      Aw grand sure give over half to one Provence, not like the rest of the country has any problems at all

      Not sure why Galway is in the mix other than being home to the other (non Munster) regional city. The amounts would be transforming but well it’ll never happen.

      “In a personal plea to Harris, Mayor John Moran said that €2 billion of the fund should be given directly to the city and county of Limerick.

      He suggested that the money should be split with €3.5 billion going to Cork, €2 billion to Waterford, €1 billion to Galway and €2 billion to Limerick.

      In a lengthy letter and submission to the Taoiseach in September, Moran said this would help rebalance the country’s economy which was “dangerously concentrated in the east.””

      Delulu – this is money stolen from apples global profits, not by anything Munster has done in particular to generate haha

      We will share our stolen goods please

      Not make more sense to either split it three or four ways so each of the provinces gets a cut

      Said it before, and will say it again. Put every cent into the rail network

      This money is one off. They shouldn’t just throw at an already insanely inefficient public sector. It should be either held back for a crisis or used to finally axe the USC

      I mean regional investment can’t be a bad thing. Irelands economy is skewed eastwards, but people are being priced out of Dublin and frankly our infrastructure isn’t up to much nationally.

      Apple’s based in Cork so they should get it all as they did all the hard work.

      Ok cool, I think that’s fair. Ohh and then let’s use all the money that is generated in the IFSC and elsewhere in Dublin for Dublin only.

      This has the same energy Delaney asking Blatter could we be the 33rd team in the World Cup.

      It’s obviously been leaked because it was such a ridiculous ask, hoisted by his own words.

      Seriously damaging to yer man’s supposed image as a competent hand at the wheel.

      Bullshit article by Ken Foxe who has sensationalised something very banal.

      Moran put the request in a pre budget submission. Every organisation in the country writes in before the budget to makes a case for more money. You can be pretty sure that no fucks were given in Government buildings about this or any other pre budget submission.

      Apple themselves have complained about transit access to their campus and poor roads in the area. For what they pay in tax they’re entitled to complain too
