After doubling the national debt and level of unemployment in just 18 months it takes some twisted logic to then accuse the Leader of Fine Gael of "national sabotage" because he told the truth about the mess that Fianna Fail has made of the Irish economy, according to Fine Gael Environment Spokesman, Phil Hogan T.D. He was speaking following a remarkable attack on the Fine Gael Leader who is in Brussels today at an EPP Leaders' meeting.

There's a difference between telling the truth and actually doing something about it or even pre-emptively fixing the problems that their "truth" was identifying...
Perhaps some initiative within the last 18 months to fix the problems rather than trying to tell the truth about them...
How about these policies.

Incredible. FF have shredded their economic competence for a generation.
No more can they harp on about Garret Fitz doubling the national debt
If any moron thinks you can fix a problem without identifying the cause then they are just bloody stupid.Originally Posted by Wakeupcall
This horsedung about not needing to find out who caused the problems is just more cr*p from the FF press office.
Cowen, Ahern and Lenihan have destroyed the economy. They have desroyed the credibility of the companies act, the central bank, the financial regulator and the director of corporate enforcement with the culture they brought to government.
There will be no solution to Ireland's economic woes until it reallises that a market can't function without effective corporate governance.
Lying to hide problems might seem smart in the short term, but it will just make the problem worse in the long term.
We are in the sh*t - lets face up to it and start eating it - because thats the only way out of the pile of **** we are in.
It really is unreal stuff. I think we have already got to the point where this current government will go down as the worst in the history of the state.
The recent attempts to blame it on FG would be funny if he situation wasn't so serious.
"Give us the future, we've had enough of YOUR past, Give us back our country, to live in, to grow in and to love..."
Congenital inability to admit failure on behalf of FF.
They and they alone blew the economy apart.
They were elected to govern.
Sometimes this entails making hard unpopular decisions at the time.
They were unable to do this for electoral expediency.
Lets face it.
For 18 of the last twenty years they have run the country.
Every thing is on their shoulders.
The good which they crowed about and the bad which is their responsibility as well.
Because they never made any attempt at real goverment.
Lets hear it for FF the good times party.
Its only a chat, we ain't the world council.
In 2000 the Women's Institute in Britain gave Tony Blair the slow hand clap to demonstrate their contempt.
[COLOR="Red"]It was dignified, restrained and effective.[/COLOR]Doesn't Bertie deserve the same scorn. No shouting, no abuse, no agression just a relentless slow clap whenever he speaks in public would be enough to end that man's presidential fantasy.

how in the name of god can it be the oppositions fault that we're in this mess, how can you suggest for one second that THEY should have come up with initiatives in the last 18 months "fix" the problems when thats the job of the morons that have us in this situation to begin with .. , come on now get bloodly real will ye!!
I assume you are talking about FF and not merely the current make up of the government. The Ahern years were appalling. The dogs on the street saw the down turn coming as a result of Bertie and Brtians policies but strangely on election day in 2002 and 2006 they chose to ignore all of that for whatever reason.
Not blaming them for the mess... Just calling for more action and earlier.
