Discredited Fianna Fáil should be proscribed

FIANNA FÁIL as an organisation, given their legacy of economic incompetence and negligence, not to mention treason, should be proscribed.

Not alone have Fianna Fáil destroyed our economy, let us not forget that they have also undermined and diminished the social fabric of our society. Gangland killings and murders are now a daily feature on our streets, the drug culture abounds unchecked. Unbelievably, during the lifetime of the last dysfunctional government, more than 5,000 Irish citizens took their own lives, over 3,000 have been killed and countless thousands seriously injured on our roads. Hundreds of thousands of our children have been forced to emigrate.

To add insult to injury, we have to witness the ultimate irony of the grotesque payments, perks and pensions, self granted to the departing band of Fianna Fáil incompetents. Instead of being tried by their peers in the courts, they have waltzed away to luxurious retirement happily leaving the unfortunate and broken taxpayer to pick up the tab.

If the new government is to have any credibility, it cannot allow this totally unjustifiable and unaffordable anomaly to continue a moment longer. Time for at least one more hard decision.
