    Dublin Docklands Devlopment Authority

    There have been several hints in the media over the last few months that there could be suspicious dealings involving the Dublin Docklands Development Authority. If there is something going on (of which the media is aware) why hasn't the Fraud Squad been asked to make inquiries.

    When I was in Gael-Taca we worked with the DDDA to erect bilingual directional signage around the IFSC so I credit them for that.

    How much did that cost? Another fine example of the waste in modern Ireland. We translate signs into a dead language for political correctness reasons.

    give me a new A&E ward anyday.

    Eh... hello?????? They didn't replace the signs so that they could be bilingual. When they were designing them they merely made the design bilingual and then ordered them. It wouldn't have cost much.

    I was just making a note. Of course if the DDDA have been acting irresponsibly then they should, of course, be held to account.

    Agreed - but your monomanical insistence on dragging the language into every effing debate.....
