Election should be fought on inequalities and not on tax cuts

SO, where’s Micheál Martin’s speech? I watched it on the telly on Saturday night, and was sufficiently impressed by Mr Martin’s delivery to want to read the speech again. 

Sadly, they must all have been celebrating until late, and then spent Sunday recovering.

By Monday morning there was neither sight nor light of the speech on the Fianna Fáil website. Instead the main news item on the site was a speech from someone called Lisa Chambers. I’ve never heard of her but her speech, which “slammed” Fine Gael’s proposal to bring in US style tax rates to Ireland, had an oddly familiar ring. All their candidates, as far as one can tell from the website, are spending every waking hour slamming one thing or another to do with Fine Gael.
