I remember the "spongers" comment. It was a reference to the EMPLOYED people who were running the country and threatened to close it down. No mean feat which they nearly achieved had Wilson not caved in. The Divis project failed, the people would have been happier living in "ghastly hovels on national assistance" and today we have a nation of whiners who have not the courage to break the mould. The 1991 proposal to leave the residents in situ whilst the complex was demolished would have worked.

Similar to the story of how Ballymun Flats in Dublin were built.
