Today we learnt that not only has Enda Kenny broken his solemn promise to keep Roscommon A&E open, he also denied he ever made such a promise!

Assuming each dole thief claimed the minimum payment of €188 per week, this means the tax payer was […]

Brian (he always insisted on being called by his first name) showed everyone what politics should be about – duty, passion and a determination to always put country […]

What was most shocking in TV3’s programme ‘Fiddling the System’ was the complete disregard the welfare cheats had for their fellow citizens. Welfare fraud is a criminal act that damages communal cohesion and concepts of fairness within society, this illegal, selfish behaviour should never be tolerated, but especially now when resources are scarce.
