IN launching a Patriot missile at the Progressive Democrats, the Fianna Fáil TD for Carlow-Kilkenny, John McGuinness, delved very deeply into the realm of incredulity.

For a personal opinion published in a Dublin newspaper this week, he produced this gem: “Fianna Fáil may, at times, be messy, but its strength is its humanity.”

Maybe it was from this deep sense of humanity that Fianna Fáil decided not to issue the extra 200,000 medical cards as promised before the general election.
