    Every business in Ennis has been a victim of crazy council rates. That council doesn’t understand the meaning of supporting business. Trump is over this week. Maybe he might give them a lecture on how to grow businesses

    Every haulage business in the country has had some experience of crime, be it in Ireland or abroad & when it happens overseas we are then the victims of police incompetence or sanction because of the crime perpetrated against us. No help or assistance from the dept of transport or foreign affairs just to add insult to injury.
