Saw Doctors change their mind about the European Union
The band the Saw Doctors has changed their minds about the European Union. The band initially welcomed the EU to Galway in a massive advertisement at the Moneenageisha Roundabout. However, several days later, either they’ve been adbusted, or else the band have had a major change of heart; the poster now reads “The Saw Doctors Condemns the EU in Galway”. If the latter, this is welcome news. It is now also hoped that Macnas, Galway’s famous street performers will follow suit by having a protest instead of their planned performance for the EU ministers. ... read full story / add a comment
