So it looks like the shit's going to hit the fan with Brexit. I hope I'm wrong, but any other outcome looks unlikely. And a hard Brexit will affect us as much as Britain. Germany and France ... not so much. I've been very unimpressed with Leo during the negotiations. He was more interested in...

Another unfortunate man killed near Macroom today, with a second young man critical in hospital. Add that to the death at Waterloo last week. There is little to say other than offer our deepect sympathies to the families involved. There is something we can do though - and that is highlight the...

I heard Michael Martin on the radio the other morning and I nearly threw up. Him and his crew act like they know we'll all forget what they did. PLEASE don't forget what they did. And the same guys that utterly failed to do their job and govern the country, are still running that party. They'd...
