Surely this is as welcome as "almost not drowning."
Lord save me from the eejits!
From today's Irish Independent (the rip off that the Corrib deal is so widely known that even the Indo accepts it- pity Eamon Ryan is still defending it). -
>Saturday November 29 2008
>Former Taoiseach Albert Reynolds is known for his "wheeler-dealer" image. He was once asked by former Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf to start peace talks between Pakistan and India.
>But there's another example of his ability to close a deal -- from his close associate Martin Mansergh.
>During a recent debate on the Gas Amendment Bill, the junior minister told the Dail that there were plans to pipe gas from Kinsale gas field to the North in the late 1970s.
>"Indeed a deal was negotiated by Albert Reynolds when he was Minister for Industry and Energy in 1982 with Adam Butler, who was a junior minister in the North.
>"Unfortunately, Mr Reynolds struck such a good deal that two years later Margaret Thatcher (then British Prime Minister) vetoed it and it did not proceed," Mr Mansergh said.
>Pity Albert wasn't still in charge when we negotiated the deal on the Corrib gas field.
FG have alway been a right wing party expousing Anglo American models of captalism, foreign exploitation of Irish people, natural resources etc.(their views on the Northern situation over the years and the Corrib gas issue are good examples) and the curtailment of civil liberties. Its sad the the general public think they will get something different and/or better than what we have under FF if they vote Kenny Lite and his merry band of blueshirts in. The only difference between the parties is that FGailers tend to be slower and therefore a little less devious then their FF twin. Corruption wise they are fairly evenly matched if one is to be beleive a recent expose' on dodgy planning which exposed it to be rife up and down the country. indeed it appears to generally worse in FG controlled CC's compared to FF ones according to the Primetime report.
Does anyone know if this in the same Pat Breen who is the Regulator at RegTel?
