    SEANAD leader Mary O'Rourke was last night in hot water after saying some of her campaign helpers had worked "like blacks". She used the phrase while thanking her campaign workers for getting her selected for the third spot on the Fianna Fail general election ticket for Longford-Westmeath.

    Someone said "5 euro for a drink please, said a temple bar barman"and 'somesoldiers' responded, 'unless its a soft drink'. Last time I was in Temple Bar a 330ml bottle of coke came to 5.20. Hence my comment.
