Monorail!

Put it on van Persie 1st goal this week 7/2, easy money

That’s how we got into this mess, spending everything we got in and more. Whats wrong with just saving it and let it earn some interest?

How about putting an underwater clock in the Liffey, well not a clock, more of a stopwatch. Then when everybody realises it was a poxy idea, take it out and never mention it ever again.

Update the leaking pipes, for upcoming water tax.

Put it in the credit union for 13 weeks then take out 3 times the amount and have a massive party with it.

Spend €2m on a survey to decide how to spend the €.2m

Buy a giant road sweeper to get rid off all the junkees

1. Clear the rubbish strewn all over the streets, particularly in the north inner city
2. Hire rubbish wardens to fine absentee landlords and people who litter
3. Create a safe cycle path (separate from traffic and buses) from Leeson St on the south side to Dorset St on the north side
4. Build more bicycle parking areas, it’s really hard to find a good safe spot in the city centre
5. Pedestrianise some of the nice little streets between Grafton St, George’s St and College green
6. Plant loads more trees, shrubs and raised planters all over the city. They make a huge difference and are desperately needed.
6. Clamp down on illegal parking
7. Clamp down on cyclists going through red lights and cycling on footpaths

I wouldn’t spend it. I would keep it in a contingency fund to maintain standards next year when budgets will be cut again. Well done for sticking to your targets DCC!

I think they could say a mass

Bag of yokes.

The homeless…asap

Do you know how many Superquinn Sausages that would buy!?!?

Monorail. Monorail. MONORAIL! Or is that more of a Shelbyville idea.

Women and biscuits

Move the Drug Clinics from the Inner City to D4

Reduce rates for hard pressed businesses.

An ice rink !!! Dublin is the only capital city in Europe with out one !!! We have national teams competing in world championships with no where to train or play matches. The sport receives no funding what so ever !! And there are numerous clubs without any where to train.

Invest in property. You can’t lose.

Eradicate the flocks of screaming chemically enhanced zombies floating around the boardwalk and other areas in the city. Then put the rest towards helping the homeless get some way back on track…

Any some trees in the city..not a very green city centre!

Pedestrianise the length of South William St (Brown Thomas carpark exit turn right instead of left)…. it’s a totally useless gridlocked street which is dangerous for pedestrians and could be an amazing alley of cafes and outside tables with a bit of paving, flowers and bollards at each end!

or… fill in potholes/ resurface key city centre roads where needed and put more planters/ flowers around the city centre

Another Spire…..

Plant some trees..make it a greener city centre.

1. Clean the f*eckin’ streets. Buy some high powered sprays and have a crew that use them EVERY DAY. The place is manky. It’s supposed to be just Dirty Dublin not M*nky Sc*mmy F*lthy St*nky Dublin.

2. Put in some cycle lane routes that people actually need rather than on some southside canal route no one uses. And more importantly – maintain them. You still can’t cycle around Stephen’s Green.

But I bet they’ll spend it on yet more pointless billboard / website campaigns for how to tie your shoelaces or whatever.

(is the word feckin banned on the journal or wha? is there a word ban list? )

Need a permanent full size Ice Rink in Dublin let’s get working on it, all suggestions welcomed please leave comments , lets start generating interest in ice skating …….

An ice rink !! Dublin is the only capital city in Europe with out one !! We have national teams who have no where to train or play matches and clubs without a rink. The sport receives no funding what so ever.

Full sized ice rink its crazy having to travel to Belfast all the time to play against other teams and now with all the rioting we cant go up ….we have national teams competing in the world championships without a full sized ice rink to train on need one big time…..

Build a life size Millenium Falcon compete with inside corridors to a tee, geeks will flock from far and wide to witness its splendor, donations would be welcome.

Cleaning up

On the fire service they need it

Get rid of all the junkies & beggars from town. The City is a disgrace

Get rid of the junkies that pollute dubli a north inner city for a start !!

Turn top floor of liberty hall into a proper observation deck. Then charge tourists money. Every tourist in dublin will go up it to avoid all the junkies. 15 adult tenner for kids. Should make 2 million again in no time. zapp!

JUST DON’T SPEND IT.

