Please ask the Greens what help a petrol tax will be in reducing
carbon emissions from the twenty thousand taxis who endlessy traverse the
cities of Ireland nightly,belching exhaust fumes into the streets, and who have almost no parking facilities
or taxi ranks to cater for even 5% of their deregulated and excessive numbers?

Just been reading about their plan to re develop the GPO as a New Abbey Theatre, I'm betting that comes up for discussion a lot in most households these days.? . I bet a lot of people can't sleep at night worrying about it.

I have only one question ' Why would any sane person want to do that '
I know we need to build a new theatre, and I support such a proposal, but why would anyone want to destroy a functional historical building,
maybe we could turn the Four Courts into a new Carlton Cinema Complex, when we're at it.

It certainly is an aspiration, and nothing more than that. They have not given one statistic of how they propose to achieve anything.

This is the easiest re negitation FF ever had.

Just a few points.

Ending Homelessness has been a policy document since august 2008.
A civil appeal court already exists.
A referendum on childrens rights has already been agreed to
Take further steps, towards a universal health service. ( I really don't know what means ) perhaps someone might enlighten me.
A levy to be inroduced on banks, if nama makes a loss. ( The last time a levy was introduced on banks, the very next day, the banks increased their customer charges, and passed it all on to the consumer)

These are just a few, I won't bore you with going through them all, but I feel very sure that the opposition will pick them all apart in minute detail in the comming week. I think christmas has come early for the opposition. The word I think I was looking for at the beginning was, pathetic!
