Great stuff! One wonders why the Corp needs a PRO at all. A useful reminder
that the failure of politicians to listen to the people is a problem the
world over.

So if Dubh Linn is Black Pool, what is Baile Atha Cliath (IIRC), and why
replace one perfectly respectable Gaelic name with another. (I bet those
English imperialists come into it somewhere ... just as well I can say my
home is in Scotland!).
