Over the past few months now when the pressure has really come on the government the minsters have shown some serious inadequacies, rabbits caught in the headlights comes to mind. Would it be better if we change the appointment of minsters to a system they have in America. The Taoiseach appoints people who can actually do the job!!
I mean there are plenty of professors of economics in our universities who have written books and books about about economic policy and are more than capable of being the Minster of Finance. The problem at the moment is we have people in these Ministries who don't have a clue about what they are doing and are running the county off cheat sheets, with the buzz words they are to say in interviews and in the Dail. They are more concerned about getting re-elected then actually getting the job done. Heres a brief list of the major ministers we have at the moment
Minster of Health - Mary Harney, -BA in Modern Studies, 32 years in politics
Minster of Education - Batt OKeeffe, BA in something, 24 years in politics
Minister of Finance - Brian Lenihan, Barrister, 12 years in politics
Minster for Enterprise, Trade and Employment - Mary Coughlan - BA in social Science, 22 years in politics
We need to get experts in these posts NOW.
Forget about politicians, leave them at what they know best, kissing babies, sorting out potholes, getting a new bus route for the new estate, leave the serious stuff to the experts !!!!!
