We need a bank of land on each island for...

Éamon Ó Cuív: I have been arguing that one for 30 years. I remember one night being on Vincent Browne's programme and he asked me why I did not take the train. I said there was no train to Corr na Móna. Why did I not take the bus? I said there was no bus to Corr na Móna. Game, set, match. Another reason among many I never took the train was that after 7 p.m. I do not think there is any...
