Going nowhere

A FEW weeks ago Bertie Ahern announced the revival of the Easter parade to celebrate the centenary of the Rising in 2016.

This was followed by last week’s announcement of a 10-year transport strategy, including a new Metro line that will run under O’Connell Street and a new Luas line that will run past the GPO. Given this Government’s propensity for project over-runs it now looks like O’Connell Street will be unavailable for the parade in 2016 because of transport works. Is this another example of Martin Cullen’s ‘joined-up thinking?’
