I wish Irish local government had that kind of power, we're so ****ing centralized here (and I don't think we're centralized to Dublin, but to Brussels at this stage)

Norwegians have a wisdom the rest of Europe obviously lacks-they kept the **** out of the Eurocratic Neosocialist Politburo that is the European Union.

P.S, I'm a smoker, but I don't believe you have a right to smoke on someone else's property without their permission, but Government has not the right to ban it either on private property

If I were an Irishman I'd be angry too.

The EU is becoming top heavy and I think the countries that stayed out of it made the right choice.

I love Ireland,but will not go again because of the smoking ban.
