There is intensive lobbying going on this weekend both for and against the proposed new bridge across the Tolka to carry cyclists (and pedestrians) into the East Wall area on their way to the Samuel Beckett Bridge.

The FDI figures for 2009 make for interesting reading: http://www.cso.ie/releasespublications/documents/economy/current/fdi.pdf

In accordance with its Arts Service Plan, Dublin City Council invites applications for funding towards arts projects and programmes in the city which are complementary to the following objectives: Achieving quality provision of the arts and cultural services Supporting the established and emerging artist Ensuring equality of public access to and participation in the arts, [...]

The Indo today seems to have gotten hold of a report on the above topic from the EPA to Government.  The report does not appear to be on the EPA site yet. In fairness to Dublin City Council, the fact that they receive absolutely no mention in the media piece is testament to their ongoing engineering efforts to supply [...]

Arthur Beesley has a good piece in the Irish Times today where he starts to piece together the situation regarding the combined German/French push to bring in new rules on the management of financial affairs by EU member states.

Only joking…! If you look hard you’ll see a Drilling Rig out in Dublin Bay just off Poolbeg. The appearance of the Rig heralds the start of site investigation works associated with the building of an under-sea tunnel that will carry the water treated by the extension to the Ringsend Wastewater Treatment Works. 

The “3% of GDP by 2014″ target for the national finances has become a “universal truth” with little or no debate. (1) Why is it 3%? Why not 0%, 2% or 4%? (2) Why is it 2014? Why not 2013 or 2015? (3) Exactly who proposed “3% by 2014″ in the first place? My bet [...]
