1. Comment on £16 million wasted, Hidden cost of A5.

   “There is no blockage in the Carrick direction in the mornings or during the day, at least not that I’ve seen whin my daily commute out of Whiteabbey for the past five years.”

   If you leave Whiteabbey and head into Belfast, what would you know about traffic congestion from Loughshore as far as the Station Road, Greenisland from 3 pm onwards?

   Is it any wonder Carrickfergus is such a hole? Who in their right mind would invest there (apart from Lidl) with the Greenisland bottleneck creating such traffic chaos day and daily.

   Interesting revelation.
   Seem to recall, a fortnight ago, my complaints about this failure to build 1 mile of road being dismissed as ‘absolutely moronic’ by another contributor.
   Now it emerges £16m has already been wasted to leave the route littered with abandoned homes. Even more ridiculously, a new development of houses leading on to the Shore Road was given the go ahead, which undoubtedly (if they ever sell) will lead to more congestion on the Shore Rd, already at snail’s pace from early morning and mid-afternoon.
   What an absolute shambles by all concerned…local politicans, the MP and the woeful minister.

4. Comment on DRD Minister intends to grant £8.6million to City of Derry Airport
   on 30 January 2011 at 5:51 pm

   “Which minister confirmed that funding was available ? I’d be interested to read the wording they used.
   This is seems self-evidently untrue given that, er, the money isn’t in place”

   ..but was in place.

   The decision and approval of the final chosen scheme was made years back…..and funding was in place according to each of the Ministers in charge.
   Now, when the scheme should be commencing, it isnt.
   They’ve failed miserably to improve a 1mile stretch of road.

   ..and the A2 Shore Road improvement project has been kicked back to 2015, at least. 10 years of devolved Government and between the lot of them they cant improve a 1 mile stretch of road.

   So, the passport is ok to entice young Northern Irish Roman Catholic footballers to join the FAi teams, but allowing these self-same cherished citizens of the nation to have a vote…no chance, your passport only gets you so far.
   ‘Pretend Irish’ .
