The Way Forward . . .?
That link stcKin which developed in Cork at the Fianna Fail/French Progressive Democrats get-together for the lead-up to the European elections was important if only because it helped to emphasise that we may all be looking at the wrong set of problems, and therefore the wrong answers, as far as the future development of the coimtry is concerned. Jacques Chirac was quick in pleading that be was misquoted and the journalists who covered his press-conference in Cork were equally quick to assert that they oaiy told it as they heard it. Perhaps there were translation difficulties? Irish reporters, even reporters of European politics in the national dailies, have not particularly distinguished themselves in Europe as linguists. Wales, officially part of the United Kingdom, has a Welsh-language press office in Brussells. The E.E.C. also has an Irish-langtiage information service, staffed by a Belfastman (another "citizen of the U.K.!") but, we understand, the Irish media do not normally bother him very much. Of course Mr. Chirac is not against the European elections. They can do no great harm but they may divert our attention from the more pressing problems of the Community. The French leader feels the elections will not solve our current problems, and that by pressing them on to the centre of the stage, at the present moment, we may be directing our attention to the wrong problems. Mr. Chirac may be right. What is really significant is that he has the courage to speak like that. His questioning of the value of the European poll, and indeed even its suitability for Ireland, will re-assure those who hold this view at home, but have been largely ignored to date. There is also a great danger that Fiaima Fail's involvement in the Cork congress will divert attention from the pressing problems which should be attracting full government attention at the moment. Industrial relations are bad, very bad, and it is no good to point out that things are worse in some other coimtry. A huge resentment has built up in several but mainly public sectors following almost a decade of national wage agreements. Most of these are now being pursued as "special cases," productivity deals, status and work-load differentials--anything but what they really are: wnmgles about money. National Wages Agreements have become so tight that it is increasingly difficult to break ranks. Therefore every trick in the trade has to be used to get money under other headings. They have not purchased industrial peace and even Mr. Lynch and Mr. Colley are now saying that they are not keeping wage demands within line either. So, it seems, we are set for another jimgk encounter. For that is what a "free for all" will become. The strong are strong in any case. The weak will suffer. Surely there must be some other way forward? I.T.G.W.U. Vice-President John Carroll, in our opinion, made a lot of sense when he suggested to Congress last week that a decision on national negotiations should be put back until January when the E.M.S. negotiations would be clearer, and when the contents of the Budget would be known. Then, it seems he hoped some sort of social contract could be negotiated, which would include a combination of items but also some guide-lines on pay. Even some general guide-lines are better than nothing. If we break with Sterliiig, it is imperative that we show some sort of wage restraint while confidence in our own currency is being established. Is it too late to try again? Is fearr d&mach na go brach.

estic Servants Registry," Freeman's Restaurant, and Considine's Bookshop. On the opposite side of the street were (from the right) Donnellan's, Commins and Greaney, hardware; Brcnnan's Drapery; Carney's pub and bun shop; Hardiman's; Brcnnan's; Talbot's Saddlery; MuUin's Butcher; Tyler's; Toner's betting shop; Johnny Egan's butcher; The River Plate Frozen Meat Co. (where Gleesim's is now), and what

was known as "Maggie Murphy's Home," a pub (where Powell's is now). The street has changed entirely now, though it is still two-way for cyclists. However, you could not hang out those shawls or coats or baskets or window blinds, or whatever you were selling, without planning permission. Never mind! You can still dump your car in the "Car Park" at Spanish Parade, or build railings around your private

patch in Eyre Square (in case someone oarks there!). "The Architecture of St. Nicholas Collegiate Church --Some Observations" is the title of the Old Galway Society lecture which will be given by Mr. Paul Walsh in the Imperial Hotel tomorrow night at 8.30 p.m.
