They can argue all they want that it's a good marketing event for the nation but what the hell can the Attorney General do by flying around the world telling people to come invest in Ireland. Is the message "Come to Ireland, crime is so low we dont need our Attorney General" I still dont understand why the Attorney General needs to represent the government abroad.

FF would have us believe that the Paddy's day trips they've taken over the past decade have all been excellent marketing opportunities for Ireland Inc, but now, when we need investment more than ever before, they think the responsible thing is to cut down on such trips. Why the hell do they MSM let these gobshites get away with talking out of both sides of their mouths? Either the government was wrong to waste our money on pointless trips abroad in the past, or they're missing out on a massive opportunity now. You can't have it both ways.
