Get The Fianna Fáil/PD Administration Out!

Read more about: Uncategorized

Below are some questions which should be considered before you vote tomorrow.
Each person who reads this should give themselves an honest answer to these questions. I imagine that supporters of the FF/PD administration will not like to read this post, but perhaps they should ask themselves these questions as well.

Does Ireland wish to see Dick Roche, builder of the M3 and the would-be desecrator of our ancient monuments back in office?

Does Ireland wish to see Martin Cullen, the waster of millions on a flawed electronic voting system back in office?

Does Ireland really need Michael Martin back in, he who sat back in Department of Health meetings and cheerfully ignored the nursing home crisis?

Is it in the best interests if Ireland to see Mary Hanafin back in office, she who has denied adequate services and ABA therapy to autistic children?

Is it in the best interests of Ireland to have to admit that the Taoiseach takes cash from his friends and pays no tax until he’s caught out?

Is it in the best interests of Ireland to have a government that guaranteed the Health Boards staff their jobs, then hired HSE bureacrats on top of them, THEN officially gave up on the notion of a public health service by calling in their friends in the construction industry to build private hospitals?

Does Ireland REALLY need Michael McDowell back in office, passing draconian legislation which horrifies criminal lawyers, alienates immigrants and allows the rapists of children to walk free because he wasn’t pay attention to the side effects of what he legislated for?

Do you really want the wealthy supporters of Fianna Fáil and the PDs shrieking with delight on Friday when they realise their best friends are back in power? Friends such as Anthony O’Reilly of Independent News & Media?

If you believe Ireland does not need and should not have such a government in office, then you have to vote Labour first and Fine Gael second tomorrow.

    No responses?
    Not a single FF/PD apparachik to debate this topic, or answer the questions?
    Guess it hurts when some home truths are pointed out…

    In fairness in the mirror post i did mostly insults were thrown. But just for the interest of debate etc
    THEN officially gave up on the notion of a public health service by calling in their friends in the construction industry to build private hospitals?

    They have not given up on public health service there is already something like a thousand private beds in public hospitals funded by the tax payer. Who payes for heating electricity nurses etc etc. How is making them pay their own way and use those beds for public patients giving up officially on public health?

    Because they will be built by private developers and will be run by private enterprise, but on public land. Public hospitals they are not. And if these things are built, the private enterprise running them will pay for the heating, nurses, cleaning etc. Public healthcare services should be run by people accountable to the public, not shareholders. The FF/PD healthcare agenda will hopefully die a death today, and not before time either.
