    Status Orange?
    The Orange Order must be taking over.
    Joking aside.
    As I said before, there is nothing more spectacular than watching the irresistible force of the Atlantic Ocean throwing itself at the immovable object called the West of Ireland.

    Get the CEOs of the FAI, IFA, Rehab, Siteserve, Nama, Irish Rail, AIB, BOI, Anglo, Leo Varadkar, HSE, Central Bank etc to sort out the weather. They have procedures, processes, a way forward, transparency, good team around them, etc etc Surely these miracle workers can stop a few gusts of wind for a few bob.
