Spin and how you might tell it
After all, less than two weeks ago, ministers and others were finding it difficult to express confidence in the chief executive of the semi-state company. Since then, senior ministers, starting with Dear Enda, seem to have done a serious backflip and now appear to have full confidence in him again. Ultimately, it’s all down to Fine Gael and its rush to get this political dynamite out of the way before serious electioneering starts for early 2016.
Unfortunately unless Government, through those it has commissioned to address the problems in Irish Water, finds a ‘get out of jail card’, the writing is on the wall and that wall suggests that Fine Gael and Labour are going to have a torrid time whenever the next election comes along— in less than 18 months.
