Governing is ultimately about choices

Pat Leahy's piece in Saturday's edition of The Irish Times is well worth a read.

It includes a most interesting quote from Barack Obama's most recently published memoir.

Leahy argues that governing is ultimately about choices.

It's a great piece and the next time you are tempted to criticise the Government it might do no harm at all to think of the difficult job they have.

And especially in these uncharted waters, which appears in no text books, Government is constantly having to maker choices.

Damned if they do, damned if they don't.
