Pensioner ashamed of them all

FOR the first time in my life I feel ashamed to be Irish.

I am ashamed of the Government that gave the over-70s free medical care knowing full well the State couldn’t afford it, and then did a craven U-turn when the storm broke.

I am ashamed of Enda Kenny and the rest of the opposition who jumped on the begging-bowl gravytrain instead of showing the leadership and integrity which the occasion demanded.
