		<description>Siimon,
I agree with your article, &quot; Enda&#039;s got a lot to learn &quot;, 

I believe, that he is misreading, what the people are saying in the poll and yes, they are rightly, very angry with Fianna Fail,and no I haven&#039;t forgot, about the Greens, I think the Electorate will take care of that.

         Enda is behaving, like a spoiled schoolchild, who always wants, what someone else has, and now that it has fallen into his lap, he doesen&#039;t seem to know just what to do with it.

         He keeps talking about landslides, and watersheds, which will only serve to rally the troups at F.F., I&#039;m not suggesting, that they would get enough votes to win an election, but that&#039;s not the point.

        He has not positioned himself, to convince the people, that Fine Gael, are the alternative, in their own right, and not just the alternative, because Fianna Fail loose.

         Right now, there is nothing I want more, than to see Fianna Fail, get the asskicking, they so rightly deserve, but Fine Gael, have not convinced me that they have the right policy&#039;s to get to grips, with the enormity of just what is taking place.

        And when I think of Fianna Fail - Fine Gael - Labour, the only words that really come to mind are, Kettle, Pot and Black.

Also now, that A.I.B. apologised to the shareholders yesterday, which I believe is correct and proper, but have you noticed that no one has apologised, to the people of Ireland, for the mess that has been created, and after all it&#039;s the taxpayer, who is footing the bill, an no one has as yet said, we are sorry, for the huge debt that we have left you with.

      In particular, I think the Government, should apologise, for not having enough checks and balances in place, to ensure that fraud on this scale, could never have happened, and this is not being wise in hind site, because Article 45 Section 3.2 of Bunreacht na hEireann, gives the Oireachtas,the power to enact such a law, but in 60 years since that document was written, no one thought it prudent to do this.

I think it&#039;s going to be a long time, before we get a stable government again, but we the people, have had a very healty debate, and I believe this should continue, I think we owe it to our children, and our grandchildren , to ensure that this will never be able to happen again.

I do understand that there are external factors, influencing, the recession, but at least 50% of this was homegrown, and It&#039;s the fraud squad, that should be conducting any enquiry, and not a Dail Committee, or heavens above, another tribunal, by the way, does anyone know, how much more transparent we are in government, after all that money, that was spent investigating, corruption ?????.

I notice the Greens are using some kind of wooden posters, for their campaign. Right now, I can think of some better uses for this wood !!!!!!
