An engineer from the Council was on the television a short time ago explaining that the flooding along the Shannon is caused by the fact that rainwater wants to flow to the sea. You can’t beat a good technical education, gives a young fella a great edge over everybody else..

I don’t believe the flood caused the accident.

Someone told me that the the local is reporting that the ESB unleashed thousands of gallons of water into the Shannon and that’s the reason the “tree” did an Enya (sail away, sail away. sail away) ? Can anyone confirm this? Our poor old eco friendly tree.Do you know that it is powered completly from the eyelashes and scrotums of recently deceased, bi-sexual Cambodian oranguatans. You’ll find no carbon footprints attached to our tree.How much did it cost to hire all those cranes to haul a steel cage out of the water?

It’s probably as well not to jump to conclusions yet. It could have been a contractor who was installing the tree when it broke away and the salvage operation is probably covered by someone’s insurance.

That’s supposed to be a tree?

I thought it was the box the fucking tree came in.

Tree my bollix!
Spoke with one of the ‘Team’ responsible last night; idiot insisted it was a terrible thing to happen to the corpo’s lovely tree! Seems there are somewhere in the region of fifty or so people involved in getting us this so called tree every year. Limerick’s version of a quango perhaps.
Fuck ‘em and the tiger they rode in on!

Thanks for keeping this post updated – you’re ‘way ahead of the local radio and papers.
