I think it was more likely from FG myself. After all FF don't have any influence, RTE lobby for nobody but themselves and the GAA are far too canny to look for anything but money from the government.Originally Posted by tonic
I think it's a pity though.

Collective cabinet decision to be 'reviewed' because of overwhelming public disquiet at its actions.
This surely excavates the disfunction, the elitism and the disconnection of the Government from its people.
Coupled with the State of the Nation/Davos contradictions, rudderless Flip Floppers come to mind.
Easily led, indeed incapable of leading, making good decisions and sticking to them.
But better late than never to review cbildish and petulant behaviour I suppose.
Backbench FG disquiet is what's meant by that.

If it wasn't for the pesky fact that he is a devout practising Catholic.
The most God fearing leader we've had in some time.
Like the drunk shouting leddme attem when he is hoping someone will hold him back, its not really standing up to anything.
Have they? I remember one speech - mere words. Words aren't actions. I don't remember any actions. I'd appreciate any links you might have in case I missed something.
He hasn't missed one Sunday in the bosom of that Church?
To be honest, I'm not sure Enda's attendance at mass has anything to do with anything.

It would be typical of Ireland in the middle of the biggest crisis the country has faced since at least nominal independence were an irrelevant nonsense of an issue like this to prove to be a fissure between two parties in government. It wouldn't be the first time some witchdoctor related horseshyte was allowed to distract from real issues in real lives.
Fine Gael and Enda Kenny have stated that the closure of this beano-office for the Irish clergy and hangers on was made on economic grounds. Now I suppose with a statement that this is being reviewed they may have to take a close and public look at what economic benefit it brings over costs. I suspect and hope that the only logical conclusion to such a review is that it is a factual cost and an ephemeral claimed benefit to the country at best and the review will state that closure was the correct decision.
Any backtracking on this and Ireland once again starts to look like a reservation afeared of the medicine men. At least now the opponents of the closure will have to point to some material profit in keeping that daft office open. 'Eh, eh, eh.... good relations with... eh, eh, eh, people' just won't cut the mustard on this one.
It is either a smart move to draw the sting of those who claim it is a plus on the balance sheet or a stupid capitulation to the remedial class in Ireland. It'll be very interesting to see which it turns out to be.
I hope the 'review' gets the priority usually accorded to these things. It would be a shame to give the Vatican the impression that there was public outrage at the closure, or that the Govt was quaking in its boots at Ratzi's displeasure.
Make the Vatican work for it.

Strange... I haven't heard a single person complain about this so I would think they are lying.
