Following today’s productive conversation we are hopeful this will happen in the near future. He added, “While the possibility of any staff redundancies was not discussed, we need to agree the importance of staff being the first to know any specifics on the future of the Quinn business.

Dunderry Fair - that time again
http://www.dunderryfair.ie/
On Sunday the 9th May 2010 Dunderry will host its annual Fair. Last year I attended the Fair for the first time and it was a wonderful and fulfilling experience. The amount of community time and energy that goes into this annual event is to be applauded by everyone. For those of us who love the old traditions and sense of community Dunderry Fair has it all. To watch our older people demonstarte the traditional skills with which they were reared and which have now sadly been replaced with modern living is a sight to be hold.
Those of us who can just about remember butter churning, hand spinning and basket making Dunderry Fair is a journey back in time. God bless the hands of those who maintain our traditions with such style and dignity. Alongside the traditions of the cottage industries I witnessed as a variety of farm animals changed hands, I bought two ducks, and it was clear that good animal husbandry is alive and well in Dunderry and the surrounding areas as the animals on display and for sale were of the highest quality.
I dont know who Willie is, I have never been introduced to him, but he can lift a sheep as if it were a doll, Willie kept the sheep sheerers busy as they too showed off their wonderful skill. Tom Feeney is the Matchmaker and so those in search of romance will not be disappointed or at least they will be pointed in the right direction.
Dunderry Fair is nothingless than a carnival about everything that is good about Ireland and her people. For those among you who want to forget about our economic woes for a day, Dunderry Fair is the place for you. Make the effort, get up and go, enjoy a family day out that is second to none. The field next to Dunderry Village will host a wide range of activities for both adult and child, the food on offer is second to none. The Dunderry Lodge provides great food and you can book ahead (046-9431671). However there is also many other options available. Give yourself a break from cooking on Sunday 9th May 2010 and give your family a real treat.
Last year I enjoyed the open air music, the company and the craic. My two ducks are a living reminder of Dunderry Fair and the Ireland I love.
See you all there Sunday 9th May 2010, go early, have a bite to eat, walk around and enjoy.

Head Shops
“Ingenuity” Required to Enable State to Close Head Shops Justice Dept Sec Gen Tells Oireachtas Committee
20 h April 2010
The Department of Justice is resolved to do everything it can to introduce legislation which will put head shops out of business, the Secretary General of the Department, told the Oireachtas European Scrutiny Committee today.
Mr Se n Aylward told Committee members that framing such legislation would be a challenge and has so far proven very difficult. He said that the only countries he had seen that had been completely successful in eliminating these products were countries with totalitarian regimes. However, he said that the Minister and the Department were resolved to try but that it would require “both ingenuity of language and philosophy” to tackle this matter.
He outlined that a wide-ranging strategy was needed and the Department’s approach was to “hit every button on the set to in trying to tackle head shops.”
Mr Aylward was attending the Committee to enable members to consider his Department’s report on justice developments in the EU. Members questioned him regarding the possibility of an EU wide justice approach to address the issue of head shops.
Mr Aylward informed the Committee that while the Department of Health was following certain EU protocols and procedures to ban some substances, the Department of Justice was also pursuing a criminal justice response. This process involved ongoing consultation with the Attorney General with a view to bring legislation to Government.
Committee Chairman, John Perry TD said;
“We are very pleased to hear the comprehensive approach being taken by the Department of Justice to this problem. The issue of head shops is causing serious concern all over the country. By all accounts the products they peddle can cause unquantifiable damage and the sooner they can be banned the better."
Mr Aylward also told the Committee that the Department of Foreign Affairs have already conducted a review of how other countries had dealt with this issue.
