Sir, – In light of the moonlit removal of the Occupy protest against the financial culprits who left half a million “disemployed” and our emigration figures locked on 70,000 per annum – while no golden handshake has been disturbed – should we rename our national holiday the Sainted Bankers’ Day?
Or do we stay as we are, and reinvent it as our sub-prime bondage tribute to St Patrick’s original arrival as a coerced slave? Or do I blaspheme? – Yours, etc,
Sir, – Now that the Occupy Dame Street camp has been dismantled by gardaí (Breaking News, March 8th), the Central Bank plaza will be available for binge drinking ahead of the St Patrick’s Day parade.
Thank goodness for health and safety issues. – Yours, etc,
