Tric Kearney: 'A few months previous ye man's car had sailed through its NCT. Fully believing my slightly battered old car is better than his, I wait for news"

FROM my earliest tree-climbing days, I believed I was equal to any boy and went out of my way as a young girl to prove it. Today, supposedly all grown up, my opinion remains unchanged and I continue to argue the fact if challenged.

However, if I were to be truthful, I’d have to admit I’m not quite the shouting feminist at home, especially when it comes to bringing out the bins, DIY or looking after my car. Yer man does it all and, to give him his due, he does it very well or so I thought until recently when I came upon a Garda checkpoint.
