For one so Patriotic.....you have a damn stupid name, and I take offence to your suggestion that people who leave the country have no right to have a say about what goes on in Ireland or castlebar for that matter. I've lived in Castlebar for most of my life and I've recently left the country, but I still have family and friends in Castlebar therefore still a huge interest in what goes on there, if I didn't then I wouldn't be on this BB. I'm not saying I or anyone else who has left the country are as qualified to give opinions about Ireland or Castlebar, but If you consider the way some people are back home, they don't even know whats going on in their own back garden never mind in castlebar at least from abroad I take an interest. Besides I believe that getting opinions from outside the country make this BB more enjoyable and objective. One other point Europat we might have developed our own economy, but just you remember that most of that was done by giving incentives to a lot of american and other countries companies to set up camp in Ireland and if half of those companies left, our economy would be f****d!!OK Bye.
