The Indo Daily: Election promises under scrutiny- The Government’s six-month report card
Indo Daily
With end-of-year exams in full swing, students aren’t the only ones who are being marked on their performance.
Six months into this new Government coalition, and all seems to be oddly quiet in the world of Irish politics.
Yes, we’ve had the furore over the Regional Independent Group’s support for the Coalition, Verona Murphy’s survival of no-confidence and the ruckus that followed Michael Lowry’s memorable two-finger salute.
But since the dust settled on all the ruaille buaille of those turbulent early weeks in January, business has been unusually quiet in Dáil Éireann.
So, what has the Government actually been doing - and what has it achieved so far?
With grand pre-election promises around childcare, tax cuts and housing, is the Coalition living up to its commitments? Or is it simply too early to call our elected officials to account?
In today’s Indo Daily, Mary Regan is joined by Ireland Editor Fionnán Sheahan and Irish Independent Political Correspondent Gabija Gataveckaite to take a political temperature check of Leinster House and to give the Government its six-month report card.
