    It might have been covered here already but Enda Kenny is on the cover of Time Europe. Nobody in the US will see this on their newsstands.

    The article is in the US version, just not on the cover.

    The US edition is covering the Obama VRS Romney race.

    What bugs me is ..this is obviously a political statmnt from an Independant magaine (supposedly) ...look Europe don't protest Austerity works....when that is not necessarily the case or what should be done..and our case was completely different to Spain etc we were in a better position.


    It is not a nuetral article and gives no otherside.

    I think it is playing to a political end on behalf of 'interests '. I am sorry if that is a bit 'tinfoil hat time'.

    That's the cover - I'm talking about whether the article appears inside it at all.

    Time would regularly run articles questioning austerity, tax rises, the Euro etc. The piece was generally an interview with Kenny and they tend to be sympathetic overall. It isn't the Economist or the WSJ.

    It's when Enda Kenny appears on the front of Playboy that you all need to start worrying.

    Remember the 5 point plan?

    Point One - Protecting and creating jobs

    Because jobs and opportunity are the best chance of keeping our best asset - our young people – at home. We plan to create 20,000 new jobs a year over the next four years.

    Point Two - Introducing better, fairer budgets to keep taxes low

    We will fix Ireland’s budget deficit by prioritising cutting waste, over raising taxes. Because high taxes kill jobs, we will keep taxes – particularly income taxes – down.

    Point Three – we will create a completely new health system

    Our FairCare plan – modelled on the reformed Dutch health service - will cut waiting lists and end apartheid in our health service. There’ll be more and better community care, meaning fewer hospital stays.

    Point Four - smaller, better government with the people’s money spent wisely on vital public services

    By streamlining systems, cutting red tape and abolishing quangos, we will reduce public-service costs by €5 billion.

    Point Five - a political system that achieves more and costs less, with the Government leading by example

    We will cut the number of politicians by over a third.
    We will ensure proper accountability for decisions. A single-chamber parliamentary system, with powerful Dail committees, will hold Ministers to greater account
    all of these promises were the reason they got into the dail,
    how many of them did they keep
    so should we beleive anything that they utter, and should they now be where they are, since they did not do the job,
