Failure a shared trait in Fianna Fáil and voters

EVEN in the ranks of Fianna Fáil there is recognition that the recent pay-rises for the boys and gals have caused serious damage with the electorate.

Meanwhile, more jobs are set to go at Shannon, hospital services are closing and Brian Cowen ‘warns’ us of a tough budget ahead.

Anyone recall the last time a Fianna Fáiler warned us to ‘tighten our belts’?
