Salt in the wound

ANY government worth its salt should be able to handle two inches of snow.

Blaming storms and freezing temperatures in other countries for the lack of salt in Ireland is like blaming the failure of our economy on other countries, which the Government did.

If ministers could meet their constituents on the icy roads around the country, they would definitely get a frosty reception. Take advice from the Government with a grain of salt, if you can find any.
