Ah sure Life's great in Ireland now. It's not Noonan's fault if no one else thinks so.

Why was this case prosecuted in the first place? Wouldn't be just to make more €€€€€ for the lawyers now would it?

Nah, just have Revenue send a customs unit out and have them seize the UK Jaguar that Jerry Beades has spent at least the last year swanning about in. No VRT or import duties paid. Seize it now.

Seán kept pressing him about his (lack of) answers in the Dáil on SiteServ. He finally snapped, and resorted to attacking RTÉ about some report which has nothing to do with Seán - shows he was under pressure.

When I was doing the Leaving if someone has suggested Mindfullness to me I'd have put them through the nearest wall (to relieve my stress);)

If you're going to have a guy on talking about how great West Side Story and then describe the "America" song, don't bull**** and pretend you know it - it's not a fight between two groups of girls, it's between the guys and the girls. So basically I'm now not remotely interested in the rest of what you have to say, because your research is crap.

I thought we were rid of Olan when the Mooney Show finished. He must have been jealous that the rest of the crew got a gig for the Dawn Chorus. Hope Brenda doesn't turn up on The Week In Politics.

Heard her battering down the mic. on Countrywide last Sunday morning or was it Saturday still forcing the words like a battering ram down the airwaves.

Had to hit the off button after a minute or two, couldn't take the delivery at that hour of the morning.

Blánaith turned up on something over the weekend as well.

Sure she'll be grand. Isn't there an election coming and the welfare will go up. When someone else picks up the tab for you all your life how can you be expected to be responsible with their money.

Yep - the poor are having such a great time on welfare, it's a wonder we're not all on it ... :rolleyes:

Well , I get the irony, board, but the attitude of that lady would genuinely boil the piss of any taxpayer struggling to make a living.

It's retorts like that get people's backs up.

Everybody knows that there are genuine people struggling out there,however,there are also plenty of chancers out there abusing the system, plenty of them.

Why can't people accept that and comment in a rational responsible way?

Because there is a gross disparity in the so called 'abuse' of said sytem-whilst 'chancers' drinking their child support or skimming an extra €28 a week on the dole are deserving of our criticism they don't don't even come close to those resplendent,serf-absorbed,cretinous 'proper' men in suits-now they ARE chancers

How is is the government passing on the cost? Irish water are replacing those lead pipes that are their responsibility; the expectation is that householders will deal with those pipes that are their responsibility.

If the wiring in my house was found to be unsafe, should I expect ESB Networks to make the repair?

The reaction from the couple was a bit OTT. While I wouldn't drink the water, I wouldn't be concerned about showering in it, or cleaning my teeth with it. And could they not get their supplies of drinking water from a friend or family member in a house unaffected by lead?

And what if ppl bought homes from the council,who should repair/replace the pipes then. The pipes were defective when fitted(admittedly this was not recognised at the time), should it still be up to the homeowners to replace them. It stinks just like the Pyrite debacle,homeowners left to live in unsafe homes until there's an election on the horizon.

We're drifting away from radio now. My previous answer still applies: the homeowner is responsible from the plumbing in the home. Any builder/vendor responsibility that ever existed is well and truly statute-barred.

The house I live in is about 35 years old, and was built to the standards then applicable. Do you think the builder still has obligations to me if a defect now becomes apparent? Does he have an obligation to me in relation to standards that have been imposed since it was built?

John Drennon as Head of Communications.. I dont understand that one... I always find him infuriating when I hear him on panel shows, with his smart ar$e remarks, his jocose tone and his desperate attempts to be funny... He contributes very little of substance..

Totally correct,only place these people can be hit is in the pocket.

If these charges are legal,and they are, then everyone using the service should pay.

Why should I stump up and my next door neighbour not?

Doesn't compute folks.

Since you ask ,and of course I know that you know right well mate.

You are just trying to draw me out, second attempt:D

It's 'WHATABOUTERY' like you can't answer a question or justify a stance by saying ' AAAh but what about......'

You address the point made and the subject.

Listening to those two bankers I'm reminded of the line from the Tom Crean play "I made a mistake" ... no way will either of these boyos admit to making a mistake. Lord but they find it impossible to admit to ever being wrong!

I'd say it's killing them to have to read those well crafted, supercilious PR gunk. Not an iota of regret, guilt or a scintilla of taking responsibility.

Anyway, I'm sure a nice lunch in a discreet venue is awaiting them after their encounter with lowly TD's ... how dreadfully traumatic for them.

I'd say they know they made an error of judgement but when you live,eat sleep and breathe a casino work style it would be utterly acceptable to get it wrong sometimes in order to accommodate a life of gambling.When you're too big to fail the only pain caused by them will fall on the people and they don't even try to pretend that they give a stuff about that.
