    So that makes it OK?

    I mean, we already pay through the arse for petrol and motor tax as it is so what's a little road toll on top of that.

    Yep Irish logic at it's best.

    What logic would that be? The logic that Irish taxes should be used to pay for irish problems? I dont believe we have subjugated Haiti or Ethiopia recently, go sponsor yourself one if the billions of poor if it troubles you so much.

    It's almost as if we're a proper country. What next? School dinners? Underground railways? No, not for the likes of us.

    Ever? Even in 50 years' time? FF think of the future for once. One project of theirs that I actually must praise. These roads will help the non-Dublin cities grow.

    Your 'economics' if applied would see Ireland back to horse and cart travel, never mind motorway tolls.

    You just implied if we cut our foreign aid budget we would be back to the horse and cart.

    Please explain the mechanism how this would occur.
