Friday November 24, 2006 00:11 by Citizen - The taxpayers of Ireland
dont mind the fast lane, what about the swim lane? As the supreme court finally settled the argument over the National Aquatic Centre, I am curious as to how much this cost me. Campus Stadium Ireland indicate on their website that this takeover is in agreement with Dublin Waterworld Ltd. Information was scant enough and little was heard about how much it cost us taxpayers to re-possess our own property. I didn't hear any reference to costs etc, a detail usually highlighted by the media at every opportunity. Surely CSID did not battle all the way to the supreme court to agree to settle on lesser terms than awarded by the courts all the way through this case. |

Jump To Comment: 3 2 1I see they are now operating at a loss of 2 million per year!
Previous operators required no subsidy. Who loses out - the TAX PAYER!
The Nac was run without subsidy by the state but now they are going to have to fund the repairs as well as cover the running cost..erm!....Is that the wisest move they have made???
I am just applying my trade here.
4 x 2.8 = 11.2
+ 11 = 22.5 million
Append legal costs: 2,000,000
= 24,500,000
Add upcoming costs for revamp, repair, reorganise, recruitment,
ball park figure 1,500,000
= 26,000,000
Chicken feed ! Sure the bridge down the road ( fondly known as the toll plaza) is gonna cost us 600,000,000 and 75% of the population never use the damned thing, except on all ireland sunday, when dublin punters are usually at a loose end :)
