Barry Cowen: Fianna Fáil wants to keep promise made to the voters

Barry Cowen says Fianna Fáil has six policy priorities plus its pledge to dismantle Irish Water in mind as it holds talks with other parties and Independent TDs

THE one very clear message from the general election is a demand for change. The strongest, most stable, government in our history held office for five years and implemented policies which were divisive and unfair. It also implemented a way of doing business which put political positioning and media management first in everything.

It ran out of ideas when it didn’t have other people’s plans to follow.
