John McGuinness: A Fianna Failer with balls?

- McGuinness: Refreshingly blunt.

Was watching maverick FF TD John McGuinness (Carlow-Kilkenny) on Prime Time last night, and was very impressed with his un-Fianna Fail straight talking about the need for public sector reform. Those of us who work in the private sector, and make up 81% of the workforce, as well as generate the wealth to fund the other 19%, aren’t actually anti-public sector. But we want someone to tell a few home truths, as McGuinness did.
Yet another reason for having a National Constituency so that we can elect a few TDs who actually speak in the national interest.
