I see a lot of comments about RTE’s foreign correspondents and their lack of appropriate danger wages.

My father worked for MacManus (RadioEireann) in the 50s, filing tape to Dublin whist risking his life constantly btw Lebanon, Libya, Iraq, Syria and Egypt. Read this from 1956

"Strange Irish town shows up on map of Wales."

[Sarah Morgan Jones @MsMorganJones]

There are definitely worse ways to spend your time.