Keep the damn thing for an inevitable rainy day

As General secretary of the Celtic Clovers Ice Hockey Club I would be thrilled to see a full sized, fully functional & fully operational ice rink in Dublin. Our club has been operating through a rink a 3rd of the size of an elite level rink based in Castleknock for the past 12 months. The rink is set to close in no less then six days time and the 50 odd very talented and very committed players that we have acquired over the past 12 months since the rink has opened and since our club has been established will have no where to call home ice until a new facility re-opens (which doesn’t look very promising in the near future). Out of the 50 odd player we have we were able to send 4 of our female player to Turkey with the Women’s National Team, 6 of our Under 18′s will be traveling to Izmir, Turkey to represent the Irish U18′s National Team in the Junior World Championships this coming February and we are still hoping to send a few of our male senior player away to South Africa to compete in the Senior Men’s World Championships this coming April, but without any facility to train or play in that wont be hopeful as we will have no way for our player to better themselves without a functional rink. There is a large community of people out there like ourselves that have a very strong interest in Ice Hockey and would love to see it flourish in Ireland but for that to happen we would need support of anyone willing to help, Our club strives for the same goals as any other sports team and that is to have fun and without restriction. At this point in time this isn’t possible so i hope this massage reaches someone in power that can do something about it and hopefully they had or still have a passion the same as our own for a game we love to play.

Sincerely,

Kevin Robert,
General Secretary.
Celtic clovers IHC.

Help the priory hall residents surely?????????????

Rent Necker Island and hire Silvo as the party planner, get more whisky than you can shake a stick at and a serious about of beautiful women the rest falls into place.

We don’t need anymore vanity projects. Didn’t a woman die in a flat in Dublin a year or two ago because she couldn’t afford to heat her house? The money needs to go on projects that will assure people won’t die from easily preventable situations.

Sorting out the Priory Hall residents ASAP. DCC badly let those families down in relation to the fire safety sign-offs

Anything to improve the daily lives of the thousands of commuters who travel into Dublin everyday? For example, quays that are not actually falling into the Liffey when it rains a bit? A bus lane that busses can use? A second car lane, so the cars can get the hell out of the bus lane? A Luas without all the crazies? Seriously, moaning about the court system as you get out on the four courts stop, really!? Take your warm can of Dutch gold and go away!

There is a huge skating community in Ireland from an extremely dedicated Ice Hockey(Junior and senior) to Figure skating and recreational skaters. These sports receive no funding at present and no facilities to learn/train on. We had International women’s team in Turkey last year, U18 men this year and senior men’s in South Africa later this year, all who have to travel to Belfast for a hours training.

Dublin Needs a permanent FULL size ice rink.

I think the north inner city could do with a little revamp with emphasis on the roads that lead from The airport to the city centre .

Straight to the Casino, stick it all on Red.

Needle exchange!!!! Plant tree,s. Drug reabilation. Ya may as well burn the money. I work indirectly for D.C.C. No needle exchange so the low lifes might hold on to the one they have so innocent kids dont have to be steppin on them as soon as they leave there home. I see this on a daily basis. As usual its gonna take a kid to become H.I.V positive before anythings done… Nice green trees my ass. There ripped down or broken as soon as there put up and if we approach the mostly teenagers doing it they dont be long telling us to go ta feck (putting it politely). What should be done is spend half on rounding them all up and let them loose on the wicklow mountains and the other half spent then on black rubber pipes so ordinary decent folk can pay 5 euro then for a days hunting then and batter everyone ya find up the mountain. That 2 million would double in week,s.. Be great hen or stag party. Wha ha ha

Create a contingency fund for the freak weather that is becoming the norm. Flood defence in particular. Or Clean the gum stains off oconnell bridge.

what about spending it on euromillions

Fill up the pot holes

a load of who’ers

Loadsa freddo bars

What is the obsession with the Homeless who are, relatively, a very small segment of society. How about more in patient beds for treatment of mental health issues, including depression, alcoholism, and other addictions which affect large portions of society, the impact of which being far greater than homelessness.

Pedestrianisation of College Green

Maybe commission an Artist to make some Useless structures we can place in and around the city to show how cultured and European we are!

Hire some mercenaries to cleanse the streets of junkies

Spend it on putting an Expedition Team together to find Leitrim

Use it to buy enda Kenny a spine and a brain.

