It’s not Labour’s way, it’s Fine Gael’s

So, our Tánaiste and leader of the Labour Party, Eamon Gilmore is now voicing concerns that people may not be able to afford water charges.

If, my feeble memory is correct, no such concerns were voiced by the Labour Party leader in relation to the household charge, the local property tax, the withdrawal of medical cards, the energy price increases or health insurance increases.

So why now Mr Gilmore? Have you had a road to Damascus type revelation? Somehow, to my cynical mind, I doubt it. Perhaps it has more to do with the extremely low opinion polls of the Labour Party and the apparent drive to replace you as leader. Mr Gilmore, save your concerns as we all know that it’s not Labour’s way but Fine Gael’s way.
