Likewise your highlighting of Michael Crowe's comments is spot on- his opinions are totally inflammatory. <br /><br />Bu the way, nice letter in the Tribune questioning the authenticity of the city's new Latin Quarter.Speedie's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10091093281263233234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14588376.post-37122370605259080202009-05-31T14:37:52.820+00:002009-05-31T14:37:52.820+00:00Well said.

I think the Red Arrows' involvement was a mistake, and provocative; the statements of Cllr Michael Crowe to the City Tribune last Friday, about how GAAW protestors should be 'run out of town' was well out of line and did nothing for the city's image - or for Fianna Fáil's come to that. I feel quite sure that there is an underlying plan to have the Salthill Airshow resurface at a future date. Rather than ethical considerations, I think the organisers have an eye more to insurance costs. It's all about money and making money and ethics and a sense of conscience appear not to have any place in this scheme of things.
