The Luas is diverted for property speculators

category international | politics / elections | opinion/analysis author Sunday September 19, 2004 23:50author by john mcdermott - Remove Fianna Failauthor address Leinster House Report this post to the editors

The civil Servants are leaving town...like it or not.

Only people protest can stop them...

It is abundantly clear that Fianna Fail are determined to push on with ‘decentralization’whatever the long term cost in inefficiency of services.
The taxpayer will be bled for the ensuing chaos,during the coming decades- not Bertie and his discredited buffons who will be retired by then, with their generous T.D’s pensions.
While wealthy speculators arrange the diversion of public infrastructure in Dublin to facilitate their vast property empires,the unprecedented railroading of thousands of civil servants to facilitate vested interests countrywide, is clearly the biggest political and financial ‘stroke’ in the history of the Irish State.
It will leave Charlie Haughey and Liam Lawlor and Ray Burke’s antics in the shade.
Fianna Fail are already embarked on a land buying scheme which will see their cronies building offices and leasing them back to the taxpayer-whether occupied or not- for the next 25 years. The bill will be calculated in billions,-yes-billions of euros!
If any of the weak and ineffectual opposition parties had any gumption they would be alerting the public to the full implications of this catastrophe, and vehemently calling for massive ‘people’protests to bring down this government -as Marcos and his corrupt administration was toppled-before it is too late.
The Farmers cavalcade can block Merrion square when their interests are threatened..the common citizens appear to be too preoccupied with the cost of alcohol in public houses to see the real threat to their children’s legacy.
It is a sad day for the people of Ireland.

Agree with your criticism of Fianna Fail, but you never seem to criticise the PD's or Fine Gael so I am concerned as to what your alternative to Fianna Fail would be.
Do enlighten us, John.

Freddy,when you see a Labour Councillor in Wicklow County Council outdoing Fianna Fail in re-zoning stroking,and Finn Gael playing from the same Hymn book-I really am sorry to say I don't have any alternative to recommend.That still does not make it right.!
