Lost Leaders ......... the Granny Harney.

category national | rights, freedoms and repression | other press author Monday December 20, 2004 00:56author by ipsiphi Report this post to the editors

the girth of Harney's ambition has been measured.

H.E. Mary Mc Aleese, President of Ireland, an Uachtaran has called [as is her perogative under the constitution (a.k.a. the little blue book)] a meeting of the Council of State to consider and moot the proposals of the Mammy Harney who maybe some day a "Granny Harney"' :-

that pensioners of the 2nd richest state in the EU forced to pay 80% of their state pensions to the cost of public nursing homes.

(The 2nd richest state in the EU bit is standard PD propaganda and media manipulation).

This is reading and optional video material suitable for intermediate and upper intermediate level, standard Irish media accent.
Just follow the link and download the national broadcasting networks audio file and watch the Irish TV.
This is also educational material suitable for "civics" students and those abroad who are considering living or working in the EU state of Ireland.

there may be a test issued later, we're not on holidays yet.

I last wrote about the Mammy Harney when Joe Higgins was imprisoned in 2003. I was also then considering a general theorem of time, which could have saved people lots of cash. But I lost interest... & a good editor bzzzted it from the comments. "juvenalia".

Since then, the Mammy Harney hasn't gone away you know, and the blatent disregard for poverty and those who aren't "competitive has gone unchecked.
Together with the other spectre of christmas misery, Minister Mc Dowell (who charged by his electorate, citizenry and the EU to create cities which welcome migrant communities to non-ghetto-ised and secure environments...

just like gets it wrong so so much know what i mean?

refresh-
You don't need the PDs.
They are not an essential constituency for the good governance of Ireland.

oh Mammy Granny Harney,
you have saved in the best modern way,
and will not sit your last years "in caritas" of nuns or smiling public men.

I'd write you were a cold hearted bitch, but someone would sue me so I never will put in a grammatical unambigious way.
