A split decision over Mayor Ken

FRANK DOLAN’S grovelling article Why All The Irish Should Vote For Ken (Irish Post, April 26) was unbelievably patronising.  more »

Beefing up Birmingham

HAVING been reminded recently of the bovine bother on the border (The Irish Post, March 8) I was delighted to discover that beefy bragging rights are not exclusive to the residents of the Cooley Peninsula!  more »
