REVELLERS WILL DESCEND upon cities and towns across the country tonight to see out 2014.
Gardaí say that New Year’s Eve is usually a busy night for them, but they say that there is no specific appeal this year, aside from asking people to use public transport where possible.
In Dublin, bus, train and Luas services will all be operating a Saturday service until around 10pm, with Coastal and City tour buses running as normal.
The Ghostbus will not run.
Public transport will, however, have late services to get partygoers home.
Dublin Bus will run a normal weekend Nitelink service, the Green Luas line will have late trams on the half hour from 1am until 3.30am.
Iarnród Éireann will run normal services on some routes across the country, but most routes will end early.
In Dublin, commuter trains will have special late services on all lines.
The festivities in Dublin, where the New Year’s Festival is taking place, mean that Dame Street is closed to traffic all day.
The area from Christchurch to Trinity College will be at the centre of the festival.

On Leeside, last buses leave the city centre at 9pm, with some services ending earlier.

Have none of you seen or remembered the HSBC ads? It’s all about known your clients needs like the number 13 is lucky in china, chrysanthemum in Italy are associated with loss and sadness and laundering a drug cartels money is traditional in Mexico, HSBC taking you places. Now that’s customer service!!
Number 8 is lucky in china… Obviously ads don’t work all the time ;-)
Number 9 is the most sought after number for people of Chinese extraction in Thailand,as 9 is the luckiest of all Chinese numbers.
It’s Lord Green, not Brown.
Quite right!
To maintain stability fiat currency systems require constant monetary expansion. To facilate constant monetary expansion bankers need a constantly expanding portfolio of products and enterprises to invest in. Initially, they can invest in proprietary areas, but ultimately end up investing in dodgy derivatives and Mexican banks. Where possible politicans, central bankers and regulators will turn a blind eye.
” Today’s worldwide paper-, or “fiat-,” money regime is an economically and socially destructive scheme — with far-reaching and seriously harmful economic and societal consequences, effects that extend beyond what most people would imagine.
Fiat money is inflationary; it benefits a few at the expense of many others; it causes boom-and-bust cycles; it leads to overindebtedness; it corrupts society’s morals; and it will ultimately end in a depression on a grand scale.”

More Capitalism corruption.

Jaysus what next!?
By the time my grandson is 40, there will be a world of over 10 Billion people. Is Market capitalism really the most appropriate system for such an immense amount of people? Surely this system will lead only to wars, disease, famine…the horsemen of the apocalypse….. When shall we start thinking of a new system to protect and not destroy humanity?
have your say
