That may well be the case, Hal. The trade has never been a great contributor to the exchequer but there is no getting away from the fact that we were given an increase to €350 by Dr. Leo, clearly a man who understands Irish cultural dispositions despite being the son of an immigrant... only to have our money cut by that Mehaul cunt, a FF political who is Irish by accident of birth. Mr. Haughey musta worn his coffin out with all that turning... not to mention Mr. Lenihan, etc, etc, etc...
Bring back Dr. Leo, Dr. Leo was great so he was.
