But what really grinds my gears is he's in the council more than 30 years and hasn't been made mayor because he wishes to not join the pact. Surely common sense should prevail here. No disrespect for Mary Roche but wouldn't it be a nice gesture after all the years service.

Waterford deserves a great year, and with the weather improving, and the Crystal centre attracting people to our city, and the Tall Ships returning, we can hope for good things.

Think he's referring to her opinion on the speed limit on the outer ring road. I stand to be corrected by Bards if he's on about something else. Why is a politician not allowed to call the judgement of their electorate into question?
