Going it alone a tempting option for three counties

FOLLOWING the boycott of Limerick, Tipperary and Clare by the troika of Martin/Varadkar/Ryan in ignoring it for a senior or junior minister, should the region now withhold the billions of euro contributed to central government coffers and head for home rule? With our own university, airport and deep sea port, together with a powerhouse of employers in the region, are we better off to go it alone?

Seriously though, it’s the “greed grab” by Martin in appointing three full ministers from his own constituency that really adds insult to injury. As for Leo saying any region with a Cabinet minister in the past 10 years shouldn’t expect one every time, well in that case Cork and Dublin should have no senior or junior ministers. What a joke.
