I see no useful purpose for my blog so I am closing it down shortly. Even though I have had over 4000 hits there were very few comments so I have excited very little
real interest.
I see our proud country to be bankrupt, financially, and bankrupt of ideas. There was a lot that I wasn’t happy with in my short blog life but I seem to be alone seeing the few comments that I have received.
Among the things that concerned me over my Blog life were:
What is feeling the Pain?
Dirty Politics
Willie O Dea
Tax Breaks for Speculators
Bryan Dobson’s interview of George Lee
Trollies in Naas General Hospital
Georges’ Quay Kildare Bus Terminal( since moved to Connolly Station) Success!!
Structure on the Protected Bank of Ireland building in Naas.
Bad planning on Main Street Naas
Kildare County Council Junkets
Head shop in Naas
Lack of gritting of Naas Footpaths during the snow
Fair Play for all
December Budget NOT fair to all.
etc, etc, etc.

As I am reach the age of three score and ten I maintain my inner youth and continue to feel concern about how bad the country has been treated by those in Authority, the Politicians, the Church, and the Banks. Our children will be affected by the mismanagement of our economy during the Celtic Tiger years.
But I am realistic enough to know that writing a Blog will not have the slightest effect on corrupt and in competent politicians, or the covering up of Child Abuse by members of the Hiararchy, or inaction by health authorities in the face of neglect and incompetence.
The ordinary person is treated with contempt and is expected to pick up the tabs to pay for the mismanagement of our country by the Government. In my Blog I attempted to take on these issues but lost. I now leave it to other people but with little confidence.
To those who have read my Blog I hope that you have found something of interest and to those who commented, I say Thank You. I hope that some of you have got information from my Blog that you have found of value.
I now will return to privately to doing the things that I enjoy doing, walking,travelling,Silver Smithing, gardening,reading, going to the theatre, attending international Rugby matches, listening to music, and spending time with my family and friends.
Having read the last paragraph, it seems that I am being very selfish and not having any inclination to put anything back in to Naas, my adopted town. But then can anyone deny that I have tried because I have, and been rejected.
