Remember to check out the alcoves.

Who gets arrested for what where is truly baffling.

I would hope that the Revenue Commissioners will be taking a careful look at some of those involved in the blockades to ensure they are in full compliance with their tax obligations.

Part of the problem with our political system is that it is based on the economy from 50+years ago rather than now when agriculture accounts for about 4% of employment. Which other minister apart from agriculture acts as a advocate for their sector?
