With all the teeth-gnashing, people have somehow mistakenly decided that Dempsey et al are at fault for ireland getting no share of our offshore resources.
The blame lies, almost solely, at the feet of Ray Burke.
It would be funny if it were not sad to watch Minister Dempsey posturing on this issue.
This is the man who says he loves Tara but finds no problem with having a motorway through the landscape and a massive interchange 1500m from the top of the hill. This is the man who was the Minister for the Environment when the change from upgrade of the N3 was changed to a 6-lane, twice tolled motorway. Of course you can't toll an existing road.
Also the man responsible for the voting machines and that waste of money as well.
What a record!
Dempsey started as Minister for State in Environment.
Cullen was on the voting machine debacle.
Historically :- Dempsey will be remembered for:
The Laffoy Commission: he was cited by Ms Justice Laffoy as obstructive when
she headed up the abuse enquiry and of course for Rossport, Erris and environs.
He is busily bringing mass-market sponsorship into Meath on a pilot scheme of
telly stuff- wherin the analog telly will be phased out in favour of more wall to wall
pap and cultural candy . 1000 people are taking part in the television pilot scheme.
Jasper - While it is true Burke was the instagator of the oil and gas giveaway, Dempsey is guilty of extending its influence over vast new areas of our territorial waters by his actions last November during a three days get together in the Burlington at which Statoil, Shell and other oil multinationals were once again indulged at the expense of ordinary irish citizens and tax-payers
Was Burke not solely responsible for removing the automatic 50% right to any commercial oil/gas well and 6-7% royalties?
You can easily find what kind of man Dempsey is, by trying to communicate with him - which I wd urge all protestors to do, citing all the issues wherein he & the Gov't are failing the electorate.
Did anyone see the coverage of the FF conference-
They have recognised green problems and carbon footprints......................
Bertie made an effort alright, the cost of the government jet emissions will be offset by donations to
green and sustainable causes (!) and the State is to get rid of lightbulbs and replace them with
energy saving ones (!)
The audience was rather old and rather grey so Bertie stayed away from the re-cycled toilet-paper
issue for fear of ruffling the genteel feathers and sullying the pearls round the well- jowly necks.
Oh Kyoto is on the menu two months before the election.
along with:-
Bigger roads.
faster cars.
no public transport.
nuclear energy.
shell to sea.
Tara.
and every other flagrant breach of EU directive on Environment- including the fact that the republic's
water supplies are in the shite- with 79 people in galway getting bugs.
It was the kind of comedy you would pay good money to see- and most of the delegates have.
Jayzhus, theres an environmental problem whose greener SF or the Greens?
Please add to the list the burning of our resources in incinerators, and the buying of credits to offset the co2 emissions. How Green is our Valley.
The state sold our only recycling glassworks to benefit their crony friends.(ringsend)
They are ripping up Tara to benefit their crony friends.
They put 16 young people in prison for pointing out the shite that happened in the Glen of the Downs.
4 of them stayed in for six weeks - without charge. They were isolated by media and political movements.
Does anyone truly believe that the use of isolation, imprisonment and abuse of activists began
in RTS or Rossport?
The precedence was Wood Quay and the Glen Of the Downs.
The opposition , particulary Rabbitte and Kenny, who have Mayo seats have failed to engage with
their communities on Rossport- on corruption and environmental devastation.
They have failed in Meath.
Bertie is laughable- a fecking chancer with the light bulbs and jet emmissions- but the opposition had
multiple chances to excerise mandate- they were abysmal- flaccid and impotent.
On September the tenth 2001- the irish government was fined for breach of habitat directive
in relation to the nature reserve at the glen of the Downs. They are being threatened by EU
over unsafe drinking water in Galway. they shovel the shite and expect us to clean up.
it has dominated FF- laissez faire- let it be. FF don't give tuppence for the electorate- it is beyond arrogance!