Put some extra lighting on O’Connell St.
Might make visitors at least feel a bit safer on the main street in the capital.
We could probably sell ye a few off Patrick st and still need sunglasses walking along there at night.

Lets give it to the bond holders, they’ve been starved as of late…

Build a second Spire beside the current one, connect a big bungee between them connected to a park bench; get as many politicians onto the bench as possible and sling them bastards as far out to sea as possible. I’d even pay to see it so you are actually getting more money.

Construct a flying machine

Put it towards getting an elected mayor and give them powers to ensure that budgets and policies are adhered to

How about gold stars in the pavement along O’Connell Street like they have in Hollywood. All the popular folk starting with Bertie, Cowen and Kenny could be enshrined forever….

Sponsor Rory McIlroy for a game of Pitch n Putt in The Spawell..!!

Lump 1.5 million on black, go on da piss with the rest.

Those most vulnerable and I agree in this case that the homeless come first. Otherwise, given the time of year, there have been lots of incidents of flooding which have destroyed homes. Some,of this money could be spent upgrading infrastructure to stop it happening again.

Lash that money into the Dublin bike scheme. A great idea that needs to be expanded and a great investment.

2.2 Million put the bid in for tall ships races again in 2016 economic benefit and footfall proven track record commemorate1916 with the 1 million visitors who would attend the tall ships – other option provide a permanent ice rink in Dublin – again proven interest in skating we have hockey team, figure skaters and no permanent rink

A full sized ice rink please… As a member of the Celtic Clovers IHC, we’ve been making use of a rink not even a quarter of the size of a full size rink, and progressing, so much so that some of our Ladies, men and U18 have been playing on the Irish squads, yet they’ve had to travel to Belfast for practice because that’s where the rink is.. if the rink was positioned in a good area, on bus routes, train routes etc it could be a viable business, it would also employ people to run it taking people off the dole, take kids off the street with hockey, learn to skate and figure skating lessons, keep fit lessons could be arranged..

Many youth development areas have been opened, new facilities like parks and football pitches, tennis courts, have all been opened.. This could be the next big thing. Marketed right, and put in the right spot, it could begin to start paying for its self. We are not the only Ice hockey team in the south of Ireland , and we most definitely wont be the last if there is something done about facilities in the Dublin area.

Give it to their top line staff in bonuses….oh you mean WHAT they SHOULD do rather than what they WILL do.

Celebrating Ireland’s Independence Day on the 21st,seeing as the usual media is brushing it under the carpet

Fund FASD education and prevention training in line with the recommendations of the Substance Misuse Strategy 2012 page 38.
FASD a leading cause of mental illness and addiction. 80% of those born with an FASD condition cannot live independently at 21 – homelessness. So DCC use this money for prevention !

The North docklands area could do with more playgrounds. How about some of them 1 kid seesaws at Luas stops and bus stops? Better still, how about an indoor playground in the CHQ. There is nothing else in there. It would increase foot traffic and encourage business to move in.

Fill the pot holes and update dublin buses

give it all to me. It will only be wasted otherwise.

Put a roof on the Liffey . And Instead of roads , Put slides everywhere .

Open another pub,and buy all the lads a drink.

Give it to Cork

sack the accountant, book keeper, director of finances and the bank staff.
all apparently missed this ‘slight’ error of mathematical judgement it appears.

Give it to me !!!!

Yeah, help for homeless, Definitely. And maybe give some places in CC a good wash if there’s any money left.

Pay off some of our enormous debts?

the money should be used to house the homeless on our streets, now that would be something irish instead of spending it on something insignificant. we house the imirgrants and asylum seekers but we never think of our own homeless.

A couple of homeless shelters would go far to improving life for inner city Dublin.

give equal amounts to the groups dealing with homeless issues (Focus, Simon etc) 1.2 Mio should get them at least through the winter and invest some in the solution of a tourism problem – clean, supervised public toilets in the City Centre (somewhere near Nassau Street, where all the coaches stop). By all means, charge them for use, most continental visitors are used to being charged for public toilet facilities that are clean and supervised!

Tackling the homelessness issue in Dublin would be a fantastic idea. Maybe funding city arts organisations that provide an invaluable outlet for young Dubs like Dublin Youth Theatre. If there’s anything left, extend DublinBikes scheme.

