Year of the Goat butts in for healthy New Year

IT’S time to pay off your debts and get set for a some hard graft for those born in the Chinese Year of the Goat, but at least you will have your health.

Ireland’s Chinese community is looking forward to the Year of the Goat butting out the Year of the Horse tomorrow night because, according to Dr Catherine Chan Mullan, president of the Irish Chinese Information Centre in Dublin, while it was a good year for making money, it was bad for the health.

The Year of the Goat is going to be much better, she predicts. “It will be a hard working year but a very healthy one,” she said.
