Remarkably sensible article on realities and the politics of TORL.

Excellent article.

Can't believe that Mick Wallace wrote it all on his own, but fair play to him. Perhaps he's straightened himself up a bit since the Revenue had a word with him. But, hey, let's not be churlish. He's going in the right direction. And in fairness there are precious few other TDs* prepared to put their head above the parapet on this issue.


(* honourable exception, as always, Senator David Norris, National Treasure.)

Good hatchet job on TORL by mick Wallace in Usually reliable TORL mouthpiece Irish Examiner

Maybe Claire gave him a hand. She's far more articulate!

Most of the SWP, People Before Profit etc all are against TORL.

Unfortunately, they have the reputation of being Agin' Everything.

The fact that quite a lot of the time they're right makes very little difference. Most of the public don't listen to them :(
