When I told my 96 year old
mother today, that my travel
card was cancelled by the
Fine Gael Government, she
reacted with a helpless sense
of hopelessness for all she had
done in her lifetime as a staunch
Fianna Fail member (currently
the life president of the Mallow
branch). It was many the time
Charley Haughey dined in our
house and now this, this is a
N.A.M.A, Government she insisted.

Don't worry she said, I will ring
Kevin O'Keeffe and he will get
it back for you, were her last words.

Don't be bothering him about it,
this is not something I am going to
pursue, I will make my feelings felt
before the next general election when
I publish " The NAMA Government "
thank you for furnishing the title.

Foot note for readers.
I am a retired man with no
pension because I worked
all over the world for the
past 45 years since I left
Ireland, mostly seasonal
and never PAYE.
I did not apply for
a non contributory pension
out of the principal, that I felt
as though I never contributed
to Ireland. I applied for the
Travel Pass, because it was
Mr Haughey's gift to the state.
( I knew him personally )
The current Fine Gael Party has
Fascist DNA in its genes.
I will wait for the return of Fianna Fail
to apply for The Travel Pass.
