    Ben, Ben, Ben, we want no more of that moving forward crap. Cowen used it and we all went back further each time it was used.

    He's saying the exact opposite. He's saying that those who caused this need to be investigated. It's those that wish to absolve those people that bang on about 'moving forward'.

    Ben was "watching the Corrib gas field" and snorting it too.

    Ben Dunne sounds like an auld fella ranting in a pub.

    So, a guy is willing to put his head above the parapet and call for an investigation into what went on in this country and he's immeadiately dismissed?
    Beginning to think we get what we deserve in this country..

    I don't want legislators who openly break the law and who are involved in illegal activity.
    We had enough of them who believed they were above the law.

    His 'crime' is victimless. Therefore, it really doesn't matter. At least not to anybody with a bit of common sense.

    If Ming ends up with mental illness then we the tax payers will have to pay for his mental health treatment.

    Sorry, missed that. Don't agree with him there; i'd guess he's looking at it from the point of view that IMF intervention, ultimately, might result in a more fertile landscape for business.
    He's very wrong, there. But at least he's talking about bringing those responsible for this crisis to book.

    Maybe you like to condone the use of illegal drugs by politicians. Then we are expected to respect the law that these legislators contribute to.

    Vincent Browne is beginning to be a pain in the hole and to reveal his true self.
    He attacks Ben Dunne and others for being 'rich'; as if there's something wrong with that.
    He, ultimately, defends those who, perhaps, broke the law/aided and abetted by some politicians in order to become rich; in the process, ruining the country.
    He claims to be a socialist and spends half his programme time banging on about social equity, yet when he had socialists on in the run up to the election, he rubbished them; he didn't just play devils advocate/question them, he rubbished the very premise that socialism is based upon.
    Beginning to think he's just the establishment's 'pet' socialist; he doesn't really want anything to change and he will always stand up for FF/govt politicians when serious questions regarding the legality of their actions are asked.

    If you looked into the drug you would see the latest findings found:

    http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/nation/cannabis-use-accelerates-mental-illness/story-e6frg6nf-1226002449477

    Upto 20% of new cases of schizophrenia are linked to the use of cannabis that would not have happened if the person had avoided the drug.

    Ben: "They built these estates, they weren't even near a river or anything. Were they built on septic tanks? I don't know, I'm not a technical man."

    Ben Dunne - terrible that houses were being built far away from rivers for sewage disposal!

    As he says 'I am not a technical person'

    If legislators banned butter tomorrow would you just accept it?

    The laws against marijuana are completely dishonest. They stem from the US, where it was initially banned because those involved in the paper industry feared the competition of hemp growers. Then, under pressure from the pharmaceutical industry, it was lumped into a wider prohibition of opiates for no scientific reason whatsoever.

    Maybe he would. How in the hell does that make what's happening alright, though?
    'Ah jaysus, shure he's as bad as the rest of them...'
    Does anything ever change in this country?
