It’s official - MCD (and the National Consumer Agency and various TDs, and from the coverage levels, the media) care more about the middle aged middle classes than about the rest of us.
Saturday July 7th 2007 - thousands of largely 20-somethings have hellish experience having paid €200 for the privilege
Week of July 9th - MCD say ’same old same old’, cops say ‘ah sure it was nothing’
Saturday July 14th 2007 - far fewer largely 40-somethings have muddy traffic jam, most of whom having paid similar amount (most tickets didn’t actually cost €550, they started at around €170) as last weekend’s poor unfortunates
Week of July 16th - MCD set up special committee, ex Garda Commissioner, NCA and range of TDs, not to mention Twink, can’t stop talking about it. Something must be done.
As himself in the anorak is so fond of pointing out, ours is a glorious society of equals…
