Should a Right-wing, reforming government gain power at the next election, it will face the full resistance of the Blob. The 2023 ousting of Dominic Raab is instructive in how this will run, says Dr David McGrogan.

Wasn't wrong after all.
Dunaree is a Soldier of Destiny for sure.He and his ilk hasrecently been accused of writing estimates for new highways and new tunnels,Luas,etc on the back of an envelope and handing the 'friends of Fianna Fail 'contractors and consultants ,a blank cheque to rip off the taxpayers of this country on all construction projects which have a habit of doubling in cost from the original estimate.A powerful public accounts committee have said this not I.I am not so sure that this is due to the 'alleged 'incompetence of Fianna Fail.
When it comes to corruption in any shape or form Fianna Fail have never demonstrated incompetence.
On the contrary they have shown a remarkable level of expertise in this field,since their Mentor C.J.H.hijacked the party,many years ago.
The fact that we are now ripping off our german friends, who contributed so generously to our'peripheral'farmers and infrastructure for so many years has been forgotten by Bertie and his Ansbacher friends countrywide.
Corruption is 'Fianna Fail'
Let this never be forgotten.
Check your facts! Interest rates are at an all-time low. They may rise slightly as is normal when an economy is booming, but they will rise much less in Ireland than in the UK or USA because its in the Eurozone, and the leading Eurozone economies are hardly growing at all.
As for rising prices, the inflation rate is currently 2%, one of the lowest rates recorded in the past 50 years. Every economist now agrees that Charlie McCreevy will have a huge surplus available for tax cuts in December. In marked contrast, Gordon Brown is running a deficit of £40million this year (60 million euro).
And George Bush is running a deficit that is in the stratosphere. As are France and Germany. The FF Government's success is because its policies are based on pragmatism, rather than ideology. A bit right-wing here (e.g. low taxes on the wealth-creating sectors), a bit left-wing there (e.g. high expenditure on health and education). As a result, Ireland is doing far better than any other country in the world at present, whether those following the American model or those following the European model. By the way, this John McDermott who always opens these anti-FF rants is quite skillful at passing himself off to Indymedia readers as someone who is broadly sympathetic to their (mainly left-wing) point of view. In fact, he's the opposite. From items he has posted on other sites, its clear he is opposed to FF from an extreme right-wing point of view. He thinks the FF Government is spending far too much on health and education and would like it cut back.
He rarely mentions that on this site, but on other sites he does. Always amazes me that he is allowed to open threads on this site.
The increasing of interest rates should look after fair wallop of that hidden money. Prices are rising.
You're just in a bad mood because the economic news in the past few days has been so fantastic. The Celtic Tiger is back. The growth rate is 6%. Unemployment is tumbling. New house completions are going thru the roof (no pun intended). New American investment is being anounced daily. The EU reported yesterday (see Irish Times) that Ireland is the lowest-taxed country in the 25-member EU. Despite this, the Government is heading for a huge surplus in 2004 (which means big big tax cuts in December) - this is in marked contrast to not only the high-tax basket cases in Europe, such as France and Germany, but also other realatively low-tax countries such as the USA and the UK, where government finances are deep in the red. I could go on and on with the good economic news reported in the past few weeks, thanks to the FF/PD Government's brilliant handling of the economy, but I know such good news would get Mr. McDermott in an even worse mood than he is now. So, I'll desist.
The concise oxford dictionary defines a 'nexus'as a link or bond associated with payments of money.!
Have the recent accusations against Minister Cullen,bravely enunciated in the Dail by a Sinn Fein T.D.-now been admitted in this new press release?
A nexus of enterprise?yes.
A nexus of environmental enterprise?yes.
Depends on whether your environment is new hotels,new houses,or new highways,-
