Force all these different ideologies to step up to the mark. Could be a disaster but we are already in a disaster. Clutching at straws seems like a good alternative to me!

    True and that is exactly why Enda Kenny said NO to Mick Wallace in the Dail yesterday when Mick asked him to dissolve the Dail and call for a general election after Mick said that they had lost the trust of the people and had no mandate.

    To be honest if I was in Enda's position I would have told that prick to **** off myself.

    Nothing biased about pointing out that the man is as thick as 2 planks.

    Unless a new liberal non-religious party starts up then no there isn't from my perspective.

    At the moment he looks like a ****ing genius compared to what's sitting across the Dail from him.. IMHO.

    The genius who set up a quango, with a bonus culture and failed Fg buddies at the top on massive wages and cannot understand why theres resistance to it. Mensa material indeed!

    Look, will someone keep an eye on my bicycle during the demos in town next month. I don't want 1 of the any gougers attending the protest to rob or vandalise it.
    There has to be an honest protestor or 2 out there who will help a hard working person such as myself.

    To be fair Mick Wallace has also left the taxpayer out of pocket. For someone who does so much political posturing I cannot take him seriously. I find it hard to believe he is not in the Dail for his own selfish reasons.

    In any event whoever governs will be kept in check by the 'Outer House' ie - us lot on Facebook. A new force in politics - no more flankers will be pulled in the twilight zone of mid term.

    He brought down Shatter though.

    I'm guessing Shatter was educated to a higher level than Mick.

    Mick Wallace is the flip side of the same coin. Just because he wears different clothes and has the hair do of a clown doesn't mitigate from the fact he has avoided paying substantial taxes to the exchequer and imho should no longer be allowed to sit in Dail Eireann.

    Micks no hero of mine, but I'd consider him less snake-like than Shatter, a truly obnoxious and spiteful individual.

    Honestly wouldn't mind seen some of this in Action ,
    I would love to see the party whip system done away with and allow free voting ,
    also forget the idea that Government bills always have to pass for them to stay in power. Could lead to some worthwhile and refreshing approaches and ideas .
    Could be a totally disaster but how will be ever know if we don't try.


    Ps can I see it happening ,NO ,but it's nice to dream.

    He has a teaching degree so he is hardly that.
    He also has more balls than Enda Kenny who won't go on Vincent Brown, The Late Late Show or Primetime for interviews because he knows that he is a con man and would be taken apart and exposed for the liar that he is.

    What does that say about Ireland and our tolerance for these matters? Yes he should have been thrown out of Dail Eireann. People like him are part of the problem and not the solution. That goes for all sides of the political spectrum. No accountability whatsoever.

    Mick Wallace is an independant with no party funding or political operatives to forward his agenda, he has to appear on shows like Vincent Browne to get himself heard.

    I doubt hes doing it because hes braver than Enda Kenny

    LOL this gets better. Apparently Irish Water only stated to look for a Data Protection Manager from the 30th of October (the date of the linked article). No wonder they are in a shambles (although I thought the award of the contract to Bord Gais was to ensure all the "teethin" problems associated with "Green Field" operation would going to be bypassed?).
    Irish Water has finally started a hunt for a data protection manager, months after it started the process of demanding and recording customers’ PPS numbers.

    http://www.irishexaminer.com/ireland/search-for-irish-water-data-boss-begins-295584.html

    Surely given the nature of the information they were seeking this would have been one of the first management positions that they would have filled??

    It also asks the question, what exactly did they spend all that consulting money on if this basic position wasn't filled at the very start?

    Did the money actually go to consultants or to the Buddies at the helm?
    Creative accountancy wouldnt be unheard of.

    Ok leave out Mick Wallace for a moment '
    It still a good question.
    why have we not seen Enda Kenny on Vincent Brown, The Late Late Show or Primetime.

    Surely as a nation we deserve to see and hear a frank and honest interview from the leader of the country at this time and not just rehearsed little snippets here and there

    Wallace ****ed us over and has already shown us what a dishonest little **** he is., he's only in it for the money.
    irishexaminer.com/viewpoints/ourview/wallace-scandal--intolerable-position-196891.html


    Mr Wallace admitted that he filed a dishonest tax return, but it would seem that he cannot be prosecuted, because he has reached a settlement with the Revenue Commissions to have his company pay €2.1m, even though he knows the company is unlikely to be able to pay that money. He cannot be put into bankruptcy over this matter because he was representing a limited company.

    Our system is clearly broken. People are being invited to conclude that a member of the Oireachtas has a licence to evade tax. This is an intolerable position in any self-respecting Republic

    Probably mostly friends of friends, a few team building exercises and a little bit
    probably went to carrying out a report that they've had sitting in a drawer for years.

    The state has defrauded the Irish people out of €60 odd billion in order to keep their banking buddies here and in the ECB happy.
    I know which one I see as the bigger crime.

    Many years ago one Sinead O'Connor, probably more in relation to the church and rather rapeily said something to the effect of 'This country needs dragging down an alley way and ****ed"
    I concur.
