FF was flawed from the very start

IT’S not really all that surprising Fianna Fáil can’t pull itself together to face the coming election.

Remember, this is not the first time Fianna Fáil has driven the country to the brink of ruin. We were here before as a result of Fianna Fáil’s economic war in the 1930s, its policy of economic stagnation in the 1940s and in the 1980s as a result of its 1977 manifesto.

The difference now is not only is Fianna Fáil in office when the consequences of its failings have become clear for all to see, but, even worse, it was in office when the IMF did actually have to take over. Something which other governments, even like the Fianna Fáil GUBU one, managed to avoid.
