October 11, 2005 Watching the paint dry... As Tony Blair and Bertie Ahern meet today, the top of the agenda will be the IRA. However, there is little prospect of anything moving until the Unionists are convinced that the IRA has effectively gone away for good. As Tommie Gorman pointed out on Morning Ireland this morning, the generation of wish lists is something of an art form, compromise isn't. Welcome to the realm of watching paint dry. the generation of wish lists is something of an art form This highlights the selfish interests of SF and DUP who appear to be concerned only with self-promotion, giving their spin and hype on the issues they believe will bring them electoral gains. I wonder…, when they each met with Tony last week, how long did they discuss the introduction of water charges here? Posted by: Zorro at October 11, 2005 10:17 AM |
