Three classics just from today to get us going

Minister Noel Ahern is up in arms about rising house prices which he now suspects might have involved speculators. You don't say? Where could he be getting this idea from? He wouldn't be in a job that involves housing would he?

Senator Tom Morrissey is looking for action, action, I says ya! on bus reform. Bus reform isn't a bad idea per se, but saying we should wait in rain while Tom and friends stamp their feet and have it out with Martin Cullen is a bit much don't you think?

Martin Brady TD for Dublin North East is looking for a crackdown on drivers using their mobiles. A crackdown, and only a day before the use of them becomes an offense. What was the cause of his silence on the issue over the last 9 years?

You hit the nail on the head about Morrissey. Public transport is platform for ideological nitpicking for the PDs but we are left waiting.

A good article about the various transports spokespeople recently in the Irish Times which I commented on here:
