Bungled budget fails on all levels
The whole proposal is inconsistent with our constitutional objectives and in the past the same attacks on the people of Ireland have been stubbornly opposed by true leaders such as James Connolly and Éamon de Valera.
Fianna Fáil’s name is traditionally translated into English as Soldiers of Destiny, in Ireland, since our independence we have been the sole authors of our own destiny. As a nation we have been through many challenges and our future will be exactly what we make of it. We will continue to be the authors of our own destiny, however the script for our future, the 2011 budget, that our finance minister or his department have written, lacks any of the aspirations of our people and is written in the financial language of fear (which will inspire all the confidence for a bear market rally that will ultimately lead to a secular bear market).
