    Could do without the digs at FF. Have no love for them, but there's a time and a place for cheap shots and this isn't it.

    I wonder if drink prices will go up in the Dail bar or do they even pay for it in there?

    Petrol - no change
    Motor tax - no change
    Income tax - no change
    VAT - no change
