Willie Penrose has resigned from government over the closure of Mullingar barracks.
A government (super) minister gone before their first budget. Doesn't inspire confidence.

Just proves what a self-serving shower most politicians are
How do we address this? Or is there any solution?I think it says just as much about the electorate.
Some people are of the opinion that we get the politicians we deserve. I disagree, I think that on balance, not withstanding how bad they are, we have better politicians than we deserve.
And where is Willie Penrose's constituency?
Oh look, it's Longford Westmeath!
Just proves what a self-serving shower most politicians are
Instead of biting the bullet and explaining to his constituents that hard decisions have to be made, Penrose resigns and virtually guarantees his seat in the next election.
