    Can we possibly call it St. Patrick's Day instead of Paddy's day?

    The current Union leadership are bereft of any common sense... whether it is shutting every airport in the country down or spoiling an annual event for thousands of families in Cork, they aren't exactly experts at keeping the public on their side to a dispute, are they?

    You can't keep the public on your side unless they're on your side to begin with. The success of the PS bashing campaign was such that the public supports slashing their wages. The PS don't need us to like them, they just want us to pay them what we agreed.
