It may be somewhat harsh but possibly fair to say the Government is not particularly loved or cherished by the people. Most, I suppose, are not. I recently went back to review the relevant Fine Gael manifesto, remembering the deep sense of political change I hoped for when there was a change of Government in 2011. It is the document of a party that spent a long time wondering what it would do when in power. It is loaded with brave, fresh ideas to remake the country. It has to be said it has an awful bang of Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party off it-----
