    Catherine Byrne rumoured to be getting a gig with Community Rural Affairs. That's the buzz (a bit of earwigging) here anyways.

    Can you ask Enda does he not think people will reject this new frontbench with Bruton NOT as Finance?

    It has always amazed me why political parties spend (waste ?) money hiring out hotel rooms and conference halls.

    Is there nowhere in the Dail where this can be announced/presented ?
