    Delighted to hear you're learning something lads, about your country's recent history.

    I remember those sectarian, hateful and violent days, only too well. I'm not as young as you think, although I'm complemented, that you thought I was. Thank God, the para-militaries eventualy saw sense and started to adopt John Hume/SDLP policies.

    Brilliant childish squabbling tonight between VB and Martin Mansergh.

    Vincent is a master at winding politicians up.

    I think Mark Twains words sum up Labour;

    "It is better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt"

    Martin Mansergh doesn't believe Ministers or TDs should take another pay cut.

    Mansergh talking about Dept of Finance official - "only taking 102,000 euro in pay"

    What planet is this guy living on?

    I agree. We're a nation of thick peasants, who'll always vote for populist parties. Labour (and Fianna Fail in the past) promise to cut nothing and they're "Great Fellas". The electorate will vote for what they want, instead of what's needed. All they see, is their own pocket - not the Nation, as a whole. We deserve what we get. :(

    Is Barry Andrews fit for purpose? That's Vincent's question tonight. Mr Andrews has declined to go on the show surprisingly enough.rolleyes.gif

    Jesus H.Christ, he's been on EVERYTHING else today, Koloman... I have no faith in Andrews, he is really stereotypical of the "son of the policitian" who would never get voted in on his own talent.. another ex school teacher...

    And I have no faith in the HSE.It has a lamentable history of failure to address the problem of child abuse and neglect, but is successful at spreading the disease of anti-social behaviour by moving problem families to new,hitherto, quiet neighbourhoods and ,of course,thereby failing to solve the initial problem.It is a seriously flawed bureaucracy.I'm afraid the overall complexity of the problem is too much for young Barry.

    Father John Lonergan on tonight promoting his book.. He knows everything of course now that he is out of it, when he couldnt even keep drugs out of Mountjoy all the time he was there.. ... Just put in the nets to stop drugs being thrown in to the exercise yard a few months ago when they got rid of him..

    Like yourself, I've a mate in the Prison Service. The new Governer is kickin' ass in there, at the moment. That riot a few weeks ago was all about the Prisoners testing him. He won - they lost. :cool:

    That point was put to him on (I think) the LLS a few weeks ago and he said the net was originally his idea

    That's not my recollection of it, but you could be right... It's just baffling to me.... Drugs are being thrown in to the exercise yard, how do you prevent it.? I dont understand how this wasnt implemented from the start ..

    John Lonergan is very camp, and pretty much of how I would have envisaged a stereotypical public service administrator... I couldnt imagine him maintaining control of a library never mind a prison..

    Actually now that you say it I think what he said was not that it was his idea but something like - the wheels were set in motion while he was Governor

    Typical words spoken from a "stereotypical public service administrator" - to paraphrase JonathanAnon. The words "Just do it", never occured to him. :(
