Thank god they did, he is one annoying gob****e. He's one of my local TD's and none of them are any use at all.

God help us at the next election as well if the councillors present are indication of the up and coming candidate gene pool!

Fine Gael are buggered and they know it. It wouldn't surprise me if they recall Brian Hayes to run again.

Labour are also gone. Rabbitte is retiring and Maloney has left the party in a vain attempt to try and save his ass.

That's censorship for you, he was making comments to close to the bone of the corrupt. TV3 protects the corrupt in order to stay in business.

Naw TV3 have to pay their bills from advertising. Sean was censored by commerce (and good taste).

Bit ironic hearing the Yank giving out about foreigners being given jobs, she was given a very cushy one herself in the Seanad!

To be fair to her she was renting privately and when the property was sold she couldn't find a alternative property accepting Rent Allowance. It is a very common story and the main reason people who have never been homeless before are now facing that prospect and not only people on rent allowance.

What worries me more is the inefficient use of Hostels and Hotels as short term fixes. €700 per room per week mounts up fairly quickly. Thats €2800 per month well above the going rate to rent a private house in all areas with the exception of Foxrock or Killiney.

Rent rises need to be regulated and their needs to be a co-ordinated program of social housing countrywide. The government are talking about it but there is very little action actually occurring.

Was she quoted several thousand for the place she's in at the moment .
I honestly don't think the government wants to build the social houses that's needed ,

One thing that gets me people saying the government bailed out the banks but haven't bailed out us ,when a person has been on benefits and rent supplement in a lot of case 10+years claiming the government hasn't done anything for them ,but don't see where there rent payments came from and weekly and monthly benifits for a decade that's a lot of money been spend for little or no return .

We might see 30,000 houses but how many will actually be for social housing as it stands most developments are mixed

Exclusive.............one night soon we are going to have a programme dedicated to Enda Kenny's fitness for office.

Sorry, what I meant to say was ........... one night soon we are going to have a programme which is not dedicated to Enda Kenny's fitness for office.

Galwayguy35

Interesting to hear them all shouting they were going to vote the Government out but not one of them mentioned who they would replace FG/Lab with.

Doubt many of them give much thought to the kind of Ireland their hero comrade Murphy would have them living under, the benefits would be a lot less for a start.

Roger_007

Most people I know want a cut in income tax and/or USC............period!

RobertKK

Most of the country don't want Sinn Fein anywhere near government.

I'd rather SF than FF/FG. We need a good clear out of the old guard.

And VB is a fool. Can't understand simple math. You earn more = you benefit more from tax cuts. AND you earn more = you lose more with tax hikes.

Total left wing idiot. Like RBB

Yep and your man was actually answering this but he kept harping on answer the question answer the question.

5 against 1 tonight and Vincent at the forefront asking people to answer questions then shouting over them.

He's gone very poor.

Nobody benefits from that sh1te. Whether I agree with the interviewee or not they should be given a chance to say what they have to say. Then it can be debated. This nonsense of constantly talking over someone, not letting them get two words out, is ignorant and rude.

Par for the course for Browne.

I see the Enda-bashing has started early tonight.
(Apparently Enda had the 'gall' to suggest that the residents should have been consulted before the council decided to relocate the Travellers on their road.)

The same tonight or worse It was 5 + VB v. 1.

He's totally lost any sense of balance. Like an anti-Govt propaganda show!

(Last night we had the Pearse D fatuous diatribe)

The West Cork boys rattled him.

Browne has been like that ever since the late radio show on Rte.

Usual m.o. was to get in some 'Govt.' nonentity and take him/ her to pieces in company of some other people who got an easy ride, whilst the host got in personal digs along the way.

Lost any credibility with this poster.

Indeed, who wouldn't welcome horses, big dogs,rubbish, rats, scrap cars, washing machines,plastic bags to their neighbourhood.

Has me beat, so it has.

Ruth Coppinger is an embarrassment..this is the reason why you can't take left wing parties seriously

alan partridge aha

Vincent shi5ing on about how his front garden would be big enough to take a traveller family, he would not have them but it sounds good. The vast majority of non travellers would not want them nearby irrespective of what Coppinger and Vinnie think.

RobertKK

They haven't gone away you know.

Ahern given a canvas to have a pop at Sinn Féin tonight. The neck on him. He has absolutely zero credibility to give any opinions on any other political party.

He is well qualified being one of the chief people involved in the peace process.

There seems to be a view that so long as the (ex)IRA bhouys stick to 'ordinary' crime, that they won't be bothered too much by the authorities.

This sort of tolerance could only happen in Ireland!

Thomas Byrne is like an ashtray on a motorbike, silly little clown.

The group panel thing seems to have been dropped. Savings made on appearance fees.

Thomas Byrne forgot to mention that he is an estate agent?

Muahahaha

Coppinger speaks for all of the left? Who in turn only express her opinions and everyone is the same? That's a pretty big brush you've got there, you'll need a lot of tar to go with it !

Roger_007

This is supposed to be the 'people's debate'. The opinions being expressed do not represent the opinions of most of the people I know. The audiences seem to be heavily biased towards left wing views.

Maybe I mix with the wrong company?
