Unfortunate in that he wasn't fully bricked in and left at the time, or am I missing something in the picture?

Looks like the Ivor is gone from today...what comes around goes around.  I bet he'd be wanting tinted windows on his house now to hide in shame.  Perhaps Paul Construction can help!!!!biglaughbiglaughbiglaughbiglaugh

I'm so happy!!!!!!

Hi All....I am in agreement with most of you on this one where the Gov are going for the "Soft Target" again but I also think it is a wasted statement as they will have no way of defining what is "Loud" or what is "Unlawful" on a modified Corsa....personally it is not my bag but there are two cars flicking around near me that are A) really well done and a lot of time and money has been spent and B) any time I have seen them cruising around they are hardly "racing"....too much money spent on the nice paint job I guess. I wish I had the time and the cash to do to my car some of the stuff they do to theirs :-))....I think it also shows that some young lads have both application and take pride in their cars which will only manifest itself later in life when they are driving a family car etc,....maybe the Gov should take a closer look at themselves (building conversions etc) as the so called Boy Racers hardly constitute a crime againts the state do they.

Cheers Keith O'S

There is an interesting article in todays Irish Times about his holiday home in Co. Cork and the various planning applications etc he has been involved in.
he might be able to advise nn_dd for his garage (Building Garage Any Advice ?)

Bless him and his stupid ideas - now he can have as many as he wants and at least we won't have to pay for them!!  If only a few more of them would fall through the net!

I decided to ask the Department of Transport the following:-
Quote Does the owner of the site, www.ivorcallely.ie, have written permission to use the Department of Transport Logo?
Does this same site owner have written permission to use the Harp symbol (as far as you may be aware)?
Does the owner have written permission to use a Department of Transport email address? Is the email address ivorcallely@transport.ie active and who recieves email delivered to this address?
Does the site owner have written permission to use the address (and associated phone and fax numbers) [Department Office, Department of Transport, Office of the Minister of State, 25 Clare Street, Dublin 2] as a contact address?

I feel it is my civic duty

I reject that accusation entirely. It suggests that I like him a tiny bit.
For the record, I don't like him at all.

well by omitting the transport stuff, that just asks whether he can use the Harp. Still a valid question though.
However, Im really interested in the Sept stuff (logo, email addy, postal addy, phone & fax)
