Enda Sends SOS |

Following his debate with An Taoiseach, Enda's "unsinkable" contract is about to founder as his contract has been completely dismantled.
My decision to relaunch the web site was taken following last Thursday's debate during which I sat incredulous as Mr Kenny's announcements and fanciful defences of what now appears to be to be not a contract, but a collection of ill conceived, poorly considered, and yet to be confirmed thoughts with potential Government partners. The updated www.contractforabetterireland.com web site gives the 1.4 million people who viewed the debate a chance to get accurate information on his so called solemn contract. |

Speech by Minister Roche at Wicklow's Historic Gaol, Wicklow Town, Saturday 25th February 2006:
"Cynics might derive a certain delight about the venue for tonight's celebrations. However in a sense it is very fitting that we gather here in Wicklow Gaol a building that bridges the period of the 1600's and this new millennium to mark the countdown to Wicklow 400.
The Gaol is also a reminder of the turbulent and sometimes violent periods of the past four centuries." |
