That last line actually made me shudder because it the kind of comment we heard out of North Mayo for the last couple of years by people who simply refused to listen to any facts, reason or unbaised reports.
Vbold, It can be elevated and still be just as built "right" as an underground line. Educate yourself about metros and look at how millions of people around the world are perfectly happy with them on elevated section in their midst. I am not being consending to you - but honestly, there is a whole world of elevated urban metro projects out there.
I would bet if the the RPA decided to go underground a whole other group of people would be screaming "New York-style subway gangs!" or "the buildings above will collaspe!!!!!!" demanding it be built above ground.
and I would bet half the ones who are currently objecting to this elevated idea would jump on that badwagon as well. Don't say this wouldn't happen either because it would.
Please do not turn MetroNorth in another Rossport5 circus or you kill the whole thing off or at best delayed for years and years. Honestly, try to think beyond your own personal expectations and consider the local and national implications of delaying MetroNorth for years and the effects it will have on your fellow Irish citizens. Please consider this before you launch a crusade against a few hundred meters of viaduct.
We expect this GAA-jersey, anti-Irish citizen selfish mindset in rural Mayo, but people in urban areas should be a lot more aware that they have to share this country with their fellow citizen and would at least understand that the needs of the society are more important than personal expectations.
