Time to return Fianna Fáil to power

The sacrifices the Irish people have made cannot continue into the last two years of this Coalition’s tenure. I hope we will have a return to Fianna Fáil, for these reasons:

1. The exorbitant level of taxes imposed by the Coalition, such as property, water, septic tank and other sneaky ones. Savings are worth nothing interest-wise. The FF coalition provided reasonable interest on saving, as did Charlie McCreevy’s SSIA accounts. We had prosperity, near full-employment, and the building of motorways, the Jack Lynch Tunnel, the Port Tunnel and the Shannon Tunnel, which attract industry and jobs from foreign firms.

2. Enda Kenny’s handling of the mess caused by the banks was poor. His generosity to Europe at our expense was dreadful. If any business goes bankrupt, the creditors can only expect a small payout, yet Kenny promised full payment.
