Your so right Gerry, so many opportunity wasted that could have turned thing about. I feel you have coined the word well Greed, as a basic world problem. The Irish governments ,like all people need decent citizens and not the old politice of corruption. The Irish "misery index" budget is the fourth worst in Europe, based on the unemployment and budget deficits. There has been a small increase in the number of people out of work in Northern Ireland. The figure increased by 200 to 54,000. At this same time we have Ireland's central bank and government on Tuesday defended the need for public sector wage cuts proposed in the 2010 budget Yes Gerry, there may be no fat goose for the Christmas table this year because The Ghost of Christmas did not take the goverment on a trip by ghost of christmas past, present and future .Dickens' famous miser as well as the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future is most real today in Ireland as well as the rest of the world, It's sad to say.<br /> From the same mold as Scrooge, the suffering consequences of governments action .If only the people "had as good a friend, as good a master, and as good a man, as the good old city knew', in power. As exclamed the Spirit :There are some upon this earth of yours," returned the Spirit, "who lay claim to know us, and who do their deeds of passion, pride, ill-will, hatred, envy, bigotry, and selfishness in our name, who are as strange to us and all our kith and kin, as if they had never lived. Remember that, and charge their doings on themselves, not us." Thank-You Gerry , and God Bless Us, Every One! , Long live IrelandTimothy Doughertynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5004730508631468243.post-57170382543228722502009-12-13T23:29:53.313+00:002009-12-13T23:29:53.313+00:00Gerry

They listen to a constant stream of media criticism of the Public Serivces and it so called failings.The exact same is happenning in the UK.What is needed is a broader network of these progressive left foces to give and show people that there is an alternative. Unfortunately SF were badly damaged the last time in the Election, mainly your own fault.due to an inabilty to understand the economics of the situation. A new strategy is needed to use the Internet, a Public education if you like , a national distribution of leaflets, pamplets, etc,etc and town halls meeting across the Country to show the people that there can be Leadership . but Leadership with knowledge.Paul Dorannoreply@blogger.com
