Comment on Wait all Day for a bus and three Streetcars of Desire come at once by Philip

Yes, I’ve a sore head from all the brick walls I’ve hit it against, William. However, I feel confident there’ll be a start on this in about two years from now. I feel there’s almost a critical mass of opinion, as well as a shortage of cash, which will favour it over more expensive projects. If it happens in Dublin, then there’s no reason why it shouldn’t happen in Cork, and indeed other cities.

Philip, do you ever feel as if you’re knocking your head against a wall? You’d think that in the ‘current climate’ people would embrace an idea like BRT. Perhaps the next government will give it some thought. I hear Labour doesn’t want to do Metro North anyway. As regards ever getting anything like that down here….

This was written in 2007. I’ve tried to update it but WordPress won’t let me, somehow.

Using/reusing VistA would be too simple. There would be no opportunity to re-invent the wheel and have big buget project with the usual vendors. The old saying was ‘nobody ever got fired for buying *****’ fill in as appropriate

Thanks, Lucy. I’ve been meaning to put up some outline policies to stimulate discussion but I simply haven’t had the time. Next week, hopefully. And yes, I will be writing about the Corrib question.

Just wanted to say that I’m very interested in your ideas, and, given my own location, on how they related to the corrib gas controversy – or have you had time to think about that? I must read some of your work! Best,
Lucy

European Citizens’ Consultations
on the Future of Europe 2009

Dear Sir Casey,

In the run-up to the 2009 Euro-elections, the European Citizens’ Consultations 2009 (ECC 2009) will give citizens a voice in the debate over how to respond to the current economic and financial crisis by providing a platform for a pan-European dialogue on the future of Europe. In May 2009, 150 citizens from all EU countries will present their recommendations for our social and economic future to European leaders and candidate Members of the European Parliament. You can help them in this challenging task.

Engaging in the debate enables you to take part in ECC 2009 and get your voice heard. The website dedicated to the debate in Ireland is http://www.european-citizens-consultations.eu/ie or http://www.comhairliuchan-eorpach-do-shaoranaigh.eu People can post their comments and make recommendations for action, which will then be discussed at a series of national consultations – the Irish one will take place in March 2009 in Dublin – and at a European Citizens’ Summit in May 2009. The final recommendations will be presented to EU policy-makers on the eve of the European elections.

There are two times in this project when your voice is particularly important:

1. To generate ideas on the economic and social future of the European Union (December 2008 – March 2009): You can contribute to the debate on what the EU can do to shape our economic and social future, discuss the issues which are important to you with others, make concrete proposals and vote on proposals made by others. You can also mention the website dedicated to the consultation on your own site and help us promote the European Citizens’ Consultation.

2. Debate the recommendations (April – May 09)
The outcome of the European Citizens’ Consultations in all 27 Member States will be a list of recommendations from citizens on how Europe can shape our economic and social future. Comment on these results before they are handed over to European leaders!

Comment on Powermaster ReCyclone: too good to be true? by Rosemarie

What a wonderful idea, Philip

I also heard of green solution to carbon in the atmosphere, from Michael McCarthy, a UK journalist, writing in The Independent, mentions burying carbon emisions underground.

I myself have often wondered if radioactive waste could be contained in plastic and buried underground – to emerge as fuel in milennia to come
