Olli Rehn

Olli Rehn

It is my learned opinion and sound judgement that the visit of Olli Rehn was a pathetic Government orchestrated event aimed at drumming up support for the €6Billion Budget cuts planned for Dec. It was also a very carefully choreographed event to force the main opposition parties into supporting the Governments Budget strategy and to leave them with no other scenario but to support the passing of the budget in the Dail.

This sort of sleek, cronyism politics drives me nuts and it is solely because of this sick political agenda that this country finds itself in the mess it is in. What God given right has Fianna Fail to govern this country? Every time they were out of Government they have bought their way back to power by promising the people that they will cut this and that tax. The June election in 1977 is a clear example how a party so thirsty for power nearly bankrupted the country by introducing the abolition of rates, car tax and several other incentives that got them back into power with a majority of 20.

It is also quiet clear to me that Fianna Fail must take the electorate of this country to be a bunch of dummies. Can they not see that we see through their manipulation and scheming? If not then it is they who are the real dummies. Despite all their talk about a 4 year plan and how important it was to the Irish economy to have it published sooner rather than later, suddenly and unexpectedly we will not see it until after the Donegal by-election. Dear God give me strength to put up with this nonsense.

In any case no matter what announcements they make about taking €6Billion out of the economy, 4 year plans and Olli Rehn’s endorsements , the bond markets are not taking a damn bit of notice of them. Tonight it would cost 8.15% for the Irish Government / People to borrow money over 10 years. This is just criminal and the responsibility lies with this Fianna Fail led Government and nobody else, except of course The Green Party and the Independents who support them. When is this Government going to take the honourable and patriotic decision to resign and allow the Irish People the opportunity to get back up out of the mire they have taken them into? The sooner the better for all concerned.

It is time for fundamental political change in this country as the cancerous evil of Fianna Fail and the current crony party system can never be changed through the democratic process. It needs to be obliterated completely or else it will return again to destroy this country once again. The Taoiseach who should be ashamed of himself to be addressed as Taoiseach talks about the dire straits the country is in and how it is necessary for this budget to pass and the fiscal corrections to be made. Well Mr Taoiseach it was you created this mess. YOU!, YOU and BERTIE, and McGREEVY and all your cronies in Fianna Fail, The Banks and The Developers; To HELL with all of you scoundrels and traitors.
