Political mystery

SO the Fianna Fáil vote is holding up, according to recent opinion polls.

How is this possible?

Amgen calls off its plant in Cork — this was known before the general election.

Lately we have had the farce over that memo and the Aer Lingus withdrawal from the Shannon-Heathrow route.

Sorry, Minister Dempsey, but I don’t believe your story on that one.

Now the Taoiseach and his ministers receive huge pay hikes from an ‘independent’ review board that was told not to release its report until after the election.

And still the Cork airport debt issue is unresolved. So the more the Government lies to us and abuses its power, the more popular it becomes. It is time for FF voters to awaken from their dreamlike state and get real.
