I’m won over by the wisdom of Pat Joe

Pat Joe approached me at the heart of the Farmers’ Market in Killaloe last Sunday, and he spoke more real wisdom to me in less than five minutes, under the bright sharp sunshine on the banks of the Shannon, than was uttered in the Dáil during the past month and more, since things started to go astray for both our Government and the Opposition.

He’s a mighty talker, is Pat Joe, being a Tipperary man from just across the bridge, and I have always found him well worth listening to. I wonder what ye think.

Maybe I enjoy him so much because he often covers the kind of factual territory, normally less trodden, that I like to venture into myself here, and elsewhere.
