Another in a long line of broken promises

THE Budget announcement of decentralisation for 2007 has deliberately distracted attention from Charlie McCreevy’s lost opportunity to invest in our social infrastructure.

The suggestion that Fianna Fail are now going to provide state-of-the-art offices for civil servants is laughable coming as it does from the same party that promised us a network of world class school buildings two years ago, and we all know what happened to that promise.

Decentralisation is another Fianna Fáil promise, under-funded and over-hyped.
