Seen Martin announcing 300 more highly paid jobs for his beloved Belfast earlier.

Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said: "Tullett Prebon creating 300 new jobs and choosing to locate their new technology centre here is terrific news. The new jobs will offer an average salary of £33,000, providing excellent opportunities for graduate and experienced IT professionals as well as school leavers."

Shame he couldn't try to do more for his hometown.

Will we ever sit in a new, redeveloped Brandywell? Its the least they could throw us scumbags down here, isn't it? Its not like we are asking for £8mill like the Glens got.

A few weeks back word had come back that the Council was putting it back to tender as the 3 contractors in for the job was over budget. I believe this was already in the Journal in the last few weeks (according to Greengo on Monday). Has anyone seen this re-advertised?

It's not in the councils list of tenders, so no idea where they advertise it.

Councils hands, don't think they do much other than sit on them.
Their priority is Health & Safety, that is of their jobs. They have some great workers who don't have the clout to be effective in managing loafers. Gerry mandering was supposed to have gone but it may have taken another form.

Indeed, the old bigoted "londonderry corporation" would have had the brandywell project done by now and thats saying something.

I assumed the reference to the meeting was a typo, as I can't see any way anyone in the council would be working on a Sunday ! :D

Some contractors have inflated prices for work, so even though I want the development to go ahead I don't want to be held to ransom for it. These council lists of contractors should be widen to get the best deal for us while at the same time cut out the brown envelope brigade.

Surely if you put it out to tender, those interested put in their bid and you go with the lowest price from a competent contractor ? So if some others inflate their tender prices it doesn't matter - you still go with the lowest competent price.

Unless there's collusion between those tendering in order to rig the prices. Very hard to prove if it happens, very serious if it does.
