Draw Breath

There is a great photo of Councillor Nicky Kelly on the platform of Wicklow railway station in the current edition of the Wicklow People. Unfortunately, I have yet to locate it online. The photo was taken about 3 minutes after the 5.25 train from Dublin had reached Wicklow. Apparently, Nicky Kelly and other local politicians had thought that it would be the perfect opportunity to meet and greet the prolitariat as they arrived home from a day in the office. However, as the train arrived in Wicklow, the doors opened and the swarms of people did what they usually do, jump off the train and sprint out of the station. Few people even looked up to see who was handing out leaflets, let alone stop to talk. Pity, as train congestion from Wicklow is a significant bone of contention. The one solitary commuter pictured with Nicky Kelly had all the time in the world to voice her concerns.
