I see Trevor Sargent has raised the question of land reform and the 30 year old Kenny report at the annual conference.It appears he may find its implementation easier than most of us would have believed- if he goes into coalition with Bartholmew Ahern later this year.!
The recently announced proposals by minister Roche and his Fianna Fail government, to appropriate land belonging to farmers at agricultural prices, and to confiscate land from developers who do not build quickly enough are so unbelievably "to the left of Stalin" (according to the I.F.A. his staunchest allies) that there must be serious panic setting in among the ranks of the Soldiers of Destiny that they would float such an unlikely idea before the election. :P
Bartholmew appears to have stolen the Greens clothing,a week in advance of their fashion show. (Just as he once stole Joe Higgins "socialist shirt") :wink:
Hans Christian Anderson, were he alive and well, would marvel at the inventiveness of Bart Ahernīs pre-election story tellers.
Little irish children will soon fall asleep dreaming of the wonderful fairytale kingdom in which they will grow up. It will be an enchanted island of great wealth, a green unpolluted oasis of peace and tranquility where new trams and trainlines, and wide and open highways, will criss-cross the countryside bringing happy citizens to their place of work.
There will be an abundance of pretty new houses for every family in the land, and a lovely rose garden outside each front door. The serenely happy inhabitants will grow old gracefully, and well cared for by the state.. The paternalistic, benevolent rulers of this magic kingdom will be loved by all and of course criminality will be a thing of the past.
Thats probably the kind of island the Greens could live with-but only in their dreams- when Bartholmewīs daughter Cecelia writes a sequel to her last book "Where Rainbows end"
