It was a great concert in the RDS - Rory Gallagher, Moving Hearts stood out. But as for the jobs...<br />It kept turning out that, for instance, the eight jobs mending the roads in Leitrim were not actually being offered by the local council - but were a misinterpreted suggestion from a local angry with the potholes.
