"INAPPROPRIATE at this time" is how an official explained the decision by Bord na Mona to postpone the 50th anniversary golf outing to St Margarets on Thursday.
Some 120 members of staff and a few guests had planned a day of golf followed by dinner but it was not to be. Indeed recent expenditure exposures have put paid to any plans to celebrate the company's half century this year although no revelations are forthcoming about what had been anticipated. What about a wine tasting, one wag suggested.
