It would seem that the extremely well paid and cossetted minister for finance is unable to place any constraint on Richie Boucher, and other such giants of banking’s, immoral and grossly over-inflated pay packets.

I went to a pharmacy to purchase flu pills.

The new property tax is almost upon us and Josephine Fehily of the Revenue Commissioners has stated that the tax will be unavoidable for all property owners. However, it is apparent that tenants will not be liable for this tax.

I WOULD like to respond to comments made by Cllr Brian Meaney from Clare (November 12) on the fees paid to pharmacists. The costs of running a pharmacy in Ireland are extremely high — close to €600,000 a year.
