   DUP at the envelopes, SF at the ink cartridges, which are the biggest wasters of taxpayers money? (we won’t count MLA’s use of DLA cars)

7. Comment on Without a new approach to Education, the Minister is condemned to micromanaging micro outcomes…

   Of course you did, Mick, sorry about that, first para blindness, syndrome.
   Had a listen to the program and O’Dowd was more bluster than anything else while McKay did try to deal with the substance.
   It is amusing just how often SF threaten the law on people nowadays and how they don’t seem to follow through.

   O’Dowd does not speak in that clip, Mick. It’s easy to remember O’Dowd more and more stepping forward to take the flack for Caitriona Ruane and here we now have McKay doing the very same for Mr O’Dowd, good old deja vu.

9. Comment on “are you serious?” – redux
   on 7 May 2012 at 10:55 pm

   Old Morality, “Has anyone ever heard of anybody else being called “Ó Muilleoir” ?
   You have a point there, it is surely a rare name. MacLysaght, an acknowledged expert on Irish family names and writer of books such as ‘Irish Families Their Names Arms and Origins’ and ‘More Irish Families.’ describes Miller and Millar as being among the commonest English, Scots and Welsh names found in modern Ireland. He also explains that many Gaelic names have been Anglicised and gives examples such as Smiths from MacGowan, Clarke from O Clereigh, and King from Conroy but Miller does not come under this and O Muilleoir is not mentioned in any of his writings.
