The Celtic Tiger: Shoot On Sight

Oisin Horgan
Skerries CC, Dublin

The Celtic Tiger is

1. My neighbour removing their garden hedge and replacing it with a grey concrete wall.
2. The lights left on twenty-four hours a day in the CIE bus shelters.
3. The basket of rotten fruit that I throw out on a regular basis.
4. People driving to work instead of cycling.
5. People employed by consumer whim, not consumer necessity.
6. People drinking bottled water instead of tap water.
7. Middle men making more money than producers, often by fulfilling such useful roles as adding sugar to otherwise good food (sugar is in practically all processed food).
8. People drinking more and talking less in pubs.
9. The plastic packaging you don't need that surrounds all the food you do.
10. People flying to Spain every Summer when they've never been to Kerry.
