Haughey syndrome

SLIGO is losing its cancer unit.

Health Minister Mary Harney spent €4,800 on one flight to Florida.

Old age pensioners lose their medical cards.

John O’Donoghue and his wife spent €2,000 of taxpayers’ money during two days in Venice.

Pension levies are imposed on pay packets.

Unvouched expenses are still being paid in the Dáil.

It is being proposed that dole payments be cut. Banks and developers are being bailed out.

Does this remind anyone else of Charlie Haughey and his Charvet shirts?

Be afraid. Be very afraid.
