Clipping from the Cork Evening Echo of the Ned O'Keeffe story.
I will resume posting properly shortly – other fish to fry at the moment. But I do feel obliged to break cover briefly to pass on this from the Public Enquiry website.
In brief, a TD dismisses the idea of representing the rather reasonable demands of a primary school because not enough people in that neighbourhood voted for him. The story by Padraig Hoare was carried in the Evening Echo on Thursday July 2 and is being given a bit of a further airing by Gavin Sheridan.
I don’t blame Ned so much as our very, very sick political system. It rewards the likes of Ned and promotes that princely sense of entitlement he exhibits. And worst of all, we keep on voting these people in.
Please read the article here and/or Gavin’s commentary. And pass it on.
