Big screen proposed for Belfast

Would someone hire a commisioner for good taste for Belfast City Council?! They are proposing to put a big screen up at the City Hall. Why? There is already one in Shaftesbury Square and no one ever bothers with it. And if the City really does need one why put it there. City Hall is probably one of the most recognisable buildings in the whole of the province and people already congregate around it. With the Big Wheel, the statues and the tour round the inside of the Hall there is sufficient to attract people there. Also with the credit crunch and the scandalous amounts of electricity needed to power this thing further messing up the environment I just wonder is this really a good time to be putting a massive goggle box up? For me this shows how politicians have a startling knack for inventing new ways to waste the electorate's money and how they see they have to dumb down to get folks into city hall. People wouldn't be interested in coming to see Belfast's most famous building unless we give them chewing gum for the eyes! It beggars belief for me. If they really must have a screen in the grounds only use it for special events and take down that daft one from Shaftesbury Square which is a potential distraction for drivers and use it!
