Fianna Fail Fiddle
The harp is a symbol used by many groups and organisations in Ireland including the major political party Fianna Fail. In recent weeks FF have had at least four of it’s members in the national papers for financial improprieties. It seems that money problems are endemic within the party going back a generation, if not more. They should just give up their auld harp and use a fiddle as their party symbol.
According to the article on the It @ Cork website this crowd at SAS figures there is roughly €4billion in assets being fiddled each year in Ireland. I figure that this is at the low end of the spectrum. €1000 per year for each and every one of us, are you getting your share? Of course not everyone is at it; but, then again some are at it big time like yer man Collins who had his day in Limerick Circuit court.
Beyond in Galway the councillor Michael "the Stroke" Fahy is doing jail time in the big house in Castlerea for fraud and the Council is only happy to take him back after he is sprung in January, go figure. Not only is fraud endemic in Fianna Fail but it is acceptable to all the parties in the Galway Council and apparently the voting public at large, are you getting your share? That embezzled money and /or equipment could have financed lights for the dark pathway that the young foreign student was walking just before she was murdered, too bad it wasn’t avaliable thanks to the "Stroke" and others like him. Fiddle on.

I presume the other two fiddlers you refer to are Beverley and Bertie? It seems there’s one set of rules for all of us and another for those on ‘Planet Fianna Fáil’.
