A lot done... a lot more still to do

AT this time of year, that image of bothered pupils returning to school is always a common and humorous sight. Such was the look of some Fianna Fáil TDs and senators with bags slumped over their shoulders as they arrived for the party’s parliamentary think-in in Waterford city yesterday.

It’s a case of more work to be done hammering away at the coalition government. Plotting a route forward on the opposition benches is the central focus to this two-day meeting of Fianna Fáil TDs and senators (no MEPs attended).

A previous Fianna Fáil election slogan (2002) sums up the situation: A lot done, more to do.
