I like Fethard a lot, it's a town that, in some respects, has remained true to itself over the years. Time has been kind to it and a lot of the old town is still in evidence today.

According to the papers today, Government spending is to rise by a further 10% next year. They plan on spending approximately €54bn (that's €54,000,000,000) next year to keep this country running.

I look around every day and I honestly don't see it.
