Brian Cowen, Irish Taoiseach, has stepped down as leader of Fianna Fail opening the way for new elections and a change in national leadership.
God knows who will take his place. Michael Martin of Fianna Fail? Enda Kenny of Fine Gael? A coalition of Labour with Fine Gael?
After months of the desperate voices of the Irish public, who have been strangled by harsh budget cuts, something had to change. Young families are leaving daily for Canada and Australia. Who will be left there to pick the country up off its knees and rebuild?
As an occasional visitor and photographer of Ireland, it has broken my heart to hear these stories daily on RTE on my computer here in Brooklyn. Hope the Irish people are given a good choice and have a chance for some kind of future so their children can stay in Ireland.
