I hope and pray that the perpetrators of this wanton act of vandalism will be brought to justice in the near future. I wonder about the mindset of these people and I am obliged to ask whether they have minds at all.

I was glad to read the article in today's Irish Independentstating that Ireland has been rated fifth in the top ten countries in the world to visit next year. This points to the attributes we have as a nation and the welcome we have for the visitor, and it augurs well for tourism next year and in the years to come.
