    I feel cheated when I clicked on the article at the main list, the thumbnail picture looked bit different to the first picture I saw after opening it. Come on journal.

    What happened today?

    How the hell has thejournal not published an article on the biggest thing to happen today i.e. the Taoiseach REFUSING to hold a referendum to ensure Irish Water stays in public ownership??

    FFS even Denis O’Briens online news sites are running the story

    Since when is a semi-state company a constitutional issue? It’s a legislative issue. Wanna do the same with Coillte, Bord na Mona, DAA our minority stake in Aer Lingus?! The Constitution should not be abused for political purposes.
