She's naturally curly I think.. She's much nicer with the straight hair, but obviously must have broken the GHD...

Gilmore looks awful stupid after making that statement about "Labour's way or Frankfurt's way"... It reminds me of Neville Chamberlain's "Peace in our time" speech..

Gilmore, the eijet.

Poor Vinny.

He doesnt even know when he's kowtowing to the right.

shop steward isn't a proper job either. the relevance is that she's a self-proclaimed voice of the ordinary taxpayers, yet too important to work a normal job herself.

I think she was an employee of Aer Lingus.

She certainly wasnt an employee of Ryanair anyway...

Simon Coveney saying that we are being described as 'plucky' might return to haunt him.

It really does solidify the impression that the Government are more interested in getting platitudes from Europe than any meaningful concessions on debt.

take everything

Donnelly cutting through the crap again.

is Claire a taxpayer? has she ever had a proper 9-5 job?*


*politician isn't a proper job.

What do you do yourself out of interest?

Wouldn't be a fan of Claire Daly or any other politician myself tbh but do you reckon you'd be able for a half 11 chat (live on TV3) with VB every once in a while?

Handy number number yeah?!

This kinda plucky, Coveney?

i'd be grateful if you could find some reference to her actual job, as i can't find anything beyond her being a shop steward in an airline brought to the brink of collapse due to an erosion of competitiveness and innovation.

i pay taxes and earn my keep, that's what i do. Like the other socialist elites in this country, Clare Daly is far removed and has nothing in common with the ordinary taxpayers she claims to represent.

You have to be an employee of a company to be the shop steward.

I think you're trying to play the woman rather than the ball. She's entitled to her opinion, disagree with that, but don't attack her on something you're not even sure about.

Sardonicat

So, there's no actual naming and shaming happening then?

If you are Clare Daly or a 'Community Representative' or a member of the Traveller community Vincent gives you a platform to say any old rubbish you like, unchallenged.

Good loser

Vinnie thinks you can take one or two quotes from the record and hang someone for it.

Simon Coveney could probably research VB's record and find plenty to damn him.

That is not how the world, or even politics, works - except for simpletons.

So different from Jonathan Dimbleby.

read the original post; i asked a question, that's not attacking her. you haven't provided any reference to her actual job in aer lingus, so don't ask me to prove a double-negative, i.e prove she doesn't have a normal job. silly, silly reply.

From what i've seen Claire Daly, Joe Higgins, et al get as hard a time as any other politician.

I do however accept the soft touch VB gives to the Community Activists ( case in point being the indulgent Fatima Mansions special a while back... i'd love him to just have said "So, all those layabouts and junkies spawning out of your corner of Dublin 8... why did so few of them get themselves together with a job and free college education before the recession hit?"... was never gonna happen though )

My overall point is that while you may disagree with a lot about a TD's opinions and way of conducting themselves you should accept that it's a pretty tough interview process and by no means an easy job!

It's a bit silly to attack Daly on her employment status and not on what she's saying. That's what's really silly.

Especially when you have no idea what her employment status actually is.

i'm attacking her hypocrisy. she trots out those usual populist soundbites about the vulnerable taxpayers, who need protection from the likes of her political party. As if she has ever been in the position of holding down a normal job it calls into question what insight she actually has about taxpayers, or job creation for that matter.

I thought that Simon Coveney explained the writing off the short term debt very well by reducing the debt by six billion, however, it is a pity though that sort of talk didn't last much longer IMO.

I think 30 billion euro with interest of 17 billion euro will not help us in many ways
because is a lot to handle for Ireland to take in. If the economy is the same state in a few years time, it will take us a very long long time before we pay it all back.
