IT’S interesting to observe the behaviour and reactions of the various parties concerned with the ongoing Aer Lingus/Shannon debacle.

IN its defence of the controversial redevelopment of Greystones harbour, Wicklow County Council trotted out the usual clichéd hyperbole about “world class” facilities and a “rejuvenated” facility.

IN the light of the hullabaloo surrounding Tara and M3, perhaps it’s perhaps timely to examine some of Taoiseach’s remarks in the past regarding the whole issue of heritage in this country.

I WAS a little bemused by the Central Bank’s latest warning for wage restraint.

IN relation to the ongoing M3/Hill of Tara debacle, perhaps it’s now high time to have the disreputable Government responsible for all of this ‘preserved by record?’

HAVING occasion to visit Cork for a family wedding, I decided to undertake my own small version of a grand tour during the few days I had and was, once again, overwhelmed by the rich cultural heritage we are lucky to possess in this country.

THE news of the discovery of a site of major archaeological importance in the Tara-Skryne Valley is exciting.
