Antoine Vella. You are very right.

Also, it would take much more than a floor to provide all the space required for a parliament house built over the Man Guard. The impact on the heritage value of the building and the urban space qualities of St. George’s Square would be disastrous.

[Daphne – Try and keep up. I’ve written reams about it over the last year.]

‘gonna’ – another trade mark like ‘wake up…etc’

Shame really i really like Valletta.

Lovejoy, there is not one single coherent reason why Parliament cannot stay where it is.

There is already a moat around Valletta – it has been there ever since Valletta was built. That is why we enter Valletta over a bridge – it spans the moat.

The proposal you are referring to involved cutting a narrow channel in the already-existing moat to connect Grand Harbour with Marsamxett.

Was the Dux, the one with the black shirt, there?

Astrid Vella often suggests that Parliament would be housed in a building over Main Guard. She would be the first to raise all sorts of objections on how the new building would be impacting the old building of the main gurad.

Antoine, well, there was one Roderick Galdes, speaking o.b.o. the ‘Opposition’ rather than as the MEPA board member that he was, who did his utmost to stop Astrid Vella’s views being put across on the video that was shown. Now why would that be?
