Dublin (CNN) – Many of the world's airports are evolving from origins as mass transit hubs into economic powerhouses. Dublin has similar ambitions for its own gateway. The Irish capital is using its airport facilities as a carrot to attract green businesses. CNN's Jim Boulden flew into Dublin Airport's shiny new Terminal 2 for a closer look. |

Somebody should have told CNN that the rail link to the airport ( as shown in the clip) has been shelved due to the state of the Irish economy
Project like these could work if it is done by private initiative. But getting a burly bunch of bureaucrats involved, spending other people's money (and in this case borrosed money the future generations will have to repay), this is simply contrary to economic principles. We need less – much less – government.
Here's a suggested response to Harry Reid from Eric Cantor:
Come on Cantor...basketball analogy? That's for sissys...
I'll take your 1 year extension AND the pipeline but I raise you with an increase on taxes for the top 1% of your "friends"...
Your turn...
BTW, tell one of your "friends" Issa that he better kiss his re-election plans bye bye...Happy Hannukah!!!

I love the ease of flying in and out of Dublin!
Those designs by The O'Toole Partnership look fantatstic.
Very contemporaray and 'green'.
These are the same architects who renovated the Old Central Terminal Building in Dublin Airport
and who designed the fantastic Beacon South Quarter area in Sandyford, Dublin.
They are at the cutting edge, in a cutting edge city.
I am a big admirer of The O'Toole Partnership.
They combine a technical expertise with human scale designs that people relate to.
Paddy O'Toole is a poet architect with a great sense of commercial realism, who surrounds himself
with very talented creative people. The designs for Dublin Airport City look amazing, and we are very familiar in London with both their Beacon Court and Beacon South Quarter schemes. Thet have created a small utopia in the Dublin mountains.
Yeah. I've seen the Beacon South Quarter development.
It will be nice if they ever finish it.
Hi my name is Robert Twomey and the reason that you shloud pick me and my 4 friends is because I am a 2nd row just like Paul O’Connell and I play for the 1st Year CBC A team in Cork. I am a hard worker, I learn quickly and could really use some tips and pointers on how to be the best lock just like Paul. My friends and I work very hard at every session and I know they would enjoy and benefit from the experience just as much as I would, and it would be a fantastic experience to meet a complete legend! One of my goals is to make the Munster Schools team and I know this would definitely help me along the way to achieving my goal!My preferred location would be Limerick.Thanks very much!
