Facts and people before profit - oxymoron.

Google and Apple employ real people in Ireland.

The far left in Kilkenny are as deluded as you would find anywhere else in the country.

Kathleen Funchion of SF wants to represent Carlow/Kilkenny and she lives in Waterford.

I know him to see him, when I'm in the city. You would also know his house to pass it. The biggest Elvis fan in Kilkenny, if not the country.

I thought some Tesco branches were taking over some post office functions recently?

Yes, the Post Office is being run down. What she said is incorrect...

I'm glad I sat through a seven minute ad break to hear Vincent announce the titles of four newspapers, then over in 48 seconds. Well worth waiting for......

The plot has been lost a long time ago, someone in TV3 should check his sell by date. Hopefully he won't be there when the GE comes up.

Claire Byrne show started this whole look at mah legs thing. Set was clearly designed to show off the presenter's assets. Now we are seeing more of the VinB guests too. Can't complain. Some of them are very attractive.

Yeah, I suppose Vincent's legs were ok, but I wasn't really impressed by Frank Flannery's legs, and ML O'D's pins did nothing for me :P

I'd rather watch these programmes for the content, not presenters' or guests' legs or looks.

In the absence of content, sexy legs are a good second best.

Good loser

The Late Debate on Radio 1 is usually much better than this show.

Panels are balanced and the presenters don't push personal agendas ad nauseam. VB can't seem to resist a tiresome, rambling, semi coherent lecture on the word 'taxpayer' whenever a guest etc etc.

I think he has a point when it comes to the word 'taxpayer' - look at Carers for example, they receive Carer's benefit or allowance from the State but they save the country almost €3 billion a year. These people more than pay their way but strictly speaking aren't 'taxpayers', so do they not count? Should they be dismissed because they don't pay income tax?

I would argue that we all pay taxes, indirect taxes are high in this country, so anyone who purchases goods or services is paying tax.

Why do FG keep putting this fellow on to debate with Vincent? These are not questions for a first time TD.

He's also blind ( I think ) and can't see the sneers.

He maybe a Loyalits, but he is exposing the corruption in NAMA and the crooked operations of our politicians.

Thanks, I thought he was a TD. Either way, the minister for finance or some other senior figure should be on re-assuring us that there is nothing rotten in NAMA

That 90 yr old woman refused to take it down until she got the summons. Someone on Joe Duffy offered to pay the "fine" and she was heading to "the mountains" for dinner.

The point you make is quite valid. In fact I have read somewhere that every income group pays roughly the same percentage tax - around 27%.

In which case referring to the 'taxpayer' is identical to referring to the 'citizen', making his distinction redundant. Plus condescending and tiresome.

Apart from the voluntary/inescapable taxes income tax is distinct in being adjusted up/down/sideways every year and when times are good and there is 'spare' money, people expect relief and vice versa. People see a direct link between this tax and Govt spending - hence the common parlance and the widespread usage.

Something very rotten in the state of Nama.

Wrong as usual Mick. MW might be quite happy if that was the case. In fact it's the Americans what are doing it.

Bernard Mc namara is now back in the construction business, being bankrolled by Denis o Brien.

One of Mc namaras developments is referred to on the front of all the national papers as Priory hall 2. Its going to cost 4 million for the residents to put right.

All the years of he's "bankruptcy" Mc namara kept he's home on Shrewsbury Road!

I lost all respect for the government when they took medical cards off sick children (and adults), cut SNAs and resource teaching hours and reduced the Respite Care Grant by over €300.

I'm sure you would agree to a significant tax increase to restore those services?

Would others?

In hard times the depleted resources are spread thinly, everybody thinks theirs is the most important however deserving the situation.

That's what happens in Govt. those unpopular decisions HAVE to be addressed .

Then the know alls and bleeding g hearts in opposition try to up their profile by grandstanding on the issue instead of offering alternatives.

That loyalist blogger has had his date with destiny in the Dail rescinded.
Perhaps something is definitely NOT right in the state of NAMA.

Jaysus that "Live Debate" is crap.

A government party candidate who canvassed my home recently made a similar point. The spin doctors are obviously working overtime :rolleyes:

The farmers...were they brainwashed in to thinking that no milk quotas would mean a stable price for their milk? The government got some of them to borrow big when in the history of the world there has never ever ever been a case of higher supply keeping stable prices.

A cross between Irish and Afghan. The people of Cork had a problem with settlement because of the floods. When you think about it who would build a town in a swamp. :cool:

It shouldn't take longer than a year to decide if someone is genuine or not.

We got a lower milk price in 2009 than this year. Teagasc, the government, IFA and some others promoted dairying when the cost of getting into dairying is very high, then you had some start big rather than start small and build up. They gave unrealistic higher milk prices rather than looking at the worst case scenario.

2009 price around 21 cents a litre.
2014 around 37 cents a litre at peak IIRC.
Currently around 26 cents a litre.
