The words "openness, transparency, accountability and for the public good" have been used in regard to the Progressive Democrats. Fianna Fáil also aspires to these values. I cannot see how these words fit in with this Bill. Words that fit better are "secrecy, arrogance, lacking credibility and bringing politics into disrepute". For the past couple of years we have tried to improve the image of politics and politicians. This legislation does nothing to serve politics.
