I have been asked to define the term"Fear Breaga"again.It is the Irish language word for" scarecrow".Translated literally back from Irish to English it would read "false man",which is what a scarecrow is.Yes Irish is a fierce descriptive language ,which makes it a shame that we all don't use it as a working language.
Anyhow my late uncle used it to describe people who were false either in their deeds or utterances.
It gives me the greatest pleasure to say that Denis Naughten,who was elected as a Fine Gael T.D. by the people of Roscommon ,who pre election gave his Party's undertaking that there would be no scale back in the services of Roscommon Hospital under a Fine Gael led Government ,has not made it on to the Fir Breaga list .
This is because he matched his deeds and words and did the manly and proper thing by voting in the Dail consistent with his pre election undertaking .He was expelled from his Party for this reason.
Not for him the weasel words nor any attempt to hide behind the skirts of HIQUA where many others are cowering,just as the last crowd used cower behind the skirt of the H.S.E.
Watch now as our own T.D.s try to wrangle out of their undertakings when Navan's turn comes.
