[Thomas J Stamp]

obvious that they got out of dodge before the High Court started sitting at 11 o clock.

very nasty stuff, and (unless I am mistaken) to do it on a day where people may be actually getting their pay for the month in person (I know most no longer do) is just knifing people in the back.

and for what?

some wag said on twitter yesterday that they were praying for BAC to be hit so that the government would finally act. This is a feeling throughout rural ireland. Pat Kenny made a few Freudian slips this morning talking about Dublin bus services in Cork..... and then saying how the BE dispute hasnt affected many and so thats why it was brought to Dublin.

This is bollocks, of course, its just that RTE and the rest of the Dublin media arent interested in how the BE dispute is crippling the regional cities and the rural areas outside of Dublin and therefore "it hasnt affected anyone much"

perhaps this is why some of the more hot headed fellows in BE decided to shoot themselves in the foot today. IR workers should note that any hope they had of public support in the future just got flushed down the pan.
