Gormley suggests ministers might car pool
Fine Gael will today publish details of its plan to get the economy back on track and improve public services if in Government.
The 'Reinventing Government' policy document contains proposals to dismantle the Health Service Executive and the training agency, FÁS, as well as the introduction of car pooling for Government ministers.
It also includes an overall reduction in the size of the public sector and a demand for pay restraint for senior public servants.
Fine Gael Leader Enda Kenny is LIVE on the This Week radio programme at 1pm.
I will vote for the canditate who is seen working throughout the term and not just making noise coming up to elections. If everyone votes this way then we at least get people who are willing to work.
An overhaul is needed, I don't know the solution though.
I always voted FF up to 2007 when I switched to FG & Greens(never again). I usually vote through the card starting with the Party I dislike the most(Labour) and working backwards to No# 1. FF will therefore probably get some low preference from me but FG will get my 1, 2 (and 3 if they have a third candidate).So will anyone here vote Fianna Fail? Either 2nd 3rd or 4th preference?
Looks like I'll be spoiling my vote as usual.
It's the only logical thing to do. I'm certainly not voting for the 'best of the worst'.

Anyone brave enough to admit it and give a reason why?
I don't want to turn this thread into a "leaving off steam" area, merely trying to gauge if those on here represent a cross section of the community.
Please could you explain how spoiling a vote is same as not voting, and how both of these are "akin to voting for something worse than the 'best of the worst'"?Spoiling your vote or not voting is akin to voting for something worse than the 'best of the worst'!!!

Interesting that you admit to this. I suppose the 18% has to be someone.Yes, I will be voting FF as the candidate who will receive my #1 is the hardest working (regardless of party) of all parties in the constituency.
Given the nature of our party-political system and the state of the country, I wonder if it is an indulgence to vote in this manner? After all it's FF TDs (hard-working and not) who are the life-support apparatus for the double-act who brought us the worst decision in the history of the State.Yes, I will be voting FF as the candidate who will receive my #1 is the hardest working (regardless of party) of all parties in the constituency.
