Fair play to them made their point and made the news.

Spot the guy who has never treated himself to a meal in a moderately fancy restaurant

fella, dont even start, i used to earn €4000 per month after tax from just one of my clients pre-recession, I know how to treat myself, my point is that this is not as "open to the public" as you were trying to make out, at €126 a plate you're going for a particular demographic that are usually knobends, i'm surprised you weren't there seeing as it was such good value

Given the imagery they use it's probably a good thing it wasn't pro lifer's who were protesting.

Two shrill ladies interruping a dinner? Pro choicers need to up their game. Going past the GPO earlier there were a couple of absolutely smoking hot phillys giving out Pro Life leaflets.

If I was a politician I'd be as lavish and corrupt as I could.

and this is why we are where we are today, of course you'd be right in thinking you'd get away with it, politicially anyway, up to now the majority of the public would let ya away with it too, but some of us are eagerly awaiting a reawakening of the Irish spirit and some form of a peaceful revolution so we may bring about some real change

You could always set up camp in front of the central bank?

Good to see that the muppet can smile about and refuse to tackle the issue while shit like this is happening

At least that hysterical black woman from the street protest a few months back didn't show up.

Her big mouth would have shattered every glace in the place.

120 euros for a gala night is far from lavish.

I didn't make any suggestion that it was open to the public so i don't know where you are getting that from.

Also, you sound like someone who was a big swinging dick back in the boom time who got brought right back down to Earth once people realized they could easily do without whatever frivolous service/product it is that you were providing once money actually became an issue again and now you are bitter about it

And you both realise of course that the dinner was a fundraiser funded by tickets sold to the public, and wasn't stolen from your children's pocket while they were in the lunch line?

Tickets sold to FG members. It being a fundraiser for the party and all.

The way some people are going on about it you'd swear it was a Children in Need function

It was a fundraiser where a bunch of god fearing fcukwits gave money to people who support and protect their backwards ideals

I bet he gave them an aul sniff.

You really need to choose your battles better. Kicking up stink over the Taoiseach having a meal costing 120 quid is just silly.

no, i had plenty to look after my bills and my child, didn't have to worry but i pretty much kept my head down and was always working hard or had my daughter every second weekend, the recession has been a seriously tough adjustment, and still recovering, it's hard just barely getting by, even harder watchign politicians living the high life while the people they "represent" are kept suffering unnecessarily imho

Enda has a pair of those knickers dangling from each ear right now. He's on mushrooms and he thinks he's at a rave on one of Venus' moons.

Venus has no moon.

He's not sure why those chicas were telling him to repeatedly ate.

I'm pretty sure I saw the two of them and a friend performing in MacBeth.

€126? You'd have to be some kind of crazy millionaire to afford that.

Its also 67% of some peoples entire income in this country.
On one meal.
Austerity for some, fancy do's for others.

Don't see why people with decent jobs should have to justify their living standards and the cost of those expenses with those on social welfare.

Haha. When something goes wrong it's all their fault. When things are going well "ah sure they're just doing what they're told". I love after hours

So they gatecrashed the place, started rhyming off something together like 6 years olds and gave him knickers, I'm sure that achieved a lot for their cause.

The dresses they were wearing looked like they were from the 1930s

I'm not saying anyone "who has a decent job" should have to justify how they spend their money. If you can afford €126 for one meal for one person, fair play.

But if the people who are earning such a good wage(and it must be a seriously good wage to be able to afford that amount without it causing serious recalculations to the household budget. Actually, second thoughts. If you can spend that without damage, I guess there isn't a household budget needed.)feel that its perfectly fine, like micky and a couple of other posters, to ridicule and sneer at people who CANT afford it, you can see why people are getting very cross in this country atm.
I gave the example of SW, but tbh these are not the people who are most annoyed at the state of play in this country and Enda and his ilk(and people who sneer).
I can say, hand on heart that the VAST majority of the working people I know, would have an aneurysm at the thought of a €126 for a dinner(for one person).
That's their entire shopping for a family for a week!!!!

Certain posters(not directing this at you)in certain threads seem to think that the only disgruntled people atm are welfare recipients. While I don't doubt they are(I know a couple of people out of work and they are losing their minds, turns out SW doesn't really accommodate Ps4, Sky packages, 3 foreign holidays a year. Who knew eh? )they are not the only ones.

Its the average worker, on an average wage, who is clutching to things by their fingernails at this stage. I'm talking about the checkout woman in the supermarket whose husband drives a van for a living. The woman who works doing home help whose partner works in the local shop.
They simply cannot take anymore as there isn't a penny more to give.
And now the worry about water bills and upcoming budgets.
You bet they are pis5ed off.

And therein lies the crux.
Its certain types of people who cant understand what the big deal is with paying €126 for a dinner as it wouldn't cost them a thought, but then look down their nose at those who are genuinely struggling, that need a touch of empathy and understanding and a bit of decency instilled into them.
If that can't be done, then they need to have a serious talk with themselves.

Sure you would spend twice that just on a ticket to go to a big music festival, it's a one off thing it's not something people do every night of the week if anyone is working and able to save even 20 quid a week they'd almost be able to afford that once a month.

That's the point.
The people who are struggling cant afford to go to concerts/nights out.
Are people not getting that?

There are always people who can't afford things even at the best of times we had 4% of people on the dole and people who where struggling because of the lifestyle they were trying to maintain.

For everyone else to not do things just because someone else can't afford to is ridiculous not to mention it would be seriously damaging to the economy.
