Full of it

I'm talking of course about Environment Minister Dick Roche here

Just listening to him being interviewed by George Hook here and as is often the norm from Government ministers we get treated to waffle, hyperbole and meaningless selective statistics
Sample quote: "We have achieved more than any other Goverment in Irish history in implementing green initiatives"

YES Dick, that's because the environment is now one of the biggest issues around!
OF COURSE you've implemented more green initiatives than any previous Irish government
Because years ago nobody aside from a handful of eco warriors and hippies gave a fiddlers!
Now however, the world and his dog has woken up to green issues with the realisation that cities like Cork, Dublin, Gawlay and Waterford could be treading water in a few decades time if nothing is done

Unfortunately Dick Roche has already shown the Irish people exactly how much he cares for the environment by approving the routing of the N3 motorway through the Tara hinterland!
It beggars belief that an environment minister could show such disdain for the environment and Ireland's cultural heritage and history
This is not just some fields in the middle of nowhere, it's one of the most important archaelogical sites in Europe
Poor auld Cormac Mac Airt must be turning in his grave!

It's things like this which really putting me off voting for FF ever again - they're so concerned with looking after their corporate buddies, big developers, lawyers etc, that everything else becomes less important
And as for Bertie, I have even less time for him now than before. I just cannot take the man seriously with that feckin smug grin on him on the FF election posters
Time for a change, no question, but whether the Rainbow Coalition is a viable alternative remains to be seen
