    Well done for everyone involved. I might well take the opportunity to visit the city for the first timein 2013.
    The Mahon Tribunal found Olivia Mitchell to have received an inappropriate payment from Frank Dunlop at the time of the 1992 Election. F.G. Gael has taken no action against her.

    How is it the first? Liverpool was city of culture in 2008. Technically Liverpool is in the UK.
