Tonight With Vincent Browne Thread v 4.0 (08/07/14 to date)

StephenHendry

electoral boundary changes , especially in north tipp will affect lowry, a lot of this area is now in the offaly constituency, he will lose a lot of potential voters, I think Kelly will lose out,

Well you could predict that Ireland will win euro2016 as well but that won't happen either!

I don't know what part of Tipp you're from but I've relations in Nenagh and they are all Kelly men, were I should say. Word is he has no chance of getting the local vote. Why would the area of Tipp he's not from vote for him then?

I don't make silly predictions, saying Kelly will be in the top two after the first count is about as silly as suggesting Eire will win Euro2016 imo. The Labour party have never got close to topping a poll in Tipperary why would the most unpopular LP version in history buck that trend, or even get close?

Lowry
Hayes
Smith
Healy
Last seat is between Mattie, Coonan, Kelly, Cahill & Morris bringing up the rear. I'd call it for Mattie or Cahill [FF] at this juncture

Not all of Tipperary. He was able to get enough votes from his own corner of the county, ie Thurles and Holycross. As one woman said last night it'll be different now that the whole county is one constituency.

That woman was talking pure bull****.Lowry will clean up in the whole of Tipp come election time.he has been working as much in south Tipp as north Tipp for yrs.he will come close to 20,000 votes when the count is done.

Tipp has always been good for labour. If you, or your relations in Nenagh, think Seamie Morris will finish ahead of him then ye are in dreamland.

I think "Morris bringing up the rear" might assuage that canard you introduced there.

I'll hold u to Kelly coming in top two however.

I’ve such a low expectation of politics in this country.
It’s one thing after another and nothing ever changes.

It seems pointless listening or reading about it

That is the problem with this country you have people who will not vote and demand change. Wake up it is your vote that makes the change, get off your arse.

Good loser

That show from Clonmel was dreadful rubbish. The two TDs were about hopeless - Healy definitely a few notches below Mattie. Both behaved like dyed-in-the-wool FF deputies. Localism ran riot.

Imagine us - in the rest of the country - having to listen to locals calling for more services locally;the vast bulk of the contributions were about having 24/7 mental health services within the county. Yet later they were saying the county should have two Local Authorities as it stretched for 120 miles north to south. Surely north Tipp would be nearer KIlkenny and south Tipp nearer Waterford. Of course this never occurred to Browne.

FF and FG and Labour are well away from these travesties.

Didn't see the show but it would appear that at least two people, yourself and myself , have seen through the cant and rhetoric of these 'Independents' who want to create fiefdoms of their own and fork the rest of the country.

Like cockerels crowing on distant dung hills no better than local councilors and we want these gombeens to run the country:eek:

Gimme a break.

There was a full FF representation present, all three of their candidates. They have no sitting TD in Tipperary.

The current narrative is of a current rural crime epidemic, the crimes against Nally happened years ago.

It was interesting hearing Michael Clifford, who's someone I wouldn't put in the urban gang, saying on Claire Byrne Live that the crime rate in urban areas is higher than that in rural areas.

Mick Clifford might be interested in Keelan Shanley's report on SoR this morning about rural crime he might change his opinion.

I think this new seating arrangement is a failure. There are people sitting in the back who have very little interest in the goings-on.
And indeed who can blame them?

Agree completely

BaZmO*

It's true though, a lot of the questions asked are so long winded and unclear that they give him a reason not to answer the question. In fairness to Pearse Doherty he always seems to get to the point when asking a question and constantly follows up by asking the same concise question.

FINE Gael TD Michelle Mulherin has maintained that all 130 phone calls she made from her Leinster House phone to Kenya were "work-related" after it emerged she has made a second payment to the Oireachtas.

Says a lot about Browne, who in their right mind would go in against a tag team AND referee.

At least the Govt. people have a bit of sense, you are off the ball there Baggy, tried to hang another blow on the Govt. and failed -again!!

Do you do this for a living:D

I think the ICSA and ICMSA will have increased membership.

btw for the first time I totally agreed with Paul Murphy's contribution on the matter.

Continuity IFA = Tim O'Leary, a car crash every time he appears on TV or radio.
The Real IFA = Derek Deane, the man who was there to appoint Pat Smith.
The reality = IFA need totally new blood, and everyone on the IFA executive to resign.
That said, lots of farmers are abandoning the IFA.

There was I thinking Lucinda was pro-Isis. Jaysus.

I can't believe that farmers didn't really know the dept of this RKK??...

As they say, surely (don't call me Shirley ), there must have been rumours of the pay doing the rounds?

It can hardly be that shocking news?

No they didn't, look at my thread over on the farming section of boards.
The farming Independent had a piece early in the year but no figure, then a few weeks ago, Agriland ran a story saying €400k a year, with Derek Deane forcing the issue.
There is just disbelief, I had lost trust in the IFA after they argued for and got Simon Coveney to agree to keep the CAP payments similar to before when they were up for negotiation. The IFA argued those on high payments needed them, which was feck the rest, the previous IFA president was on €60k single farm payment which is many many times the average payment, so he was arguing to protect himself.
I didn't vote in the last presidential election as I was unhappy over that, and voter turnout was down around 50% on the previous election.

There is a lot of anger and disbelief, and farmers are questioning what else have the people at the top done to benefit themselves. Representing themselves rather than the majority of farmers.
Plus the farmers journal has been a joke too in all of this, one is the hand the other is the glove.

Are they not just "political" farmers though RKK??....I always had the impression they were??

More politics I would have always thought?...

It wouldn't be a shock to me that they would have been well paid imo...There isn't a Board in this Country that isn't?
