the State of the place

Enda Kenny and his team mark 100 days in office and they are all business. But 100 days of what? Nothing has really changed. Small towns like Roscommon are hurting and there are little signs of recovery. Quite the opposite, Empty shop units, bad roads, people leaving for new countries. Young people leaving education have no prospects here in Ireland and our own job resource The Fas are advertising jobs in Norway, Germany, Canada, USA and New Zealand to help you piss off out of the country and not come back.

I heard Kenny say it is not a politicians place to create employment. Yet Michael Lowry is the voice of this new Casino in Tipp. I suppose the job of Fine Gael right now is to get as many people out of the country and so off the dole as possible by making it impossible to live here. The closing of fundamental needs like hospital accident and emergency units around the country are positive proof of that.

Thanks very fucking much.
