Should he fall, or will he be pushed?

By hutchmania

So after last weeks debacle with Noel Dempsey and his little announcement over provisional licence holders not being allowed to drive without being accompanied by a full licence holder of more than two years, who thinks Mr. Dempsey should be asked to fall on his sword? Personally I think that he should made to jump on it, from the top of a very tall building! The mans career is littered with bad decisions during his time in office. We all remember his plan to reintroduce university fees, what a genius idea that was! If people were calling for his resignation over the Aer Lingus move from Shannon issue, then they should be demanding it now. The fact is that this latest announcement was simply a ploy by the minister to take peoples attention away from the Shannon move. This is more evident with the postponement of the decision until June (a move which people still argue is a mistake) it has given him some breathing room as nobody is asking why he did nothing about the Shannon move back in June of this year. Or why if as he claims it was not brought to his attention, why was it not brought to his attention. This argument in itself seems to be rather dubious to me personally, as I find it hard to believe that the civil servants in the department of transport failed to notify the minister. So this announcement should not be used to divert peoples attention, it should be used by the media and the public to show Mr. Dempsey’s incompetance as a minister, and it is just another decision in a long list as to why this man should not be allowed to hold office.

    I second this, say whatever you like about the British political system but at least they have a tradition of Falling on ones sword when the brown stuff hits the fan, over here all is forgiven, the minister gets “full support and backing” of his superiors and life goes on.
