From confession box to ballot box for Labour

Labour’s Brendan Howlin summed it up yesterday when he confessed that much of Labour’s promises will never be implemented.

“I have a confession to issue here,” Mr Howlin began in the true Lenten spirit of a sinner in the confession box.

“I don’t believe that Labour will have the majority in the next Dáil so I don’t believe all of this can be in the programme for government,” Mr Howlin repented at the launch of his party’s manifesto, which suitably was held in a chapel on the grounds of DIT’s Grangegorman campus.
