STEPPING ON THE property ladder can be difficult, especially when it comes to finding a new home that’s within your budget. That’s why, every week, we review four homes within a certain price range, so you can figure out how much bang your buck will get you.

    Miserable comments from miserable people. Even when you get something for nothing you still moan. You are only happy when you are unhappy. Perhaps a mass underwater protest without breathing apparatuses might be in order.

    Do you realise that Dublin Port is a state company and the shareholder is the minister for transport ? This wasnt a gift to the state, we already own it ! they gave us something we own and we celebrate. Wow people are stupid.

    Same old griping and grousing. Sometimes you can understand why Cromwell wanted to send us all west of the Shannon.

    Re: Bull Island, replacing the causeway with a bridge would do wonders for the flow of water and would prevent much of the bird sanctuary from silting up beyond rescue.

    But it will now be in the hands of DCC, which means it will be owned by the people of Dublin

    A gift to the people of Dublin my arse. Its a money saving venture by Dublin Port thus offloading the cost of upkeep to Dublin City Council and ultimately the taxpayer.

    mick, its people like yourself that just like to shit on anything good, sure the same could be said for any gift to any country or city

    Kilkenny Castle was given to the city for a very small fee of 50 punts (token gesture really).
    But by your logic you can bitch and moan and say its a burden due to the costs that had to go into renovating the castle,

    France gave the statue of liberty to the USA as a gift, but sure you can bitch and moan the American’s have to pay to look after it.

    Sure if that was their outlook why wouldn’t they sell it to someone, or leave it as it is , they’re not exactly under any obligation to ‘upkeep’ it. At least if DCC have it there is a possibility of it being of use to the people of and visiting Dublin.

    Any alterations to the port area could cause Bull Island disintegrate, it is ‘artificial’ as it formed as recently as 1820 -1860. On the other hand it could grow massively ,interesting times ahead for the Bay

    It says it all in the article for goodness sake the key words being “community gain element” of their application for deeper berths for the cruise ships ,we don’t need all the bull all we need as a city of intelligent people who want the best for our city is a proper environmental study done to make sure dredging and construction work won’t do any lasting damage to environment and animal life in Dublin Bay and to make sure that ‘consultant’ fees and costs are within a realistic budget. My bet would be that if Dublin City Council had minimum role to play and Dublin Port Company took the lead on it things would go pretty smoothly
