‘Ivor the Engine’ huffs and puffs
On Monday, Junior Transport Minister Ivor Callely - allegedly known as ‘Ivor the Engine’ - announced a €16bn package involving new rail services, an airport metro, a new train station in Dublin and an underground connector linking Heuston and Connolly stations.
It sounded fantastic - but there was one problem. Ivor not only jumped the gun, but apparently imagined some of the measures.
