Political Princess
As the current political establishment is busy filling their own pockets with pay increases, while the going is good and before the new budget is announced early next month, it doesn’t seem as if this generation of politicians has any chance of showing any conscience or inclination to work for the common good. All they are interested in is their own selfish greedy ambitions and corrupted aims.
The kind of political correctness we need in this country is the kind that comes from politicians acting correctly, and it looks as if we will have to wait until the next generation of politician comes into their own.
The Political Princess of the Kingdom of Kerry, and former Mayor, Councillor Toireasa Ferris, has left a group of politicos, who were meeting to try to get some answers out of the Health Service Executive, because of the frustration in dealing with the stonewalling and evasive representatives of the HSE. Commenting in the Evening Herald she said that the committee was "all mouth and no teeth" and that she felt guilty accepting the €400 per meeting when no answers were forthcoming from the HSE. Herself and other councillors walked out of meetings as far back as February in protest of the farcical and dysfunctional nature of the situation and now suggest that the monies be better put to use providing medical services for those in need.
The future is looking bright. Fair play to ya Ferris!

Unfortunately the citizens of Ireland had their chance to remove corrupt politicians from government, but choose to return the same corrupt politicians in the last elections. If the Irish ever discovered a politician that wasn’t corrupt, they would faint dead away. They Expect it, and never demand, nor ask for better.

All too true Branedy, and all too sad.
