Even Christmas TV Can No Longer Bring Divided Britain Together Tue Dec 23, 2025 07:00 | Steven Tucker
Gone are the days where Christmas TV on three channels brought the nation together. Now, when some Muslims believe The Snowman is akin to gay porn (no, really), Britain is just too divided, says Steven Tucker.

Why Governments Love Raising the Minimum Wage ? Because it?s Really a Tax Mon Dec 22, 2025 15:36 | Mark Ellse
Why do governments of all parties love raising the minimum wage? It may seem generous, but really it's a tax, says Mark Ellse. The low-paid worker keeps just one sixth of the increase. 85% goes to the government.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6Those socialists, central planning fetishists, communist die hards and cranks of all kinds were opposed to Knock Airport from the begining especially the Labour party who dream of a utopia in which there is only one airport run by one company operating single airline with the Shamrock on the tailfin so we can be proud of being 100% Irish.
Horan forced those bastards to free up our economy and sparked the revolution in business practices in Ireland that gave us the Celtic Tiger.
could I push you to outline to the readership in a succint comment / update, your knowledge on some important issues relating to possible and plausible future anarcho-syndicalist co-operation with (and/or) frustration of local, national, regional, provincial, international (and/or) corporate, semi-state, state partnership, (and/or) small business, self-employed or otherwise commercially engaged in afore-mentioned West Airport Knock (Connaught Regional Airport / Horan International Airport / Knock International Airport ) -
Has it been good for Horses?

& I note Mr Keith "cyber savvy" Councillor elected by non-Labour voters, that the website of West Airport Knock is still at the domain of http://www.knockairport.com/

2 choices -
1) BOSS Airport.
2) CJ Haughey Airport.
& councillor caudillo, you never explained if you as a publically elected representative on an independent mandate who has now joined a party your voters did not choose to vote for... believe Mary, st. John the evangelist and St Joseph really appeared on the gable end of the pub in 1879?
No doubt Cllr Caulidro would contend that he got a Martin mandate not an Independent mandate. He is welcome to the team anyway!
Why are people so concerned with what name Knock airport has? People don't fly there for choice, they fly there because it is cheap so call it what you like. Knock airport is the most pointless airport I have ever flown to as it isn't really near anywhere I want to go to and its biggest fault is that it has no public transport to talk of, what an environmental disaster it is. Why can't the ten euro departure tax be used to subsidise public transport links to Galway and Sligo? I recently had to hire a 7 seater 2litre car to drive myself wife and daughter to Galway. I joined a long queue of visitors at the very long queue for car hire to hire a car to join a convoy of cars to Tuam and Galway. Until Knock gets its environmental policies in place it shouild be renamed Knock Hertz Murphy Avis Budget (inter) National Airport
I am delighted to see the board of Knock Airport ruling out the US military flights or fueling at the airport here in Mayo.
The airport is a great success in its own right and while the US has been good to Ireland, in its own way, its foreign policy and invasion of Iraq is disgraceful. Its continued blockading of Cuba, while it trades with China, its condemnation of Chavez while it props up dictators all over the world and the untold death and destruction in Iraq make helping, aiding or even facilitating the US military a repellent idea.
The board has said it would only ever facilitate military flights if they were for humanitarian purposes. In a statement, it said that any flights involving US military personnel "would have to have the support of both the Government and the United Nations". The board said it believed firmly that any military operation, not supported by both the Government and the UN, was "not compatible with the mission and aims of the airport".
