Sad to say nobody cares about it all.We have people out of their depth running many government quangos.Its all about "jobs for the boys".

Can anyone verify my estimates here - they must be wrong! If not then there is really something very scary going on here... 17 years @ €2 per day = €12410 per user I hear the number of users per day is 100000, so that's: * €1,241,000,000 paid so far in tolls * plus €488,000,000 (or is it €650,000,000 ?) from our taxes that the government gave NTR. Total: 1,729,000,000 * plus €100,000 on advertising (who paid for that?) * plus cost of demolition of the pay for boothes? (I heard that cost €23,000,000 - is that true?) Can this ‘tax’ be challenged in any way?
