Ethics

So, what we appear to have at present is an issue over ethics in government, it is an old chestnut and important to examine. Blanket concentration on the issue of Taoiseach Ahern's receipt of money from a businessman, who I know nothing of, and his purchase of his house is distracting from all the other important issues. This brouhaha needs to be given a name not a feeding frenzy. It is an issue of ethics, other issues include transport, housing, green energies, economic growth, health and so on...... good luck to all the candidates who try to compete on issues.

'make me green, but not yet Lord'

John Gormley TD launched his election campaign today....78 days or so to the election.... time for a new government?
there will be photo opportunities, policy papers, a swathe of posters tethered to poles, slogans, cheers, applause, anger, disappointment, elation, optimism, fear and more.. at holbrook fields we hear the rumble of a mass of people, carrying spears and placards, from the mist, over a hill they come...to make their feelings known.... we wish them well.....
