It won't affect night drivers so only a third of the fleet will give a bollix

I'm surprised the Dublin chamber of commerce are not up in arms. All the businesses in that area having to make their customers/clients walk.

If they get a bus or Luas they'll be grand....just don't expect to be dropped to the door.

Unions me Bollox .They had a chance 8 years ago to try get on to Dublin City Council but they decided to occupy her office they then blocked O Connell Street which resulted in Noel Dempsey signing into law the 9 year rule in the dept of a Fucking Recession .The Unions have done more damage to this business they should fuck off .If its all about Access How can they stand over Licenced Drivers being excluded from Dublin Airport or how can they Stand over Licenced Drivers being extorted for Two Euro to pick up at certain venues .For your information there are only 3 Green Party Members on DCC and they still managed to get the Chair of the Transport Committee .Renta Bike, a meter clearance for Cyclists ,restricted Access .Unions are a bit like Jockies it dosent matter how bad they ride the horse they will keep telling the owner and trainer that they will win sometime even when the horse is being tinned for dogfood they will insist they could of won .

Minister Dempsey didn't sign in the 9 year rule, regulation of vehicle standards was delegated to the regulator on inception. Ms Doyle ordered TAC to approve the 9 year rule long before the great blockade of O'Connell St. In fact I leaked the letter on Roy's myself using the apt "Stealth" account.
The only possible reason I can see for the unions objecting to the College Green ban is to detract attention from their representatives on TAC colluding with NTA to (try to) recruit more taxi drivers.

Eloquent nonsense, makes a change I guess!

You got one thing right Rodent which is quite unusual for you .Why are the reps so quiet about 1500 new entrants being trained to enter the industry when there are no vehicles available for them ?
-
They sit on TAC i.e. they approved the recruitment drive.

Did they approve ?What is that based on just because they didnt protest ?

TAC oversees regulation. That's why drivers' reps took seats on it. Sure, Joe Heron even went to the media to report 20,000 drivers leaving the trade because they got better jobs... they didn't merely approve, they promoted the scheme.

Its a big Penny Rodent but it still hasent dropped .You got to feel sorry for the Ambassadors they will be the first to be replaced when Daimler/Toyota ,Volvo make all Electric Cars available for the New Licenced Drivers .Logoritms will be able to avoid heavy traffic and save on battery life as the Ambassadors skurry down Mount Street to pick up a new mother From Temple Street going to Barrow Street .
-
Is Temple St the new maternity hospital?

No the child fell out of a buggy when the taxi driver refused to get out of his car to help the new mother .Only Ambassadors will be forced to cover crap jobs crossing the city for a 7 euro fare .Or I named the wrong hospital take your choice .

The National Transport Authority in its submission said it supported the plaza plan subject to having two-way bus movement on Parliament Street with low emission vehicles and a segregated cycle track through the plaza..LOW EMISSIONS VEHICLES .Remember Christmas 2016 I gave you a heads up now if they allow WATS I win a £5er from the Rodent .
-
making the whole thing up as they go along.
-
No it was made up years ago .Interesting reference to Low Emissions Vehicles being permitted to use the Plaza is that Vehicles including Taxies or is it just busses ?
-
It’s goign to be a pedestianized plaza, not a mostly pedestrianized plaza with 2 lanes for low emission vehicles. What about the vehicles with zero emissions, will they not be allowed to use it. The segregated cycle track is useless too. Why allowed cyclists take 3 meters of this pedestrianized plaza just so they don’t have to find an alternative way. Pedestrianized the whole fucking lot of it. Grafton & Henry Street were pedestrianized in 80s if I remember correctly. We’ve managed to get by without dropping’s people at the door to Arnotts or Roches Stores and Switzers or Marks and Spencer over the years so we will adapt to a Plaza and where we can drop people and where cyclists can cycle
-
You've gone from saying they will allow high emission WATs to saying they will only allow low emission cars. Something of an oxy moron.
-
No your listen is broke you Daft Fucker as I posted on Roys .It has already been agreed by the Transport Committee that some exemptions for WATs and Low Carbon vehicles will be made for the Plaza .The Plaza CANNOT BE RESTRICTED TO NO TRAFFIC as there is a Dublin City Strategic Emergency Plan and full access for emergency vehicles to College Green must be maintained .If you or any of the so called reps had an iota of intelligence you would be aware of the Emergency Plan .The Plaza will not can not be cut off to traffic .

Deliberate space between y and m?
-
If you throw in enough suggestions John....one of them is bound to be a bit correct.
-
Very little has come true so far... a 3 hour ban for taxis. I don't think any cars should be allowed at all. As I noted on Roy's the artist's impression depicted a beautifully tranquil environment. However, I accept that the ultimate decision should reflect the wishes of those who live and work up above in Dublin.
-
Tranquil....i have visions of Richard Clayderman music being played around the plaza....and all the junkies tranquily shootin up!!
-
Better than shooting each other, I guess. Yet another shooting in the city the other day. Sheriff St this time, barely made the news.

I don't think the gunman fully understood the instruction.."shoot the arsehole!!"

Yes "Shoot the Arsehole" and "Shoot him in the Arsehole" are 2 different things
