O’Conall Street

Many across Ireland will be glad to hear that John and Pat Hume’s car crash yesterday evening was not a serious one and that we can look forward to seeing them both up and about very soon.

This St Patrick’s weekend all our elder statesmen are making the news. Big Ian is calling for St Patrick’s day to me made an official public holiday in Northern Ireland and Seamus Mallon is in the Sunday Tribune which reports on his opposition to a FF - SDLP merger. Martin is in the states drumming up support for the investment conference. As for his southern colleagues in government, you’ll find them anywhere but here on home turf. The annual sales show on our big day is well underway. I fully support them. For one day a year our small island is the talk of the globe. No better time to try and build commercial and diplomatic relations.

I’m off for a trot around Belfast in the sun. Vic square looks great and the preparations for tomorrow’s parade have passed without controversy. Enjoy the day off (and I hope you do have a day off) and remember you can always join the celebrations in Second Life.
