RPA don't want to know

This is the link for the public to submit comments to the RPA on the proposed metro on the RPA web site:

http://www.rpa.ie/404/404.asp?404;ht...pp/content.asp

I'll let you draw your own conclusions

The link is http://www.rpa.ie/metro/ndp_ppp/content.asp?id=78

Which becomes

http://www.rpa.ie/404/404.asp?404;ht...pp/content.asp

Once again the incompetence is shocking

Or could it be the 'Public Sector Hiring Freeze' which prohibits the hiring of new staff? It could be that Cullen will not give them the funding to hire staff to assess the responses.

Either way it is a disgrace that the EIA directive in relation to consultation is being flouted.

Very poor.

The page you want is

http://www.rpa.ie/?id=78 once you understand the RPA site its easy as the original url can't exist http://www.rpa.ie/metro/ndp_ppp/content.asp?id=78

The simple schematic is here http://www.rpa.ie/content.asp?id=299 again the link on the RPA site http://www.rpa.ie/cms/htmleditor/content.asp?id=299 is impossible

Unless you spend ages designing content management systems you haven't got a hope in working that out. I'm reliably informed the errors on the site are human its not the software

It may be human error, but it does show a certain lack of care - it wouldn't take long to test the links after posting the article. They seem to do this on a regular basis. I've also seen them post telephone numbers with only six digits.
