Government has turned its back on living and dying

YET AGAIN, ministers were happy to talk horse manure rather than do anything, writes Shaun Connolly.

Pressed on Newstalk as to why the spring statement was so vague and vacuous, Public Expenditure and Reform Minister Brendan Howlin spluttered: “That’s all horse manure, that’s all horse manure, that’s absolute horse manure.”

Yes, Mr Howlin, that describes your limp, empty little document, which backfired spectacularly as the electioneering stunt the Government intended it to be.
