      was listening to that and timing it. He’s a news item. 2 minutes at most to tell us of his passing. Not the likes of Shane Ross extolling his virtues on a news show that lasts 45 minutes an over half of it taken up with this.

      I have several friends who worked in SuperQuinn over the years – they were all on well over the minimum wage, with their wages going up each year. He also used to hire disabled people to work in his stores.
