It's so badly designed that it vears off to the West just South of Birmingham and ends up clipping Wicklow, the West of Dublin and Drogheda before heading back under the sea into UK. Its a serious tunnel |  | |  |

In many cases inflation plus a percentage. For example +3.9% on your mobile phone tarrif, or cable/ satellite services. All of course with government approval. Perhaps that will be something that gets changed after the next election but somehow I doubt it. |  |

It’s not quite the same scale, but locally they are spending £6.8m putting in 4 traffic lights and a bit of resurfacing of a junction. Someone somewhere is making an awful lot of money https://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/news/local-news/work-finally-set-begin-68millio |  | |  |

..... its an ill wind ..... Will it be going through any other counties other than Leitrim? Sorry just spotted the Irish bit of the route. Would be of great benefit to my commute but I will be retiring in a year's time. My grandchild will appreciate it however. [Post edited 10 Jan 2024 16:35]

Unfortunately this stage doesn't reach Leitrim, but who knows what stage 2 may deliver... At least it will help the grandkids out |  | |  |

It's typical tory mismanagement. Spend all the money (and then some!) on the South bit and pull the plug on it. They should have started in the North and worked South. |  | |  |

I know nothing about any of this, but it seems like any public construction project costs the earth, but only in this country. Are people in that industry just really well paid or something? |  |
