I wonder when we will pay off that bridge and they can finally close the toll like they promised? Any day now!

Bridge well paid, basically just robbing people now.

Tolls are a great idea as they charge based on actual road use. Thats why they are standard everywhere.

When will the USC be abolished? That was supposed to be temporary as well…

This is an insane amount of money. I think people underestimate the difference between a million and a billion, nevermind two and a half billion.

There was a documentary made about the M50 toll years ago. The Irish government got fuck all money out of it. It was owned by a group of people including the Roche family (Roches Stores) and the Spanish royal family. I don’t know if that’s still the case but 20 years ago it was definitely true.

I mean if they stop the tolling they will just raise taxes somewhere else? Not sure it’s worth the fuss.

How many more years until we get the price of a children’s hospital out of it?

Could have bought the whole bridge for 400m at the time – the ultimate brown-envelope trap there. Thanks Bertie and FF.
