@skibbereeneagle well put.

I'm just resharing Sam McBride's post about the state of the Irish railway network at the beginning of the state and now, incase anyone has not seen all the infrastructure we've lost.

@nichorra @skibbereeneagle I haven't lived in Ireland since I was 20 but every now and then I remember this and it makes me so freaking mad.

Especially when Europeans are like, "dO yOu hAvE aNy aDvIcE fOr traveling in IrElAnD" and I'm like yeah... get a bloody car or you'll be fuckin walking.
