How dear oil is good news for Government

ISN’T is ironic that all Fianna Fáil could come up with from their holiday in Cavan was ‘social engagement.’ They want us all to get out there, get involved and talk to each other.

In the same week, with rising oil prices, various affected groups wanted to talk to them about the tax on fuels. The talk was short. Both Micheál Martin and Brian Cowen told us all to shop around.

Forgive me for stating the obvious to these two geniuses, but shopping around costs both time and the precious petrol at €1.30 a litre. Of course, neither Brian nor Micheál spends a moment shopping around for anything, so what would they know.
