Has Barnardos lost it entirely?

Fergus Finlay ,on behalf of Barnardos ,of which he is Chief Executive  and one supposes on a salary that way exceeds that of many of the families who his Charity cares for,has publicly pronounced that there should be a modest decrease in the children's allowance.I assume he has no qualifying children himself and even if he had he could do without the allowance.
The real world,in which I live ,has nothing in common with the type of nonsense he is spouting.Despite appearances this recession has destroyed nearly everybody,irrespective of the strata in society once occupied by them at the height of the boom.
Even the apparently wealthy haven't a bob to rub together,much less the coping classes.
As an upfront Labour man he must surely know that the country is awash with quangos and the addition of another one, to decide who is worthy of the fullest allowance and who is not, could only result in the further deprivation of those families most in need.
All he has to do is look at the queues at the Labour Exchanges every week and the obvious discomfort ofthose in line for their benefit.And at the number of children in State care who died well before their time ,while still in Sate care.
With the Government trying to downsize further its already stretched workforce does he really expect parents to go and beg for the money necessary to feed their children.
The overwhelming majority of people totally depend on this money to survive and provide a decent standard of living for the same children.
What should really concern him and others like him is the fact that over 76,000 people are voting with their feet every year and emigrating from the country his political mates are running for the benefit of the Troika.
Has he no conception of the hurt that a thirty year old,who wishes to marry and start a family,goes through when he or she realises that they have no chance here of ever getting a house,decent jobs nor raising  children properly in this country and make the heart breaking decision to go to the far side of the world for that chance.
The sort of nonsense he is spouting will surely encourage them to stay ,would you say.
The highest emigration since the time of the famine,when another Empire ruled us,is indicative of the failure of all the politicos here and their blind adherence to the diktats of their latest masters ,against the interests of the people,just shows that the worst oppressors of the Irish are other Irish.just as in famine times ,when the Brits could not run us (into the grave and abroad),without the active co operation of fellow Irishmen and women.
Might I suggest that Banardos does itself no favours when it acts as an extension of the Labour Party and  go about its business in a way more commensurate with its core function.
