Petition Tag - irish government
The Irish government did not allow for the fact that economic booms are cyclical.
Their policies have left us with a crumbling health service, underfunded education system, an 8.3% unemployment rate and an economy in free fall. After calling an early budget they found they had miscalculated by €8 billion.
Now they plan to have the electorate pay for the mismanagement of successive Fianna Fail governments. They've tried cutting back on education and on medical card's for over 70s but have had to role back somewhat on these. They have recently announced that they want to cut Child Benefit and Lone Parents Allowance, thereby hitting the worst off.
The electorate were duped into believing that the government would be "a safe pair of hands" with regard to the economy but now circumstances have changed and we deserve a second chance at correcting the mistake of voting them in. We should get them out before they do more damage.... could the replacement be any worse?
2. We have no confidence in our Government 
Following the recent health scares, government pay rises, ministers going to prison for fraud and the lack of
support that Fianna Fail have given to the people of Ireland since 1994 Ireland is slowly going down the tubes.
This country is getting deeper and deeper into debt and Our Taoiseach has given himself a pay rise of 38.000 euro.
3. Please help find our missing people
THE MISSING PERSONS HELPLINE WAS DISCONTINUED WITH EFFECT FROM 31 MARCH 2005 FOLLOWING WITHDRAWAL OF FUNDING FROM DEPT OF JUSTICE AND LAW REFORM.
The Irish Missing Persons Helpline is based in Dublin and works with the Garda Missing Persons Unit and the Missing in Ireland Support Service (M.I.S.S.) to ensure there is a support service for families and friends of Missing Persons.
4. Child Abuse Prevention in Ireland
Child abuse in Ireland is growing. This is simply because of the failures of our justice system and our legislators to impliment harsh laws in order to bring these atrocities against children under control.
