Why I’m rooting for the ‘lifeguard’

Why do I cheerlead Fine Gael and the current Government? Simply put, I’m rooting for the lifeguard.

A little over two years ago a failed Government reached the apex of their inflicted doom and& literally destroyed the economic sovereignty of Ireland. They dumped the country in the lap of the EU/IMF and high-tailed it out of office. What was left in their wake was nothing short of an economic nuclear winter.

In little over two years a Fine Gael-led Government has turned the fundamentals of our economy around. Battling against shared control of our own finances, consistent populist and unrealistic opposition and a continuing European crisis, Ireland is slowly clawing its way back.