Good men. Have a meeting to spend it Asap. Maby put in in the bank, accumulate intrest and roll it out in times of emergency. Flooding. Storm damage etc. I have a feeling none of the good causes mentioned abpve of those areas that need it most will see a penny of it.

clean the Liffey out properly and renovate all the buildings to make them more modern looking

Douse the place in petrol and burn it to the ground.

Right we got it. Hello Business, Restaurants , Shops , Hotels, All the food that’s for waste , give the waste to the Homeless. The empty houses in the Ghost Estates are of no value so put the Homeless into them houses. Clear the homeless off the streets. Now we solved 3 problems all at once.

use it to build a gallows and put it on kildare st…….. ……

So do we still get to pay to live in our own houses ??what about the water bills.IF NOT USE IT TO HELP THE HOMELESS,AS ALOT OF PEOPLE WILL BE HOMELESS SOON,AS WE`VE NO MONEY LEFT TO LIVE(HOUSE TAX ,WATER ETC…..)

Give pensioners a little bonus.

Build shelter for homeless

definitely on the homeless is got a bit crazy with the amout of homeless people out there.

More free cheese & a couple more packets of those iodine tablets, they were lovely… :-/

This is a funny ol country we live in.

Hardly any tax charged to some of the biggest companies on the planet based here in ireland.
Bailing out the banks for the trouble banks got us into.
Kicking ppl out of their own homes so the very own banks we are bailing out can take them.
After the above to then put hefty taxes on the vulnerable under “austerity”
Selling out out own natural resources also for the above.
Tax breaks for the lines of business the particular politician has the vested interest in (tax free horse racing industry to name just one).
Electing in the most idiotic party with what seems like not even one of them can think for themselves and have not improved the country one bit since taking over.
Politicians being one of the highest paid on the planet.
Doctors paid one if the highest on the planet while we have one of the worst health systems for a 1st world country.

And all this while we sit their watching coronation st. moaning about the state the countries in during the add break.

Get out in your droves people, join groups, march against this. We are once again fighting for our freedom, get out, join a group and show this country that were not taking anymore crap.

Do some research as to why we are in this mess. It wasn’t us spending more than our means, it was the banks and the media and politicians making us all think we had to get huge credit and buy a new house under a hugely engineered price fixed by the globalists above.

It’s time for a real change.

Clean up o Connell bridge improve the pavements on it

I suggest it is given to SVDP.

Pull down the spire !! Clear the boardwalk of drunks and junkies! Oh and help the homeless of course .

I think all our govermnent ministers deserve brand new Audis,they have too many Beemers already and Mercs are basically taxis.They are so selfless they deserve a treat

better facilites for the homeless

Help the homeless

Give it to the Germans?

The Homeless. Everyone needs a home!!. I’m sure there’s a few empty houses around so why not put the homeless into the empty houses. Don’t waste the money in knocking them down. The homeless needs homes. Then all the homeless would be cleared off the streets of Dublin. Then Dublin would be perfect. Dublin already has the Best Roads in the EU.

Put up another spire!!

Help those who need it most !!

for OBAMAs next visit!!!??? Security.,,

Another Queens visit ? It was such a success the last time :-)

Please build NICE road for inline speed skaters ! please ! There is NONE sigle one in Dublin ! :)

Build a new playground in Nutgrove Park as its a Health and Safety hazard at this stage and has been vandalised. A shame for the young kids that go there.

Increasing/improving Housing Stock

Put the electrical pilons underground.
There’s loads of huge electricity pilons in Bluebell.

Give it to the politicians and golden circle

Bombing the place!
But on a serious note, serious homeless issues to be sorted.

Spend it on the homeless and homecare.

I think it’s should be given to the less fortunate than ourselves. Like Cork

Councillors pensions of coarse

Let the Co Co have a big party like the government no one worries about money,it will still be up to the tax payers at the end of the day

If I had even a portion of that money I would use if to finish some work that needs to be done in our building. We are the regional youth service for the north west inner city, and like everyone else in the community we are struggling.
If we had some of this money we could make the place more welcoming for all young people. If we had this sort of money it would be spent very carefully and would make a huge difference to all our youngpeople.

Spend it on children with autism
