Thank God Cullen is Still With Us!

Martin Cullen, our dear Republic's heroic Minister for Tourism, could have died!

The minister, who is not incompetent, was travelling in an Air Corps helicopter this past weekend when a door fell off. Costing only €8,000 to bring him from Waterford to Kerry and on to Dublin, this trip has been criticised by some as wasteful. (More about it in today's Irish Independent.)

Begrudgers — and you know who you are — will say Cullen already has a State Mercedes and ties up two GardaĆ­ as chauffeurs. These same begrudgers will probably redden with indignation as they point out that an Aer Aran aerfaer from Dublin to Kerry is less than €50. These begrudgers would probably go ballistic when they find out that their taxes are about to shoot up to pay for the economic mismanagment and corruption engineered by Cullen and his ilk.

I have just one thing to say to those same bitter, little people: 2002 & 2007. Where will you be in 2012?
