LMFM Excludes Anti-Corruption Debate

LMFM Radio Exclude Anti-Corruption Candidate from Debate

29 May 2009

A Chara,

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

I wrote to LMFM outlining why political corruption and party politics is ruining this county. My website explains measures I would push at council level to introduce reforms of the council and transparency of the private business conducted by council members to reduce the causes of corruption, which many people mention to me as I go from door to door.

I am being ignored by LMFM while FF councilors explain on its airwaves how the opposition is talking down the good work the government has achieved. This I see as a tactic by FF to hoodwink people away from present realities into the same state of mind that led the country into its present mess while ignoring the role played by corruption.

Political corruption is the single most important issue facing this country. Until it is tackled all policy is tainted and the needs of people will play second fiddle to the well being of party members who are in power to avail of its benefits and privileges. Obviously not all members are corrupt.

The people know this. So why is LMFM not tackling this issue while ignoring a candidate who is pushing to clean up local government?

Is mise le meas,

Albert Byrne

Independent Election Candidate Ardee Council & Louth County Council
