According to recent press releases IBB have raised another €25 million in funding.

Do you think this will be spent on improving their network and service or is it more likely to be spent on advertising / marketing?

Do you know who own IBB? Why it is the "Golden Bridge" over the Strawberry Beds between Lucan and Blanchstown (just another little earner!!)

But this makes sense! Give them a superhighway and they will do their damndest to slow things to a crawl. It all ties in.

I am wondering if IBB are the only ones following this thread? Is BB (big brother) Government also following this? No sooner had I mentioned that the "Golden Bridge" was a nice little earner than BBG (above) announces that they are going to get rid of the toal plazza and replace them with on/off toals for the whole M50 !!!!

You will excuse me if I burst into song! It goes something like Bob Dylan. First verse : "They toal you when you driving in your car, they toal you when you are on the road, they toal when you're in your drive. Everyone must get toaled"
ALL TOGETHER NOW!!
