    Shop Local, says Dundalk Chamber of Commerce flyer - printed in Newry!

    On Liveline a listener texted in that the Dundalk Argus newspaper this week has a story that the Dundalk Chamber of Commerce are urging people to shop local - on flyers printed over the border in Newry. This should be listed under the definition of irony somewhere!!

    NO WAY!!!!!

    This has to be a wind up. I suppose, you actually couldn't make that stuff up.

    For everything else there's Mastercard.

    Bit like FF telling us all to be patriotic and stop going up the north and then getting their website done with a company outside the state or not buying DELL computers anymore.

    Personally I think if we had the Troubles back again, no-one would be going up the north and the Irish economy would be saved.

    Meanwhile Clowen bought property in Leeds, and never paid the service charges. Maybe that's his idea of patriotism, not paying the bills you signed up to when the are not being paid to an Irish company.

    Ah, Brian actually makes sense.

    Brian mighn't be too far away from properties belonging to the slab murphy 'patriotic' family. they could have a chat or maybe not seeing as the slabs buy their houses by the street and might not want to associate with a one house buyer. Aren't these patriots lovely people?
