I have earlier alluded to the fact that Fine Gael in particular courted the farming community for their votes in the run up to the last election.Reports suggest that they got about 70% of the vote.They were particularly anxious in this constituency to portray themselves as the very best friends of rural residents in such matters as :-
(1)Reversing the ban on stag hunting.
(2)Preserving the rural way of life
(3)Setting up a fund to defray the cost of challenging Eirgrid in their plan to run the pylons over the ground.(I personally heard this commitment given by their representative at an anti -pylon meeting prior to the election).
Unless I have been asleep there is no sign of 1 or 3 above being attended to and they are meeting the I.F.A to ease in the Shite tax.
Presumably those well known rural pursuit individuals who organised support for Fine Gel will now have the decency to pursue reversal of this tax and will be as vocal in this now as they were in other matters beforehand.
Lads ye were sold a pup .Have the decency to say it loud and often.
As for the votes garnered and promises made in relation to Navan Hospital,promises that did not materialise ,nor were never likely to be delivered ,I hope that those T.D.s that opportunistically led the protests now have the honesty to admit that they sold a pup to the electorate.
I am flattered to see that some of my proposals for reform of the health services (see earlier blog on Health Policy) have now been taken on board by some commentators.Look lads,take them all on board and the problems will be solved overnight.
Another suggestion.Put mothers of seven or more ,who have raised their children on modest income, in charge of each ward in all hospitals.I'd say they wouldn't be long getting them shipshape.
And finally gonad politics is making its debut.How in the name of all that's holy ought the the shape of a person's gonads be a factor in determining suitability for political office,or indded any job.Will we see sex change operations by aspiring male politicans to make selection for office easier.And just who will check the shape of the individual's gonads to see that they meet the criteria.
Another pup being touted for sale.
