He served as a non-executive director with IBRC between October 2011 and February 2013.

    Experienced teachers are like gold dust. If Ruairi Quinn is consistent he should make room for younger person

    Jim – this piece was published at 8:30 on Friday morning. The verdict in the trial of the four Gardaí wasn’t handed down until Friday lunchtime.

    8. Ireland also had the second highest rate of net emigration so the actual increase was only 12,700. If I’m reading the stats right.
