		<description>"In the North, it means pressing the British Government for greater fiscal autonomy and the ability to raise taxes and manage our economy independent of British Treasury restraints."

Jeez.... talk about biting the hand that feeds you.</description>

		<description>It was great to see such large turn out for this special occassion, to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the First Dáil Éireann.  What made it even better was to see our leaders adress those less fortunate enough to get in the gate as there was no more room inside the Mansion House.  If this had been any other political party I doubt very much if  the likes of Brian Cowen, Enda Kenny or Mr Gilmore would have stood out in the cold weather to give these people their time.</description>

		<description>Sorry the above is incorrect, the only reason FDR had the new deal was because in 1932 over 1,000.00 million people voted  forsocialist or communist parties, also the Louisanna Senator said that each American should be given Usd 5400 each, the Government got scared then hence the new Deal, the Ssame thing happenned after the 2nd World War with the Marshall plan, they split Germany</description>

		<description>We must endeavor to honour all those who gave their lives and sacrificed so much through all the years of our struggle. To insure that we not only achieve a united Ireland but that that Ireland is a socially just one.  Where a governments roll is to serve all the people not just the few.We have had twenty years of the greatest wealth our country has ever known and yet our children still go to school in over crowded prefabs our health service is third world and on the brink of privatizing, crime lords and drug dealers run our streets and now young families are losing their jobs and their homes. Surely this government has failed Ireland, failed her people and failed her hereos.It is up to us to restore the ideals of the past and build a better future</description>

		<description>good speech.   not sure where i stand with SF in the last few years, you let some people down at the last election moving to the centre, if you stick to what your saying in this speech i think you will do ok.   republicanism to me is more than being physically militant, it's being ideologically militant and having your eye's open to the full potential of this country, not being afraid to call a spade a spade not being afraid to kick upwards and now more than ever this country needs that, i hope  SF is up to the task.   iam not trying to give out to you but  i think you can do better. if i can give some advice, don't be afraid to be a bit bold, the people who will attack you are the same people who always attacked you for it. but the people that matter will love you for it.

		<description>HI hope you can take a look at YOUR new deal for the people of Ireland 

When franklin Roosevelt came to power in the great depression of the 1930's he created the
NEW DEAL this is now the time for Irelands NEW DEAL we need new thinking and new plans NOW.
 To Bring about CHANGE  we need to drop rhetoric.  We need to put to one side ideologies 
Stop calling voters working class or even working people, most working people don't see that they ARE working class – call them decent people or ordinary decent people. 

Housing The affordable Housing Scam – While It is ture the mad mac had a large part to do with the housing crash with his will they won't they stamp duty panto. The affordable housing scam has also played a major role – The Clawback element means that first time buyers a locked in for 20 years – they can not trade up, this as feed its way up the proprty ladder.

When Roosevelt set up fanny mae he banks were killing the usa. Farmers and ordinary decent people were being bulldozed out,  when this happens it created massive problems for society.
Fanny Mae provided backing for nearly half of all home loans is the u.s. Until 1979
Ireland needs a govement company to back all new home loans for ordinary people and small business lets say up to €350000. 
The goverment company would have a role to play in helping home owners in difficulty maybe with mabs.
This company would have a major impact in controling house prices but would also free up the housing market.
As we are NOW the tax payer pays billions each year in rent allowance, as people lose their homes this will rise – for no real reason.

Jobs -like dell we are about to see a major shift in jobs from Ireland companys like IBM,HP etc will 
all leave unless we change now.
There is two parts to this, we need the esb, eircom etc in goverments hands – This way we can provide business with cheap operating costs. We also need to lower the cost of living, - lower the stress on wages. Vat should be at 15%( this would have a small effect on the price of cigs, drink leave them we all buy our cigs in spain)

Jobs or eduction for all, Huge numbers of  ordinary people with skills are sitting at home on the dole – This is a scandle we need non profit companys to build projects that would not be build otherwise,
hospitals, schools, upgrading homes for the elderly, redevelopment of disadvantage comunities.
The opition to improve our socitey insead of roting on the dole.

VRT this is a huge one it need to be scraped- it costs lives – saftey is taxed
						-Its bad for the planet – old cars	
It costs job – higher cost of living

If you guarantee this you will be in goverment and gerry will be the president 
crowds of people will be outside the dail demaning a change
If you don't  kick ff/fg now you never will
And don't forget to aways remind people the cowen pays himself more that the president of the usa
best of luck :)</description>

		<description>Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin was by far the most influential speaker at the commemorations on the 20th organised by the Oireachtas. Whilst An Taoiseach  mentioned partition, it was Deputy Ó Caoláin alone who highlighted the shortcomings of subsequent Dáils as partitionist parliaments - and solemnly reminded listeners of the ultimate sacrifices made by fellow TDs over the years, from Terence MacSwiney to Kieran Doherty. The day is coming when the elected representatives of all Ireland will sit and legislate for the Irish people; and whilst it may be OK for the partitionist parties - Fianna Fáil included to embellish this anniversary, we as Irish Republicans have work still to do. Tiocfaidh ár lá</description>
