Impartial Public Accounts Committee badly damaged by partisanship of the worst kind

POLITICS the world over is full of guff. Full of bluster, self-serving statements, can-kicking, lies, and murky hypocrisy. Our Irish brand of politics is no different.

Just look at our lame-duck Taoiseach Enda Kenny, on the eve of his White House meeting this week, walking back his comments about US president Donald Trump being a racist.

Still influenced by our occupation by the British, it is driven by an underlying belief that someone else is picking up the tab.
