British Irish Council

What would you do with the £125,000 that has been spent on the British Irish Council jolly that has been taking place at The Fermain Valley Hotel today......For me it would be spent on paying the salaries of two fulltime staff at the respite care home for people with learning disabilities...this sum would in all probability pay a decent wage to 2 staff for three years providing a much needed more regular service to parents of adults and children with learning disabilities......do you think spending all this money for a bit of back slapping is acceptable when services for islanders are being cut and our cheif minster is talking about tax rises ...

Its all crap a load of suits chatting about more crap ...........If they do need to meet ( which i doubt they do ) why can't meet at the white rock cafe and what is wrong with the internet . I passed the fermain htl today i didn't realise that we had that many police here , who do these peeps think they are , ah silly me "Gods that's it .
