John O’Donoghue Speech to the 2005 Fianna Fail Ard Fheis. September 16, 2011
John O’Donoghues speech to the 2005 Fianna Fail Ard Fheis in Killarney. Its very much typical of its time, full of praise for Fianna Fail, mirth for Fine Gael, Labour, The Greens and other. There’s a confidence in Fianna Fails message that no longer exists.
O’Donoghue states “It takes a hundred Years to build a forest … and only one night to burn it down again”
Its almost apt for Fianna Fail …. the one night for Fianna Fail was the Bank Guarantee.

Kerry Public Service Workers Alliance -Anti Government Flyer March 3, 2010
Got sent this and thought it of interest. A flyer from The Kerry Public Service Workers Alliance (http://kpswa.wordpress.com/). It Illustrates succinctly the gripes of many of the lower paid Public Service Workers (and many others too).
Also why would Tom McEllistrim earn more than Jackie Healy-Rae?
(Should anyone have the Black and White anti Healy-Rae poster shown in a report recently I’d love a copy)
