The rest of us live in the real world

I'm not one to normally agree with Kevin Myers but on this occasion I have to say I do.

The M3 motorway is a necessity for anyone travelling from Meath/Louth area.

The likes of bit-part actors like Stuart Townsend, who couldn't act his way out of an environmentally-friendly paper bag by the way and who doesn't even live here, fly over on a little holiday and try to stir things up.

Why doesn't he rent a house in Meath, borrow a couple of kids from a friend, get them up at 6am to a crèche each morning and then drive to Dublin to work, turn around eight hours later and come back home and pick up the kids before the crèche closes.

Give him one week of that experience and then ask him does he want to change his opinion. You live in Hollywood, aka La La Land Mr. Townsend, the rest of us live in the real world.
