Мой партнер, терпеливий, порядочний человек, оптимистичний реалист и патриот, всего добившися в жизни самостоятельно, не "благодаря", а "вопреки" написал вот такое письмо на Joe Duffy's Show. Что вы, уважаемийе форумчане, думаете по этому поводу?

Subject: 'A Nation in Chaos'-''Ask not what your Country can do for you,but what you can do for your Country''



Hello Joe,

I am quoting the words of John F.Kennedy-a rallying call you might say at a time that our Country is plummeting into chaos on so many different levels which is being well documented at National/Local Level-TV,Radio,Press on a daily/weekly basis,so much so that we are all nearly at saturation point at this stage.

Your shows in particular over the last weeks/months/years have given the people of this Nation to express their opinion,vent their anger at all the various issues that arise throughout this country and gives the ordinary person if you like a forum,where their plight will be heard.

In the times of rising unemployment,emigration,Hospital waiting lists,National Debt,overcrowded Schools,Hospitals & A&E’s,Prisons House waiting lists,House,Car & Equipment Repossessions,Loan Defaults…Ghost Estates..Nama. a failed Banking System…a Poverty Trap which is broadening rapidly… a Self employed Sector that as has been well documented is not recognizable by our Social Wefare System an increasing drugs problem..increasing number of suicides…and so on and so forth…

We are facing a 3rd Budget of cutbacks,and now are facing the proposition of 4 more years of increased taxes,cutbacks etc-due to the act that the Nations Finances are spiralling out of control and in accordance with the conditions associated with our membership of the Single European Currency,must be put in order within that timeframe.

Our Government are now running out of time,and are under immense pressure to develop a financial plan not just for next year but for the next four years and are now proposing to sort out in a matter of weeks,what has taken many years of overspending,waste eg (Tribunals),lack of and more often than not,no accountability,little or no planning,lack of forsight.endless layers of red tape and bureaucrsy. mismanagement.eg Fas (and this is just the tip of the iceberg)..again the list is endless.

It appears at this stage that our Political System as we know it has failed us badly over many years and the full extent of this is now only coming out in the public domain..on a dripfeed basis..there is now a complete lack of belief and trust in our Politicians,regardless what party they represent..and there is complete despair throughout the Nation,and fear of what is coming down the tracks in a few weeks time.

The ‘’tighten your belt’’syndrome is ringing in everyone’s ears..whilst the Farmleigh Debacle’’still rages on..

Everyday on your show Joe,and so many shows around this Country..people are despairing about what will happen in the years ahead within these Budgets to the Children and Eldery,those suffering from Disabilities,Carers,One Parent Families…we all know how important it is that these be protected-and our Constitution gives them that protection..and our Politicians whomever or whatever Party they represent ,have a duty of care to them..and we all as Citizens of this Country have a duty also to ensure that it happens-no matter what the cost..

We all know what has gone on is wrong,totally wrong and at some stage have to stand up and be counted,on a collective basis for what we believe to be right..and there comes a point where we must as a nation say enough is enough and change the system which has badly failed us,and not to talk about our Children and GrandChildren..What are we all waiting for??..are we just going to continue to accept it all or are we going to unite and stand shoulder to shoulder for our rights as Citizens of this great Country..Are we forgetting what those great men and women of 1798 and 1916 did for us..they were prepared to sacrifice the ultimate price..their lives to make this Country a better place for us all..we owe them a great deal..and the least I would think is to restore our PRIDE as a nation..as has been done by our Sporting Heroes in so many different codes over many years now..let’s all grasp the nettle and instead of talking and complaining about the issues..unify and use our voice..and seek the necessary changes that we all so badly need..

In my opinion there are many things we can do to help the situation but we lack leadership in so may areas..we have some of the greatest,wealthiest and most successful business people in the world that are Irish and if ever they were needed..the time is now..we need their help and input..Charity begins at home they say..we need to adopt this strategy..we need a forum whereby we can call on all these People(to numerous to mention here) and harness their expertise and connections and wealth to try help us all..

I feel we need to unify on a County by County basis using a co-ordinated approach and develop this into a National Strategy..to express what we as citizens of this Country require and expect..we have a right to be asked to sign up to a 4 Year Strategy..not for it just to be imposed on us..

Finally and most importantly,I am asking her Excellency,our Good President Mary Mcleese,on behalf of us all,in accordance with our Constitution,to intervene here for the ‘service and welfare of the people of Ireland’ to intervene,and after consultation with the Council of State,convene an urgent meeting of both houses of the Oireachtas,on behalf of the People and then address the Nation to show the way forward and give the necessary leadership that is necessary,to help allay some of the fears etc that exist..given the extreme urgency of the situation we are all now facing..as each and every Finance Bill will require her signature for it’s enactment into law..

As a Citizen,Father,Son..I truly believe that we will work our way out of this…’’can we do it…yes we can’’..





Kind regards,
