Disclaimer: This list is going to be long and just full of me ranting. Feel free to read it but at your own discretion!

• They are cutting money from education and healthcare, possibly the two most important areas of our system, and the ones that lack money as it is.
• They are talking about introducing college fees again. This will mean a huge decrease in the number of people attending college, which in the long run means a less educated workforce and no MNC's setting up here because they get better conditions from other countries.
• They are imposing all these taxes on the ordinary, working people, yet they have huge wages plus expenses that don't have to be accounted for. How is that fair?
• Pat Kenny earns more than the President of the United States. Pat Kenny, a tv presenter, versus President Obama, the man who determines whether the world succeeds or not.
• They are cutting huge amounts of money from Environmental research even though now is the time to be investing in it because peak oil has been reached. We are now in crisis. That means we have about 3-5 years oil supply left.
• A €12 million cervical cancer vaccination programme for young girls was cut because the Government ''don't have enough money.'' What happened to all the money generated during the Celtic Tiger? And also, €12 million is a relatively small amount when viewed through the eyes of a minister's expenses. This programme could save hundreds or lives every year. Obviously, saving money is more important to them.
• How can America, the most powerful country in the world, get out of recession before an island? We still have about 2 years to go, and we're only a fraction the size of the States.
• Don't they realise that imposing higher taxes is only going to cripple the country? It's not helping anything.
• It's not encouraging us to get out there and spend, which is the only way to pick the country off the ground.
