Believing in fairies

Slí Eile: While columnist Breda O'Brien may not be everyone's cuppa tea I suspect that contributors to this board will give at least 9 out of 10 for her piece, yesterday, here in the Irish Times: 'Children paying price for economic confidence trick'. The Mawkets don't seem to believe in fairies either. Not a budge on the spreads after the controversy about not entering the bond arena next year. They're not too dumb - the risk is already factored in.
