher maintenance costs but would have been well within the acceptable limits
