Recently, I made a request to RTÉ Lyric FM regarding the duration of the contract and the salary of one presenter.

Like many people, I have donated modest sums of money to charities over the years.

I am becoming tired of the well-worn cliché: “To get the top talent, we have to offer top salaries”.

AFTER the de facto failure of the recent climate change conference in Copenhagen, I am reminded of Mark Twains dictum: “Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.”
