    How can they not be held for Economic Treason? They purposely mislead the goverment but yet nobody has been charged?

    Somebody clear this up for me because i cant figure it out.

    Has any law actually been broken?
    If so then it must be because there is no political will to get them!

    Thats the depressing thing about this whole sorry mess is that lenny has admitted that they spoofed him and his department and they are laughing their collective balls off at him safe in the knowledge that they would be in more bother if they got a parking ticket.

    so not only is he incompetent in economics when it comes to being a minister of finance

    he is also incompetent in legal field as a "barrister"


    or maybe he knew exactly what was being done but that was a better choice for the party (not the country) that was taken, in order to hold onto power

    Quite right. Protect the party and those who support it or could destroy it.

    "For the good of the Country" does not exist for any acting TD I would contend. It's a gravy train baby !!

    I remember being castigated by an FF apologist when I put the word "barrister" in quotes for this very reason.

    dff 1st, 2nd and 3rd, the country comes last, the voter does not count, within the last six weeks i had the misfortune to be lumbered with a dff co. counciler, i asked what are you lot doing to fix the economy, he replied, immigration always cured this countrys economy, the people who left would never vote for dff, the people who stayed had a job and voted dff to keep it, the poor never really voted, and if they did they voted for they guy who got them a medical card etc.
