One of the basic human rights - to be fed and to have access to safe drinking water is not provided by the county's rulers - be that Galway Co. Co or the government. What do the people do? Re-elect the same shower that was in control of the situation. Galwegians had a real reason to vote for the Green candidate but choose instead to vote for Mr. O'Cuiv and Frank Fahy - god help us!. I am not normally a green supporter but if ever one should have been voted for this was the occasion (Having said that he let the party down with some outrageous ideas on taxation!).Galway people got what they deserved. They voted for them 5 years ago and they voted for the same ones again even after their incompetence and lack of care was totally evident. This is then compounded when the cabinet is announced. Anyone West of the Shannon voting for the government are either receiving compensation in kind, still thinks the civil war is on or need their heads examined. Anyway fast forward to the Fianna Fail tent at the Races. Property developers, pseudo republicans and not a blue shirt in sight. Drinking Heinekin, Ballygowan and G&Ts. Be carefull with the ice lads!.
