Election promises under scrutiny: The Government’s six-month report card

Six months into the new Government, and all seems to be oddly quiet in the world of Irish politics.  Yes, we’ve had the furore over the Regional Independent Group’s support for the Coalition, Verona Murphy’s survival of no-confidence and the ruckus that followed Michael Lowry’s memorable two-finger salute.  But since the dust settled on all the “ruaille buaille” of those rocky first days in January, business has been unusually quiet in Dáil Éireann.  So, what has this Government actually achieved so far?  Has it lived up to its numerous election promises? Or is it simply too early to call our elected officials to account?
