THE NORTHSIDE RAILWAY STATION CON

The politically fashionable demand for a second (north) Drogheda railway station would, if it was conceded, add massively to peak rush-hour vehicular traffic on either the Newfoundwell or Ballymakenny Roads – depending where the mooted railhead was located.

THE RAZ REILLY SCANDAL

DROGHEDA BOROUGH COUNCIL  with the full support of every elected local Fianna Fail, Fine Gael and Labour councillor, as well as local Fine Gael T.D. Fergus O’Dowd, will have spent a potential 2 million euro of public money in court costs and legal fees to force  59-year old fireman Patrick “Raz” Reilly to retire, by the time the council’s  Supreme Court appeal  against Raz’s (2008) watershed High Court victory is decided.
