Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein)

-----of promises the Labour Party has broken since entering office. Before the election, the party was crystal clear. It promised not to cut child benefit, introduce student fees or increase the registration charge. It even attacked its buddies in Fine Gael for proposing a 2% increase in VAT, a tax which, as we all know, will hit the poorest hardest. In spite of adopting these positions, the Labour Party has U-turned.
