Par Avion

Mark Devenport | 14:39 UK time, Wednesday, 12 September 2007

Sinn Fein's Barry McElduff wants to know what progress has been made on updating a study of obstacles to cross border mobility. He told a Stormont Committee that he had been contacted by a constituent who had just moved a couple of miles across the border from Strabane to Lifford. She asked the post office in Strabane to redirect her mail. When the mail arrived, including the woman's daughter's A level results, it was a week late and stamped "par avion". It's not clear which route it had taken but when I last checked Aer Lingus's renewed interest in Northern Ireland did not include a regular Strabane Lifford shuttle.

Not remotely related to this topic but I just thought it was interesting to read, especially the part about a certain MPs age.

Cross-border mobility doesn't seem to be such a problem for all those Donegal folk sending their kids to school in Londonderry.
