Well in my opinion having to vote again on the Nice Treaty is an unneccessary inconvenience. Surely the public have better thing to be doing on a saturday afternoon.

What about the inconvenience caused when the governemtn decide to hold a party for their capitalist friends in Dublin castle and every road in the centre of Dublin is closed.

The IGB workers have not recieved one penny of redundency pay, while crooks like Haughey and Burke are on handsome ministerial pensions that are beyond the wildest dreams of most ordinary pensioners.

They get golden handshakes we get a kick in the teeth.
