I feel this is inappropriate. Nobody rejoices at this sad situation but we must face the situation in human terms.

I find it appalling that once again in Pakistan three workers implementing a polio programme should be shot dead yesterday. It started a couple of days ago, with a brave young woman who was part of this programme being murdered by these savages. There is no other word for them, given they could do this to somebody who was actually preventing disease. I hope the ambassador will be made aware of the concerns of Irish people in this matter.

I have come to dislike the institution of banking, in particular the people who direct its operations. I believe we should protest at Bank of Ireland putting a 2% increase on credit cards-----
