Brian Cowen has announced that the infamous Fianna Fail tent at the Galway Races is no more.

Some of the posters over at The Property Pin had some amusing comments to make on it:

Brian’s no fool.

Scraps the tent.
Avoids having to face the builders.
And comes accross as cleaner than Bertie, clean slate, no more FF tied to the builders.

Nice one BC.

They’re downsizing to a telephone box - they are not expecting many solvent builders at Galway this year.

He knows that being seen to be cosy with builders when the full scale of the mugging of young Irish people becomes apparent over the next couple of years won’t be a wise move.

I disagree, in the 70’s they were probably the farmers party with the IFA pulling the strings. In the 80’s, it was the industrialists like Goodman, Smurfit and co.

They’ll move on to the next profitable donor-industry now - this is as sure a sign as you’ll get that property has had it day. BC is cutting the apron-strings, the CIF are on their own now.

I have to say I agree with most of them. As anyone who knows me already knows, I’m no fan of Fianna Fail but its refreshing to see the new Taoiseach making some changes that appear to be for the greater good, even if there are possible ulterior motives that can explain them.
