I have heard that the Eastern Europeans in the ROI find Swan a satisfying meal...as well as the fish they get out of the Grand Canal. Nearing Dublin, there are many signs in all the East European languages, saying it is illegal to eat fish caught from the canal...which as usual means that many fish are caught and eaten. -- Neil Arlidge - NB Earnest - Shannon Reg 7410...not here anymore...
