We are in an age that will be looked back upon in the future similarly to how we currently look back upon medieval aristocracy.

Obviously a person evades tax with the intention of not getting caught," said Judge Martin Nolan. "If brought before the courts they then think they can buy themselves out of a custodial sentence.

"I don't think that is appropriate or fair to the other people in the country who mostly pay their tax," he said, as he sentenced Hughes to prison.

It's disgusting that Mick Wallace didn't state these words and resign from office.
It's disgusting that the government didn't state these words and push for any legal prosecution possible, preferably Treason.

In 2010, when the IMF were called to our shores, it was a huge shock for many but many, many people saw that the country had problems and many problems and all different but viewed it as an opportunity for much need change and reform. This change and reform is not being met.

Enda Kenny addressed the vatican last year with a speech. He saw a problem, addressed and did nothing with actions. All empty words. The state still married to the church.
This is one example.

So so so much more. Enda and co are not delivering whats needed - change and reform and won't. They've had 20 months in office now and they are out on a 2 month break.

There will be no political reform in this country, none.
