Bono and Bob sing dumb on issues nearer home

FROM time to time we hear a lot of hot air from the super-rich Bono and Bob Geldof on the elimination of world poverty, but when it comes to their homeland, nothing of significance or merit.

When, for example, can we expect them to say something in favour of the Hill of Tara?

At the moment these two maturing figureheads of our pop/celebrity culture are no more than the mouthpieces of a corrupt political culture.
