Fianna Fail are not the state.
Because Fianna Fail are a basketcase, doesn't mean Ireland and it's people are a basketcase.
For some reason, people at home and abroad, think FF and Ireland are one and the same. I for one am proud to be Irish but ashamed of the way it has been run and sold out by our politicians, on all sides of the political spectrum.
And the opposition parties are not blameless either, nor is the EU. Over the last 10 years, there has been a massive failing of the political system both in Ireland and in the EU. Neo liberalism also played a part. And deregulation which was a cause celebre in the EU in recent years has proved a disaster.
