FF TDs should be sent to hospitals and ports

I AGREE with Environment Minister John Gormley that there should be a national unity government, established in the immediate aftermath of a general election.

The current Dáil does not represent the will of the Irish people and was in fact elected on the basis of falsehoods. Only when the Irish people have a parliament that not only captures the current sense of outrage, but also shows a mature realisation of the position we are in, will there be any support from an endlessly tolerant population for the hard road ahead.

The new government should get on with the business of building a new nation with some key principles at its core. I propose that it shows an absolute intolerance of lies about the terrible pass we have been brought to.
