frightening in a democracy that none of the national tv stations carried the story .Its a shambles they knew it was going to be from the blueprints but still they went ahead with it .

The top 10 most read stories on  the RTE news website don't mention it either.  People don't care.  It's not a conspiracy!

Top 10 stories are:
NY terroritst, weather, Blanch shooting, PE for Leaving Cert, Brexit, weather, dead body Ranelagh, weather, Funeral/car crash, dead body Lucan

If it was only the lights it should be easy to fix. I had visions of trams wedged solid on tracks laid arseways.

I think when the lights broke, 6 luas trams got backed up from O'Connell St bridge back to College Green.  Buses couldn't get through and backed up on Pearse St etc.

And according to one media report, it took Gardai 30mins+ to turn up and start doing traffic management.  If only there was a Garda station close by Pearse St...

I took today off because I thought gridlock might happen...  Think I'll do the same tomorrow just to be sure, to be sure  ::cheers

Fuck sake, I was toying with the idea of taking the night off. After you leaving mytaxi's clients stranded all day I better go in for a few hours to restore their faith...
