Don’t let the government squander any more of your money.

Now late in 2006 we are fast approaching the cusp of a fresh election process, yet it would appear that no lessons have been learnt over the years regarding public spending, infrastructure projects and much more.

• Some that just roll off the tongue are:
  
  Hospital Beds (the lack of)
  The health service’s (downhill slalom)
  The tribunals (billions wasted)
  The brown envelopes (see above)
  The apparent cash for favours (see above)
  The port tunnel (was built the wrong size)
  The Luas (not meeting in the middle)
  The lack of decent public transport
  The lack of park and ride facilities
  The lack of safe school transport
  The traffic gridlock situation (Thanks Owen Keegan)
  The red cow roundabout
  The toll bridge
  The M50
  The indirect taxation (ever increasing)
  The unfair treatment of our elderly (they built the country)
  The deaths on our roads (ever increasing)
  The lack of Garda (everywhere)
  The closing of rural Garda stations
  The judicial system (unable to let the Garda convict)
  The Yellow Pack Garda (forced upon us)

I could go on and on, but I think you are starting to get the picture and can piece this shambles together yourself.

With all this behind them the people in power are planning yet another huge waste of Tax payer’s money right literally on your very doorstep.
The Monkstown Ring Road (MRR)

Already 300,000 Euro of your money has gone into an oral hearing, not to mention any other consultant’s fees to date.
The findings of this oral hearing were…that the MRR is not necessary, and was a legacy plan for the entire area prior to the conception and eventual building of the M50 and its Wyatville junction.
These findings have been totally ignored by An Bord Pleanala.
By the way An Bord Pleanala are an autonomous body answerable to no one. Not even you the tax payer (how did that ever happen).
An Bord Pleanala should not have this power to run roughshod over the findings.

Just think about all these issues and draw your own conclusion.
The sole purpose of this communiqué is to make you sit up and see what is going on right under your very nose.


Don’t let bulldozers destroy your home and run the couple of miles of Blacktop through your neighbourhood.

Don’t let the government squander any more of your money.
