    I would be happy to debate with anyone on my love of and right to hunt/shoot/fish. However, my home is too far from an exchange for landline broadband and my dongle will give me only dial-up speeds ............ So much for Govt. promises and the 'New Smart Technology" generation.:rolleyes:

    Unstickying as this is now just about completed.
    There was one response on hunting stuff but I didn't think very much of it if I'm honest.

    I read alot (not all) of the questions posed to the TD. Most were responded to with non answers, vagueness, towing the party line, and my personal favourite " thats the way things were, we could not change them", as per his response when questioned on the absurb wages, golden handshake and pension of "Mr" Neary.

    He tried playing the sympathy card of how the Greens were being sectioned out as a distraction technique by FF, and to some extent i agree there, but if someone were making a fool of any of us we would simply not associate with them. Now i know in politics its not quite that simple, but yet they (Greens) still support FF to get policies into place irrespective of the reprecussions or consequences.

    Anyway as this is not a political forum, well done Sparks on a well worded and precise question and rebutal. Very well put. Its a pity he side stepped the issue and tried the "victiim" route rather than simply answer the question.

    For all the "hype" around the debate i think we are no more informed now than before Mr Gogarty began his responses. Just my opinion.

    That's no surprise to me. I figured as much before the thing started. I don't understand how people thought it would be any different. Whether in front of TV cameras, radio mic's, public meetings or on boards.ie they've always got their game face on and the party line at hand.

    As I said, the mice don't give a toss.

    I am not surprised that Mr Gogarty didn't reply on the Salmon.
    It is hard to defend the kind of indefensible inaction that the Green Party have pursued since in power.

    He turned up, that's about all. Not surprised by his contribution, nor disappointed as I did not expect much anyway.

    He is an ambitious little g#t, prepared to go to lengths to get some PR, e.g. baying at Stagg, particularly as he is launching his campaign for the Lord Mayoralty! Looking forward to seeing him getting his comeuppance!:D:D

    As his Boards participation clearly was a PR precursor to his latest LM antic and he ignored anything to do with hunting (excluding the dismissive swipe at 'rogue elements') might I suggest that this is now more suited to the Politics Board and be closed/removed/binned?
    Thanks,
    P.
