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.)

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
