2016 is an opportunity to change our old ways of governing

We should be managing our resources while being aware that we share a small planet, writes Victoria White

WE ARE on the cusp of a new year and of a new government. Enda Kenny needs a new five-point plan. Remember those punchy lines, like “We will create a completely new health system” and “smaller, better government, with the people’s money spent wisely on vital public services”, not forgetting “a political system that achieves more and costs less, with the government leading by example”?

Now, forget them. On the eve of our historic centenary, it’s time for fresh thinking. Who better to provide it, I hear you shout, than my good self?
