Image via Wikipedia I read two posts (Jason and Tadhg) over the weekend about the Labour Party conference in Galway. It made me realise one thing. Fine Gael cannot work with Labour to better this country! In the next election, the main battle will be between Labour and Fine Gael. They will be fighting to pick up seats from Fianna Fail, who will be desperately trying to hold on to them. This is especially true in Dublin where Fianna Fail...
Image via Wikipedia So what do three of the above have in common at the moment? To me they represent why Fianna Fail is no longer fit to govern. O’Dea lied under oath, and was forced to resign. Coughlan thinks young people emigrate for fun and theres the whole Hanger 6 debacle Ahern was cheerleader in chief for O’Dea and he is the Justice Minister! This government is beyond itself. It is out of ideas. It has no idea...
Image via Wikipedia As well as the appointments made by the European Council last night (more on that later), another recent appointment has come to my knowledge. Dick Roche, the current Minister for Europe, has been made a Vice-President of the European Liberal Democratic and Reform Party (ELDR) . From what I am hearing, a lot of people are not happy about this. Pat Cox, the former President of the ELDR is not a happy man from what I hear,...
Things aren’t looking so good for the Fianna Fail Party in their new Grouping in the European Parliament. At the last plenary session they caused hassle by abstaining on a vote on a resolution by the ALDE, Green and Socialist groups on media freedoms, this caused the vote to be lost. This has causd huge anger in the ALDE grouping. Reports are also surfacing that the Fianna Fail MEP’s tried to scupper a resolution on Gay Rights emerging from...
If I was in the god-bothering wing of Fianna Fail I would be very annoyed with the actions of some Fianna Fail’s allies in the European Liberal Democratic and Reform Party. One of the members of this party Brigitta Ohlsson (of the Swedish Liberal People’s Party) has along with a few collegues from the UK Liberal Democrats ( Baroness Sarah Ludford MEP), the Dutch Democrats 66 (Sophie in ‘t Veld) and the Danish Det Radikale Venstre (Lone Dybkjær) have...
This was sent to me on facebook. Fianna Fail(ed) – the soldiers of disaster, (formerly the soldiers of destiny), 1926-2009. Savaged to death at local and European elections. Deeply regretted by builders, developers, bankers and cowboys everywhere. Remains reposing in large tent on Galway racecourse. Funeral mass in the Church of St. Bertie the Chancer. Burial afterwards in the Golden Circle cemetery. No flowers please. Brown envelopes only. I wonder is too soon to be true?
Zero Tolerence?
Image via Wikipedia As most of ye are most likely aware there is a debate going on with the Fianna Fail Parliamentry Party on whether or not to lower the blood alcohol level for drink driving from 80mg of alcohol in 100ml of blood to 50mg. These are often reffered to as 0.8 and 0.5 limits Now the way it is at the moment you can basically have one pint or one unit of alcohol and still pass a...
