Ballymaloe and the begrudgers

ENOUGH is enough. We are running true to form as a nation of begrudgers!

The Allen family have done much to promote Ireland at home and abroad. With so many businesses slowing down some through chicanery it's evident that we have become too big for our boots and compassion is no part of our make-up?

How is it that Tim Allen's name was noised abroad from the beginning while others remain anonymous until tried?

One cannot argue from the particular to the general, but the Ballymaloe enterprise must not be allowed to be affected adversely in the long term. They are not making money out of somebody else's misfortune and I hope the media will take the hint and leave the family alone. "Crucify Him!" should have no place in a so-called Christian society.
