A Chara,
Like a ship in stormy seas our banking system almost capsized. Now the government wants to hoist the sails once again regardless of the prevailing conditions. Even garbage can grow green shoots.
It appears that stating the obvious that NAMA is cash for trash or the socialization [...]]]></description>

A Chara,
We live in a sea of misinformation, political corruption and very low standards in public office. Our politicians prostitute their integrity and self respect in order to cling to power. Nobody stands down when it is the decent thing to do.
Whatever ones opinion on the governments handling of Anglo Irish and Brian [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[26 September 2009
Madam President,
I would like to draw your attention to the NAMA legislation and why I believe it is repugnant to the constitution and as such, under article 15.4 of the constitution, should be referred to the Supreme Court to test its constitutionality.
According to a report by Davy Research (July 2009) net government debt [...]]]></description>

A Chara,

I am standing as a candidate for the Ardee Council and Louth County Council.

A Chara,
The Irish papers are filled with news on banking scandals &#38; economic decline while the real fundamental issues are being overlooked and remain unaddressed:
