E-mail for Mick Martin

Supraman

The idea of this thread is to get an e-mail sent into Micheal Martin to hopefully get some answers.

What I'm thinking is to submit one question per post , I'll compile and send on the lot as a list of going concerns and see what he has to say exactly on the matters.

If possible don't clutter up thread with false information or abuse as it will not be submitted.

I have no affiliation to any party but would like to see some proper answers to serious questions the public have .

As a postman I'll kick off the thread .


1. What is the new Fianna Fail opinion on the liberalisation of the Irish postal system ?

Facts/Figures regarding the liberalisation.


2. Does Fianna Fáil believe that RTÉ's funding system is in need of reform?


3. How do you plan to increase sentences for violent criminals?

4. Will you change the law to make carrying a knife similar to a sentence for carrying a gun?

5. Will you put forward a bill for when a person stabs another above the waist it is treated as attempted murder?

6. What do you intent to do over pub/nightclub/off licence opening times?

7. What involvement has micheal martin, ff, and other fianna fail ministers have with tullow oil out in uganda?? Why did he visit uganda last august and give there government €166 million of irish taxpayers money. Have a look at this post from someone who investigated it further, SOME VERY INTERESTING READING!

I don't know if it helps you but here is part of a reply from a FF TD in early December. I asked a similar question

I attended a meeting with some of the Executive members of CPSU in Buswell’s Hotel, Dublin last Wednesday December 1st.

The legislation is currently in the Seanad for debate.

I have checked with the Government Chief Whips Office who has indicated that the Bill is due to be taken at second stage in the Dáil this week, which is the week of the Budget 2011. Therefore, it may lead to a postponement until the week of 14th December.

Just a standard email, you'd get pretty much the same reply with updated dates

Supraman

Thanks for that. Sure I'll send it anyway see what happens .

I assumed there would be more interest than this.

I wouldn't worry about Fianna Fail policies on these issues, they are going to be in opposition for the forseeable future. Why not seek the views of parties that might actually be in government?

Dear MM, Why won't you and your kind go away?

Pauleta

How do you plan to increase sentences for violent criminals?

Will you change the law to make carrying a knife similar to a sentence for carrying a gun?

Will you put forward a bill for when a person stabs another above the waist it is treated as attempted murder?

What do you intent to do over pub/nightclub/off licence opening times?

Dear LeixlipRed, if you have nothing worthwhile to add to a thread why do you persist in doing so?

Why? We have a pretty good idea of what Martin stands for, he's been a FF TD since 1989, and a Minister since 1997.

14 years of "I didn't do it!", featuring the creation of the HSE monster, Fás-execs-gone-wild and the Lisbon Treaty balls-up, none of which seems to have stuck to him.

Why not ? Sure it may or may not prove interesting to read his replies no matter how it sounds and whom it suits. Costs nothing to send an e-mail.

Dear mr martin,
how did you spend the £5,000 donated to you by owen o'callaghan in 1991 ?

Why was some of that money in your wife's bank account(s) ?

Did you not have a bank account of your own ?

Do you normally forget about meeting you attend with high ranking members of your party and such lavish personal donators ?

Regards,
a not so easily conned voter.

I'm with SafeSurfer, it seems a completely pointless exercise.

A. because he's not a relevant player but on a fast track to the opposition benches in the worst showing by FF in an election ever

B. Because he (or whatever minion deals with his email) will just give bland non-answers or trot out a sound bite from a leaflet

I'm sure like his performance on TV it will be well phrased and cogently argued stuff, but it won't mean anything.

The wording on your post suggest this is something that's officially coming from Boards.ie and it isn't. When you send your email, please make it clear that you are sending on behalf of a group of people who have put it together on Boards.ie but that you are not sending on behalf of Boards

I'm modifying the title of this thread.
