Our politics is in the gutter and I foresee a bleak future for Ireland

Over the past 30 years, politics in Ireland has descended into a stinking gutter. 

The Government’s imposition of a water charge, supposedly so we can have clean water at a fair cost, is ludicrous as water is now available at one tenth of that being charged by some EU countries. Its decision to staff this same water company with cronies has angered people like nothing else.

Also, a great many jobs being created in the pharmaceutical industry aren’t of real value, as they are not part of a sustainable economy. Their products are being subsidised by government to make them competitive on the open market and so the companies will stay here.
