@Ryan Allen
This is the reason people take the piss out of the present government…they are the biggest bunch of spoofers that have ever come to power…how many of these promises have been kept?

The 5 Point plan

“At the heart of the current economic crisis is an unemployment crisis. Over the last three years 300,000 people have lost their jobs – the biggest fall in employment in the OECD and 100,000 mostly young people will emigrate over the next two years.

“Fine Gael has a clear credible jobs plan which will create 20,000 jobs every year over the next four years by focusing on spending cuts rather than job-destroying tax increases. We will invest in our future through our NewERA plan to pump €7 billion in green infrastructure. We will invest in small and medium sized businesses through a new partial loan guarantee scheme which will give them the credit they so desperately need. In addition, we intend to abolish the lower rate of employer PRSI to encourage the creation and retention of jobs.

“No economy has ever taxed its way back to recovery. Our budgetary plan will not increase income taxes, the 12.5% corporation tax or taxes on employment. We remain committed to reducing the Budget deficit by 2014 and our goal is to achieve a current budget surplus. By cutting down on waste and inefficiency Fine Gael will keep the Old Age Contributory and Non-Contributory Pensions at itheir current level. Working-age payments to carers, the blind and the disabled will also be maintained. We will minimise further reductions in job-seekers’ payments and other working age social welfare payments by getting more people back to work, and by reducing the massive levels of fraud and administrative cost in the current welfare system.
“Fine Gael is convinced that the public sector has a crucial role to play in Ireland’s future. Public service is about enriching the lives of people and helping the most vulnerable in our society. But Fine Gael also believes that reform is essential. Put simply, Government must become smallerand Government must perform better. Government has to deliver better value in order to reduce the deficit, avoid job-destroying tax increases and protect frontline services. As part of this reform Fine Gael will: Abolish 145 state bodies and companies; reduce the total public service headcount by 30,000 by 2014 compared to 2010 while protecting frontline services; introduce a salary cap of €200,000 for everyone; gradually dismantle the HSE and FÁS, and create a single, more powerful Competition and Utilities Commission to champion the consumer.
“In order to have the moral authority to take the tough decisions that will need to be taken, the political system must first look to itself.Fine Gael will implement the most ambitious programme for political reform since the 1930s. We will reduce the total number of Oireachtas members by a third by abolishing the Seanad and cutting the number of TDs by 20. We will significantly strengthen Freedom of Information; establish a “whistleblowers charter”; register all lobbyists; create a new Electoral Commission; amend the constitution to give Dáil committees full powers of investigation and strengthen the power of local government. Fine Gael is serious about political reform, it is overdue and the people are rightfully demanding it.
“Our health system has been broken for many years and Fine Gael has a plan to fix it. FairCare will gradually dismantle the HSE and replace it with a system of Universal Health Insurance (UHI) starting in 2016, based on the very efficient Dutch model of healthcare. Once UHI is fully introduced the unfair and inefficient two-tier health system will be eliminated. Under the Fine Gael system hospitals will be paid for the number of patients they treat rather than giving block grants (Money Follows the Patient). We will introduce more affordable GP care by opening up contracts to all qualified doctors. Fine Gael will reduce waiting lists by establishing a Special Delivery unit, which reports directly to the Minister, to better manage waiting lists.

“Fine Gael’s 5 Point Plan to Get Ireland Working can work, and will work. I believe that there exists within the Fine Gael team the talent and energy to implement the change of direction needed in Ireland to allow this country get back on it its feet.”

dance monkey dance

Mick its actually cut and paste, and I express my point crudely when needs must. When we are talking about the current administration i feel i have a polite as I can..My name is exactly as it says as I don’t hide behind the facade of a troll and my employers are quite happy with my personality…You picked out one word in the whole piece but failed to comment on the rest…says it all really.
Now crawl right back up Enda’s arse like a good little troll

Did we ever get an explanation as to why his private visit to the Bilderberg conference was payed for by the Irish tax payer?

Given the current financial situation,would it not be cheaper if they just e/mailed him his instructions.It would nearly do the minister good ,in the sense that he could pretend he came up with ,whatever himself. A little ego boost for fido .

Noonan is going over to get his budget from his masters.

And bye the way insulting my parents just shows what a vile character you really are

“who’s a good boy, who’s a good boy. Now sit. Siiiiittt. Good boy, good boy. Roll over, roll over….” Etc etc

To be told that the Irish Workers are still not paying enough taxes and that we still have money left in our wage packet to buy Food and a 5 litre drum of oil for heat
Stay away Noonan and suck up some more to the European Ministers And do not pass go and do not collect your salary

Your insults just show how pityful your arguement is go away troll!!!!

Finish the headlines.”to get his monthly pat on the head”

hope he brings a tube of vaseline with him….for when he’s been rode bareback by the EU……

now mick heres a nice treat and if ur very very good we will continue to let you, your worthless boss and the rest of the gravy train political traitors and rich/elite enjoy your celtic tiger lifestyles if you promise to let us continue to destroy your people and countries economic sovereignty and look after the bondholders and bankers, while trying to make your elderly,disabled,sick etc pay for it for the next 50years!

Just one big show , Michael trying to look busy…lol , “MINISTER FOR FINANCE Michael Noonan has a series of meetings planned with other Eurozone finance ministers next week to discuss the way forward for Europe’s damaged economy.” Let me guess….more powers given away in the name of saving the country , more fear on the way so will buy into the next power erosion document. Sick of it !!

Fester’s goin to the Adams Family reunion. ;-)

It’s all the one who he meets….Ireland has been shown as having little or no influence in Europe. Nothing we say or do matters a whit to the bigger nations. Us and the other smaller countries would b nearly as well off forming our own Union.

I hope the meeting goes well for Michael Noonan and for the Republic.

So everyone seems to agree that the Government should be doing more about cutting the debt burden.

The Government does more by organising meetings with influential European colleagues and guess what happens – the commentators on here resort to crude rape jokes (people showing their ignorance about rape, no surprise there!), gay jokes and attacks on Noonan’s looks. There’s no discussion whatsoever about policy I note.

Anyone who considers entering politics in this country must be mad if the above comments pass for legitimate political debate in this country. Personal insults are all 90% of the commentators seem to be able for.

So he can be told that that their not changing their interest rates and that they have to tax us more and up our prices more until we,re basically on the verge of poverty, however while our government gets to swan around on €200,000 a year….hmmm who got us into this mess??….so why the f**k are we the one,s paying for it ..

Plucker up Mikey

Mick Collins I agree with everything you said in your comment. But no need to worry those knuckle scrapers are unable to hold a pencil to vote. Such ignorance is shocking.

Go wan Noonan! You tell em!
