Dear @Forbes , I wonder what @patrickc and @collision make of the scurrilous article by your contributor @DisruptionHedge about their home town, Limerick? Damaging, defamatory and disappointing.

Out for a walk this evening in Ardnacrusha, Co Clare, and I was laughed at by a group of 10 teenage boys when I told them they shouldn’t be hanging out together. They and their parents are letting the community down. @CathalCroweTD @ClareFM @ClareChampion @ClareCoCo

A family of 4 would pay €144 to see The Gaiety Panto tomorrow night. The Late Late Toy Show was viewed by more than 1.2 million people. That was one show out of RTÉ’s year-round output across TV, radio, and online. The TV license is €160. That’s value for money.
