RUSH, RUSH, RUSH ...

Leaving aside the very small number of our TDs (Republic of Ireland "elected representatives" to parliament) who are at present genuinely trying to have all matters relating to the Finance Bill deferred until AFTER the General Election, the rest of our TDs well know (without "letting on" to the voters of course) that if they look after the banks, the banks will look after them.

And, despite all of their glib talk, that's ALL the vast majority of our TDs seem to care about it, or so it appears to me at least. The people of the Republic of Ireland who vote them into power don't seem to really matter to our "elected representatives" (once they've got their votes that is), and neither does the sovereign independent State of the Republic of Ireland and its written Constitution: Bunreacht na hEireann (which literally means "The Basic Law of the Republic of Ireland" in the Celtic language).

So, RUSH, RUSH, RUSH is what now best suits the banks to get the legislation the banks want into place, and that's exactly what the vast majority of our TDs are doing at the present time.

Then, once the bank-benefitting legislation is securely in place BEFORE the General Election, "sledge-hammers and dynamite" will not be enough to remove it afterwards: and our grossly corrupt legal profession, who seem to care even less about our written Constitution than our TDs do, can (I believe) be fully relied upon -- 100% -- to attend to that very important aspect of things.
