Lenihan: Ireland to apply for rescue package

[Yorrick]

Sean the man, How did you jump to thatconclusion? Do you work in the Dept of Finance.

A political system which allows a few individuals to restrict Governments from proper budgeting and a constituency system based on clientism has played a major part over 90 years in us not having effective administration.

" Dont cut the public service because there is 2000 of them living in my constituency"
If the Minister for Health wants cut backs suggest closing this inefficient hospital because it is in the Taoiseachs constituency and see how far it will go etc

You have to remember that the few who are seen to be holding the government to ransom, were invited to form this very government because FF didn't have the numbers. You can't blame Tony Gregory for trying to serve the North inner city as well as possible or likewise Jackie HR in Kerry.
Your previous post seems to be absolving the main party in Government of blame and passing it onto the few independents
