HAPPY St Patrick’s Day! Today many pints of Guinness will be sunk to honour ‘the old country’ and celebrate Irish triumphs. And while I can’t claim to have any green in my veins, I’ve spent enough time at folk clubs and ceilidhs to have an idea of the challenges that lie in this beautiful country’s past. This weekend, as Mercury changes signs, it’s by discussing plans for the future that excitement and hope can be generated.
