Reaction to Budget 2005

Madam, - I see the recent Budget has received the imprimatur of CORI. Surely this is proof positive - indeed, the claim is now irrefutable - that this Government (sans McCreevy) has gone all touchy-Healy.

By the bye, is there any truth in the rumour that all future Fianna Fáil ard-fheiseanna are to be held at Inchydoney? - Yours, etc.,
