The government already understands the predicament that many homeowners face with. Government grants home repair were designed to assist homeowners who basically do not have the financial resources. If you want to save money, one way to stop spending as much per month is do some simple home repairs. For instance, leaking faucets and running toilets – both are caused by minor problems, in the case of faucets it's usually a bad washer, and toilets are usually caused by a bad flapper. Both repairs take little effort, not much time, and are far cheaper than a cash advance for a plumber.
If the Kennedy homestead in Ireland meant so much to them, and they multi-millionaires, why was it left to tumble and why are the Irish people to now pick up the bill for it's restoration and an extension to honor the late Senator Edward? They spend more on Christmas decorations at their compound in Massachusettes every year than would have 'upgraded' the place several times since? Romancing the Kennedys is one thing. A reality check another.
A tourism site at the Birthplace of the Ancestor of John F. Kennedy will bring in millions in tourism for the pittance that has to spent on it, Anyone who can't see that has only lard between their ears.
Amazing isn't it that thsi shower of inbred Fianna Fail gobs****S that Irealnd calls their government,can't find funding for school repairs, cervical cancer screening for teenage girls, who are cutting social welfare benefits but can still find the funds to build a memorial to Ted Kennedy in Wexford and can reduce de price of de drink to stimulate sales. The sooner 'Shrek' and the gobdaws he has surrounded himself with in cabinet are dispatched to the private sector the better.
The children of Ireland changed history, and the world, for the better. This will be a tribute to both.
Rather ironic this "honor" happening now with tens of thousands of Irish reportedly looking to emigrate, since it was Bobby and Teddy Kennedy that spearheaded the changes in US immigration laws which had once favored the Irish and other Europeans and instead called for increased immigration from Third World countries. The result? Today you're far more likely to hear somebody with a Pakistani accent on the streets of New York than an Irish brogue.
When you consider the millions of acres and properties the land commission took into its control over the years to let a site like this still remain in the ownership of a local farmer beggars belief.
