Cork fishing port

During a class in Religious Studies in West Kerry on Monday there was a discussion on our present economic situation.

A student who comes from a fishing background commented that the busiest fishing port in Ireland is Cork airport because of its large business in fish importation.

Who are the politicians, economists and 'wise men' who have allowed this to happen? The absurdity of allowing this nonsense in an island nation is bewildering.

Seemingly we are the biggest 'exporters' of bananas in Europe.

The economy is in such a serious situation it seems that what was said yesterday becomes irrelevant today.

How close are we to civil unrest and the arrival of a demagogue? Hopefully our political class are taking wise and good decisions so as to keep at bay any such disaster.
