The Tánaiste said our kind of politics will bankrupt the country. His Government is doing a pretty good job with a housing crisis, a health crisis and all the other crises it has created. He cannot go around boasting about Ireland being the best performing economy and saying there is no money. He simply cannot do both. There is a huge amount of wealth available. He is just not willing to pay nurses and workers. He is happy to pay to lift the cap on bank CEOs but he is not happy to pay nurses. What really annoyed nurses, however, was to hear the Tánaiste going on about Brexit. The nurses were being blamed or linked in with Brexit. That is incredible.
