Dear Voter,

I am committed to making the changes you wish to see in this country. The changes cover many areas but three changes are being repeated to me everyday by you and your neighbours and they are Job Creation, Tax Reform and Political Reform.

Political Reform

admin — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 09:55:09 +0000

New Politics is the most ambitious programme for political reform since the 1930s, Fine Gael wants to restore trust in our democratic institutions and have the concerns of the Citizen, rather than elites, placed at the centre of government. New Politics tackles the particular weaknesses of:

A hugely centralised State with few real checks and balances;
An over-powerful Executive that increasingly ignores the Dáil;
A proliferation of State agencies and Quangos that answer to no one and a model of Social Partnership which effectively excluded the Dáil; and
An outdated budget and fiscal system that makes it extremely difficult to manage the State’s finances properly.

Fine Gael Small Business Policy

admin — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 11:50:42 +0000

Small and medium sized business (SMEs) are the backbone of the Irish economy, employing more than 700,000 people, generating €90 billion in annual turnover and are significant contributors to the national finances. Fine Gael is proposing a strategic and focused Five-Point Stimulus Plan for the Micro/SME sector, a practical plan that aims to create and sustain an entrepreneurial environment which encourages ideas and sound risk-taking.

We had a great meeting in the KCR House on Tuesday evening, with a strong turn out and a real exchange of views. The main issues raised were the impact of the Universal Social Charge and the need for real reform in government.

Thank you to everyone who came along and participated.

A New Choice

It’s time for change and reform in the way we run our Government. I believe politics is broken and we need new people with different backgrounds to get involved and ensure that this time we get real reform and change.

During the 1990s I started my own small business and have run it since through good and bad times. At 44 years of age I have nearly 20 years of experience of what it takes to run a business, create employment for people and to manage change.

I support the total reform of all our political institutions, including reducing the number of TDs and the abolition of the Seanad. Fewer politicans, paid less, is what the country needs and what it should have.

I will use my experience gained with my own business to support policies which are designed to get people back to work and create jobs. All the efforts of the next government must focus on jobs and people.

I ask for your No. 1 vote on Friday the 11th March to ensure change and reform.

Thanks. Colm
