snams wrote: » I respect your opinion but I think that you’re so wrong. As we all know, not everything revolves around Dublin and in some areas, the reserves will have to travel a lot to get to their stations. I know someone that have to travel 80km every week to do its 4 hours as required and that’s 52 times a year. Maths much?

I don’t know what your story is, but as I can see you are on this board only for a while and the person your are looking in the mirror at, is very very bitter. I’ll appreciate if you’ll have the courtesy to be more courteous.
