IT is about time all our politicians had their expense claims posted online for everyone to see.

FOR the past week we have witnessed an unprecedented media surge in the coverage of swine flu and, unfortunately, a few hundred people have died of this dreadful disease.

IT was great to hear that after 90 years, one of the commitments of the first Dáil — State ownership — was achieved last Thursday night with the nationalisation of Anglo Irish Bank.

I AM very disappointed with the lack of progress on the regeneration project at Ballymun in Dublin.
