Fianna Fail hurt the old,the sick and the handicapped.

category national | politics / elections | opinion/analysis author Sunday November 02, 2003 19:42author by John McDermottauthor email jmcd33 at eircom dot netauthor address Ashtown dublin 15author phone 8680717 Report this post to the editors

30 fistfuls of silver

Fianna Fail are an unscrupulous ,immoral ,and totally ruthless in pursuit of revenues/taxes with which to continue the iniquitous division of our society into" the haves" and "the havenots"

The old,the sick ,or the handicapped ,never benefit from Fianna Fail,s activities. An Example; A few years ago we had hundreds of wheelchair accessible taxis in Dublin,-the licences for which were sold to applicants for 18000 euros each by Dublin Corporation. When Mary Harney demanded deregulation,the same Authority began selling new licences for 6000 euros each and earned over 30 million euros so far in revenue from this source.Now there are virtually no wheelchair taxis in Dublin ,as the Authorities refunded the money and the drivers immediately sold the expensive -to -run vehicles ,due to their drop in income.! In effect the local government sold out the handicapped ,-for 30 large fistfuls of silver.! Judas !,come in-...the Soldiers of destiny are here to greet you! And they need your money.
