It’s not healthy to go out of your way to annoy yourself, but should you be so inclined, I recommend a stroll. Specifically, I recommend a stroll in Dublin from the corner of Dawson Street and Nassau Street, around Trinity College, through College Green, and then directly to the nearest pub to drown your sorrows.

Spokespeople from Transport Infrastructure Ireland, or the Luas Cross City Project, or Dublin City Council, can defend what has happened here all they want, but the results are plain to see.
