Croke Park is not conducive to our recovery

Are we acting like a bunch of lemmings, all running off the edge of the cliff just because we cannot think of anything else to do?

I’m sure we think we are not, but the time has come when we must ask ourselves why do we continue to tolerate, even accept, the behaviour of our politicians and their fellow travellers at the top of the public sector, industry and the professions.

Our Government, elected by the sovereign will of the people to act on behalf of all of the citizens of this country, is not doing what we elected them to do — what they said they would do when they sought our vote just over 12 short months ago. If a week is a long time in politics, 12 months is an eternity.
