Are you ready for Celtic Tiger 2.0 - in Barryroe?

IF there’s anyone with an ounce of gumption living in Munster they should already be organising the importation of crate-loads of Stetsons and cowboys boots.

The O’Reillys — God bless ’em — say they’ve found a viable oil field close to the parish of Barryroe in County Cork: and this time the nation should rise as one and make sure that the assorted whingers and doom-sayers and rabid lefties don’t interfere with the party.

Second chances don’t come along too often, but now one has been dropped, fresh and still flapping, into the empty bowls of the Irish nation. Because this find doesn’t just give us security of supply or billions in tax dollars, but a chance to create Celtic Tiger 2.0 — and this time we can get it right.
