I can't understand how that isn't totally and utterly I llegal.

If my '03 and someone else's '98 and someone else's '15 all pass the NCT then they are all equally roadworthy - that's the point of the feckin' thing!

They should also be cheaper to insure since no-one is going to rob a 13-year-old hatchback.

I've an 04 7-seater. It's in great condition and is looked after by a family member who is a top mechanic. I'm loaded to the hilt because there's a possibility of two more people claiming off me. My oldest child has flown the nest but maybe still has to travel with us two or three times a year so I have to keep it.

Only a little snide - her "I haven't looked at PBP because I've been too busy" was lame, in fairness. She had time to learn enough about SF to be comfortable to align herself fully with them on national TV ?

My suspicion would be an SF family link.

Your suspicion would be a SF family link.

Ok. Maybe you should take a day off from the intense political analysis Jack.

I'm pretty sure she is in fact a he as they appeared to be wearing the uniform of the boys only secondary school in Castlebar St. Gerald's..could be wrong but don't think I am.

Anyway, good show and credit to Vincent and TV3. The thought of a show like this wouldn't even enter the minds of those in charge at RTE such is their disdain for a large proportion of the population, many of whom you see and hear speak on the people's debate. Mayo candidates let themselves down terribly with their positions on the repeal of the 8th and a possible referendum. I guess the FF candidates were appealing to their core voters but still disappointing to see such social conservatism in younger politicians. The Renua candidate I don't even think understood the concept of a referendum as opposed to his position on abortion. Dara Calleary simply thinks his position is the right one which is worse.

Not saying it's true; just my suspicion, as someone interested in politics and left-leaning would presumably look at all the options, especially given SF's baggage.

I could be wrong. Hence the word suspicion, for the reasons given.

Oh sweet Jesus, where did they find this audience?

As a Mayo man, can I just say there are some normal people down here, I swear!

I only caught the last hour, but yer man who mentioned the cat in the isle of man was it? was hilarious!

YOu can't buy that, although according to Vincent, he said on The Last Word after 5 today, that the RTE audience was polled by RedC & was paid €60 :eek:

Ruth looks like she was kitted out in Harry Corry remnants.:eek:

Don't think so. Josephs' top is blue whereas Geralds is navy.

I mean it was a bit of a novelty having Ruth,Ming,Wallace and Clare Daly coming in to the dail looking like they had all slept in a skip but come on the novelty has worn off. Bad enough that their policies (where they have them) are pure looney but the state of them!

I would say Ruth Coppinger is mighty craic

Enda being kept under the covers tonight, he's sending out Leo to keep the profile...

Leo just owned Coppinger. Nice to see.

Leo seems to have a permanent tan.

coolhull

Did Leo say that just because you haven't got a home, that doesn't mean you're homeless?

grey_so_what

Leo's mantra is "it's not good enough"....

It's actually not good enough.

He's playing the game empathising......

grey_so_what

What nursing homes?

The ones that cost a fortune or going down the very legal difficulty of the Fair Deal Scheme?

Leo is not suited to a ministry he is more interested in show business.

Mary-Lou makes a fair point - the consulting diagnosis has to change regarding out of hours diagnosis....

Though he's a good looking fella...

He is an absolutely useless Minister Busted....

Lots of feedback from Medics have led me to believe he's a career politician...

Sinn Fein offering homes for everybody. Well, Jurry has at least three. Sure it's a start......

Health needs a leader and, unfortunately, I can't see one in the near future....

grey_so_what

Are we not supposed to pay water charges under EU Law?

I have followed some of your posts and enjoyed some of your jokes, but posting such childish stuff you let yourself down. Hopefully you will have a successful recovery.

There is nothing in Leo's head except self-publicity.

You're supposed to pay water charges under Irish law........(as passed by the Oireachtas.)

I think he's very self-centered Busted.

I can't think of one thing he has done in his Sports/Health Ministries.....

He upped his profile during the last referendum , I believe his eyes are on the "big job" in FG.........he's all about him regardless of his sfa lousy performance on health...

I'd watch my back Enda........

Ruth's being quite naive here, of course they'd up sticks. The bottom line is all that matters in business.

I understand that Roger, but isn't there a mandate from the EU regarding water charges?....

I'm no fan of them btw.....

TCDStudent1

Coppinger is so naïve when it comes to multinationals. Of course they will leave if they are forced to pay more tax. Our education system is average and we have no advantage with language. The language argument might have meant something 15 years ago.But not now. Most young people in Europe are able to speak multiple languages fluently while in Ireland most people just speak English.

I'm liking Ivan Yates on the show, seems like a natural successor to Vinnie when he retires.

Aaaaaagghhhh ! I can't stand him. I never missed the Vincent Browne show, never. Now I switch off when I see Ivan Yates!

He thinks he's funny, he's not, he's arrogant . I don't like him at all on Newtalk he takes over every sound ite and makes it about him !

I'll really miss Vinny .....he's modest, self deprecating and naturally funny.
