The recent media analysis of last weeks budget has left a sour taste in a lot of mouths in the village. The “experts” go on about their married couple with two kids on 60,000 euro a year with a 300,000 euro mortgage being 2000 euro better off; what about the single man living alone with a few acres of land and a small herd of cattle?
No, sure we don’t matter.
And then there's the Nally case and the whole world thinks we are as mad as Pat Dineen's retarded sheep dog. (His name is Top, he wakes up every morning see's his own tail, and chases it around in circles until night fall.)
We're not all running around with loaded shotguns, (only some of us), and all travellers aren't criminals. most of them just want a bit of cash for an honest(ish) days work.
Ah sure the Dublin media think we're all just after crawling out of the bogs down here. They like to look down their noses at us - they think the world revolves around that dirty congested traffic jam they call a city. Roight?
Sure it’s the same with the weather – a puff of wind down in Dublin and the whole country is on hurricane alert.
