The Lies They Tell - Part Three

In the 2002 Fianna Fail general election manifesto, Bertie Ahern promised an extra 2000 Gardai to target street crime and drugs.

But in 2007, we got instead a Garda Reserve of 125 yellow pack police.

In the 2002 Fianna Fail general election manifesto, Bertie Ahern promised 15,000 affordable houses every year for five years.

But the Affordable Homes Partnership was only finally established in 2005, and since then has delivered just over 600 homes, most of which are in the Dublin area.

In the 2002 Fianna Fail general election manifesto, Bertie Ahern promised a metro linking to Dublin Airport.

But in 2007, we're still waiting to even see the plans.

In the 2002 Fianna Fail general election manifesto, Bertie Ahern promised 3,000 extra hospital beds.

But in 2007, Mary Harney is giving land on hospital sites to developers and asking them to build the 3,000 needed beds within the private sector.

By their lies and broken promises, should they be judged.
