I didn't see the speech so I can't comment on Joan Burtons abilities or otherwise, but the opposition can't be any worse than biffo fatlips, and Fás hairdo Mary and co. Biffo doesn't even know which speech is his on the autocue. (see news stories relating to his recent St. Patrick's day trip to the whitehouse) where he made a complete eejit of himself. Ireland must be the laughing stock of the world allowing this bunch run the show when they couldn't organise a prayer service in a monastery.

It makes me angry and sick to the teeth each time that the Fianna Failures trot out this tired old line that they're glad the opposition aren't running the country. Then again the opposition haven't had twelve unfettered years to ruin the country given carte blanche by gombeen voters to run their fiefdom "as he sees fit" to quote the great biffo himself.

Not a concrete incentive to preserve or create jobs in this budget. There are simply no ideas rattling round between this lame-brain, no hope gang of imbeciles who have the gall to call themselves a "government" and who go from one holiday to the next. What other countrys parliament sits for less than 95 days a year? Come on.Wake up folks!

I for one can't wait to give them a great big kick up the you know what come the European elections. At least then we can say that we tried to change things. Lenihan (any one else think he looks like Damien from the Omen movies) tried to blame the Lisbon treaty result as a partial reason for the country's ills. They just don't get it!
