As the Dail was dissolved, people throughout the land rejoiced at the fact the the Fianna Fail government that had staggered on too long had finally been put out of it's misery. And with good reason. The country is in serious financial trouble, and times are as hard as they've been here in a very long time.
Amazingly though, all of the people yelling loudly about how Fianna Fail had destroyed this country seemed to have missed any other news stories that day.
Over in Egypt, the country is in chaos. After rigged elections, and corruption that has actually brought the country to it's knees, people are having to take to the streets to force change. Their lives have been ruined to a degree that most Irish people will thankfully never know. People have lost their lives. To be honest, right now, our woes don't even compare.
Yes, things are tough here at the moment, it is a difficult period, but people really need to gain some perspective.
Are ya for real?? Fianna Fail left this country fucked, no wonder people are upset, and glad to see the back of em.
ReplyDeleteI bet you're a Failer though, wouldn't surprise me a bit.
I don't think you get my point though. I'm saying things are bad here, but we should consider ourselves lucky that people don't have to risk their lives in order to force change. Our situation could be much worse.
