it will give ya an insight into how bad politics and politicians have let things slip when even if he had cried us a river we'd have no way of knowing if he was genuine!!
the world is upside down and those currently in charge if fixing it are not to be trusted!!

So they fix it but are not to be trusted, hemmm does not compute, scenario,

they did fook all and they lied they are not to be trusted,


they did something and said sorry, they are not to be trusted, if I am not wrong it is something the people of Ireland are and have been crying out for, disclosure,

it has to start somewhere, for the politicians (not the right people to run a country, economy,) to understand to tell the people what is really going on will not kill them.

Have they no respect for Dáil Éireann?

you are right and i look forward to the day that politicians have enough fear of the public backlash to give us honest efforts and answers.

I dont think kenny would have the skills to actually fake it, btw people are making it like he actaully broke down and cry, He had a little emotional stutter at the end of his speech and had to clear his throat, For those that missed it

Fair play to him if it was genuine. Would have though he'd cry while he wrote the speech.


Couldn't even see his mascara run

Bertie was the man for the makeup, 37k in one year, but he looked lovely.

I find it strange you were watching his groin area during the speech.

The women in question were happy with Enda's apology, that's the only thing that matters really.

That's exactly what I thought.

Kenny is a knob jockey of the highest order, he hasn't had an original idea since he got into government. FFS the cretin even copied one of Obama's speeches when Obama came to Ireland.

Fuck off Kenny, nobody's falling for your bullshit.

There are many around him who will lapp it up and regurgitate it, creating lovely roses.

He's a bad man. He made an apology that other bad men didn't make. Bertie & Cowen were just as capable of saying sorry. Much as it breaks my heart to see that fuhken ***** run my country, I tip my hat to him this time.

It was David Cameron who had to make the official apology for Bloody Sunday. Lots of people don't like him or the Tories, but it was the right thing to do, no matter who said the words.

Oh, but there like us, you know, the commoners. They can't wear a suit, they must dress like us, since they aren't those other bourgeoisie TDs.

I have expect Mick to wear a Nike tracksuit to the next one:P

As was hitler, but he did not have the pension, plus he decided to take maters into his own hand at the end, we are fools and will be fools till we get away from, it is and there is nothing can do about it.

What nobody seems to be saying is that Martin McAleese was either incapable of investigating what went on and writing the report or he was pressured by something/someone to keep certain things out of it.

Several former residents of The Laundries have spoken publicly about having suffered physical abuse whilst there yet the report says there is no evidence of any physical abuse.

Also, only a fool would believe that The Laundries didn't make a profit.

Why is Martin McAleese above criticism?

Why is what amounts to either his lies or his incompetence going unquestioned?

Honestly some people are never happy. Some Irish people here would rather dip their balls in hot wax then be happy. No wonder suicide is so high. Perpetual negativity. Well done lads.

repsol

I thought Enda was pathetic for crying over something that basically had nothing to do with him.Made him look soft as ****e.I don't think anyone should get a penny until the religious orders are forced to cough up a big percentage of what is owed.They have gotten away with murder in the past financially.I think surviving people who claim abuse should get a payment capped at about 20 grand.Nothing for the families,they weren't the ones being abused.

Who is this spokesman Steven O'Riordan and what is his connection does anyone know to the laundries?

Certainly, words need to be followed by action. But the apology tonight was quite clear in its message :


He said: "I, as Taoiseach, on behalf of the State, the Government and our citizens deeply regret and apologise unreservedly to all those women for the hurt that was done to them."


"This is a national shame for which I'm deeply sorry and offer my full apologies."

That lame report only deals with a small fraction of the women and children made slaves in laundries by the catholic church and their daughters of Satan.

The report also states there was no real profits made by these slave workshops but several years ago there was a program called states of fear which showed turnover figures as high as £100000 for a single laundry in a county Cork town.

Let's look at the maths of it, they took payment from most departments of the civil service whether for uniforms and work clothing or for catering and hospital laundry, they also did "washing" for the Army Navy and AirCorps as well as the Gardai and prison service. They also would have had private work from hotels and restaurants. To keep customers from switching to their few competitors they would be a little cheaper but still charged almost the going rate.

Now their outgoings were nothing like their competitors, the laundries paid NO wages to their slaves! They were in fact getting payments from the state for feeding and providing clothing and education for many of the girls in their care who were still considered minors! They took Babies from young women and put them into their own orphanages where they fed them very little and gave them no education or clothing yet they were all the time sending begging letters to the state for EXTRA payments for feeding and clothing and educating these little bastards.

Is Kenny sincere? not a bit! he and the rest of them couldn't give a sh1t as long as it doesn't affect their salary and extras!

It was clearly sincere and in no way feigned.

Some people never stop complaining, jeez.

If he hadn't been so completely full of it for the past two years, and lied about virtually everything, then people would be less critical.

Therefore, it's completely reasonabl to presume he is an insincere liar, not to be trusted, in my opinion.
