'Fine Gael and our young Taoiseach Simon Harris smell blood'
Politics is a dirty and rotten old business. Its dog eat dog in the quest for power and the dark arts are regularly used to damage and destroy opponents.
I don't know the precise allegations against the chairman of the highly prestigious Dail Public Accounts Committee but the the issue has now been referred to the Gardai. Our Justice Minister Helen McEntee was dispatched to the Week In Politics TV show to put the boot into Mary Lou McDonald and her gang with talk of kangaroo courts, the silencing of party members, texting children inappropriately, and Sinn Fein not fit for Government.
There is little doubt the Sinn Fein juggernaut is slowing down and in trouble. But the mainstream political parties would be foolish to write them off just yet.No one wants to hear Fine Gael lecturing us all when they have been in office for a tiresome 14 years and have made plenty of mistakes themselves over the years starting with the savage cost overruns at the National Children's Hospital never mind their failure to solve the housing crisis.
Mary Lou who only two years ago was tipped to be the next Taoiseach and is now only an outside bet, needs to get her mojo back. We need a strong, honest Sinn Fein for our democracy since the ego ridden Labour and the Social Democrats refuse to amalgamate together.
