    I'm trying to watch the coverage of the debate on NAMA on RTE.
    the house has now been suspended twice due to a sinn fein TD refusing to do what the chair has asked him. i.e SHUT UP!

    surely after he was named he should have been removed from the Dail?

    is there no procedure to physicly remove a TD when suspended?????

    they interrupted coverage to report that a Dublin Bus has crashed into a Luas.

    naturally i hope nobody is injured.

    is this a sign from god that NAMA is a wreck?!

    Nope... It's a sign from God that Dublin Bus Drivers are not the most reliable blokes around!

    A lot of FF back-benchers looking decidedly nervy. I'd say they don't know which way the ball is going to bounce next when all this starts to spin out.

    As a member of that party, I suspect the problem is they don't understand it and the look is one of confusion!

    I can't believe how easy it is for the government to bankrupt the country to falsely prop up a collapsing property market :(

    Sadly I suspect the old party line will be followed - and it will pass.

    The Greens announcement last weekend is a fairly clear indicator that they will back it. FF will tow the line and NAMA will become a reality. That said we are a good way from enactment so there should now be far more focus on mitigating the risk and adding any powers to NAMA that will mean that it is given the best possible opportunity to be successful.

    I think we need a mass protest of epic proportions to scare the rats into jumping ship.

    Lenihan speaks as if narrating the lord of the rings.

    Always sounds like he is spinning some sort of eipc tale of adventure

    So the figure is 77BILLION of taxpayers money-less a 30% discount!

    well excuse this fool but by my maths 30% of what might be nothing=NOTHING:confused:


    and hiding behind obamas rhetoric does not change that!

    I'm getting sick of this "haircut" bull****; we've paid 7 - 8 billion OVER the value of the loans....that's NOT a "discount".

    The banks should have been glad that NAMA was prepared to take their ****-ups off their books, period; no "based on future long-term guesswork is NOT ACCEPTABLE, ye comtemptible shower of Fianna Failure ****! :mad:

    The banks ****ed up, and they should be the ones who get themselves out of their own mess; if they'd made a profit, would we have seen part of it ? NO!

    Richard Bruton's idea of a National Recovery Bank sounds a lot more convincing than NAMA.

    Joan Burton is giving it socks now. It is an absolute f*cking disgrace that there are hardly any members of the Dail there to listen to the opposition to NAMA. Bunch of theiving scumbags.

    If they stick to party lines like the Greens did in the vote (and susequent rejection) to support Crumlin Hospital, then NAMA sadly will go through.

    FF with the Greens and the Independents will get it passed and thats what it boils down to.

    Big Hair Burton should shut her cake hole and make her contribution afterwards.
