It just goes to show how fcuked this country is if people think Ming Flanagan is the answer to some of our problems.

Busted Flat.

I that the best the Labour party can put up in their defense, it explains a lot.

This guy hasn't a bulls notion - same old blah blah blah

It's a joke that Alex White is putting himself up for leadership. He won't even retain his seat at the next General Election

Who is Fillup,

I found this email I sent to Eamon Gilmore when Roisin shorthall resigned back in 2012, think I'll set up a psychic hotline!!

I was so saddened to hear the news today of your resignation as Junior Minister and from the Labour party, but I am so proud to finally see a publicly elected figure stand up for their beliefs and principals. To see Minister Reilly continue with the cute whore politics that I as a voter hoped were a thing of the past just stinks. As far as I can see the change I had hoped for in the new Government doesn’t seem to be materializing and it’s more of the same, jobs for the boys, help the rich and screw everyone else.

I have always supported the Labour party, but feel the longer they stay in bed with Fine Gael the worse it’s going to get, it’s a sad day for Irish politics. Eamon Gilmore should be ashamed of his decision to support Minister Reilly rather than his own party colleague. It would seem power really does corrupt, the Labour party are becoming unrecognizable as a party that I have always supported. Even worse than that what scares me more is I find myself agreeing with the Sinn Fein TDs when I hear their interviews and that is something I never thought would happen.

I love PBH, but frankly this show is boring the arse off me.

PBH making Sinn Fein look like Darth Sidious/Palpatine from the Star Wars films there

It would be preferable to listening to whingers telling us what they are entitled to and that they are not going to pay for anything. It's time these people got real...we are borrowing €10 billion each year to keep the country going. Some people would never be satisfied!

She sounds like an public sector worker who expected a pay raise for voting Labour.

1: More Jobs

I don't necessarily agreed with this woman / SF but she put this labour guy in his place.

its not the line Philip admit it. you just can't stick listening to him like the rest of us

It's easy to wipe the floor with people when armed with untried policies. SF policies are just words that people want to hear. Abolish water charges, abolish property tax etc..

If SF ever get in to Government in this country, Labour's carry on will be the last thing people will be crying about.

If SF ever get into Government, they'll be surprised to learn how slow the Civil Service can move, if they disagree with their "masters". Will be like Egypt when the Muslim Bros got in - the civil service ground to a halt

you could substitute Gilmore`s famous saying with"Frankfurt`s way or Sinn Fein`s way" probably with the same success

But aren't they all the same. Election promises on a Monday only to be broke by the Tuesday. How many times have we, the electorate, been promised the sun, moon and stars until the f*ckers get into government, and then they go, oh no, its worse than we thought and blah blah blah and we get nothing or hit with more charges.

The rhetoric coming from SF is scarily similar to that of the NAZI party in Germany in the 1920s. It just that the scapegoats are different.
If they ever get into power in this country, I will be emigrating.

Here we, normality returns

Might not have a choice, because SF's presence in Government (in my opinion) could have catastrophic effects on the jobs market in this country.

Busted Flat.

You can't have a SF supporter criticizing a LP/WP councillor on live radio, it wouldn't be fair or balanced. Or censorship.

it look probable now after the recent election that FF & SF will be bedfellows after the next GE, hard to imagine that 6 months ago...

There will be a few jobs in laundering, (mainly diesel and money).

It would seem so. I couldn't think of a worse combination tbh. :eek:

While the focus is on Lab doing so badly, FG had a terrible election as well but the media has largely ignored it...

I know of plenty of families who live in their council houses, dont work, get their back to school allowance, have 42" flat screens, go on foreign holidays and wont pay water charges.

And there was plenty of Johnny Builders and Mary Beuticians who took out huge mortages, went on a sun holiday, a ski holiday and a city break every year for 6 or 7 years who now cant afford to feed their families. And I'll end up paying for their water charges and LPT.

Harry Angstrom

Core payments have not been protected; not when people have to pay their property and water taxes out of their "core" payments. It's a sneaky clawback.
