Anglo Irish Bank bailout will be painful, further austere measures loom and we have a Government and a Fianna Fáil party who enjoy almost a 1/4 of the electorates support. We have been told lies,

been deceived by a gallery of people.

How long will we have to pay?

How much? (I’ve heard all the figures but we can’t be told the proper figure)

When will we see those responsible held to account?

The debts of a small banking institution have almost crippled a country of 4

million people. I am most sorry for the people of Ireland, we all have every right to be angry and disgusted, but its not sympathy people require its a new political system, a new government who will be accountable, who will be responsible, who will not let them down again.
