Sisters of Mercy?

What's mercy-ful about them?

Was that Regina or an echo tape replying to Vincent's question re nun's non payment of compensation? What a waffler, she could have banged out some verbal ammo to save her skin, or acknowledge the obvious wrong done to the Magdalene victims.

How on earth did she become a politician :mad:

It was probably her experience as a director that brought her to the attention of FG.

Not sure what exactly V thought that talking talking to himself about the fact that men call each other c**ts and that it's also a name for the ladygarden had to do with anything.

The panel looked kinda confused.

I was sort of gobsmacked myself when he mentioned the V word...

Are you expecting me to defend Norris?

I thought it was inappropriate, rude and bordering on sexist.

Nor do I, but in fairness to him, he does have proper facts to back up his statements. On the corporation tax point, companies are able to avoid tax and not all are paying 12%. Look at the google and starbucks scandal in the UK. The same goes on here. And then FG man saying every company pays the 12%, I'm not a fan of either but what a bs statement.

Happyman42

in under of jaysus, where do FG get them? This guy is like a parody of a politician.

I like him but I wholeheartedly agree with you. He let himself down again today by withdrawing the remarks but not apologising to Regina.
