Enough is enough: it’s time for us to take back our country

WE, the plain (in some cases very plain) people of Ireland have reached a crossroads in our history.

Our tiger is dead. The people who credit themselves with our fast-evaporating economic miracle are still at the helm, but showing themselves as incapable of managing a crisis as they were at wisely investing the fruits of the boom.

Our fingers are worn raw with dialling Joe Duffy to weep about our pension levies and worthless investment properties.
