    Indeed.

    Essentially, they don't care if they lose the seat either.
    They walk away with the POT OF GOLD - curtosy of d'Oirish Taxpayer ( ... and, and, and ... borrowed Muny ... to be paid by d'Oirish Taxpayer )

    Their is NO SANCTION for a Bad Job done ...

    Right. So you reckon Lowry and his like will lose his seat next time around?

    We'll see. :)

    You reckon Enda will lose his?

    Or better still, do you think it will still be his to lose?

    If we had let them away with it, underperforming IW staff would have been given a 9% bonus this year, for underperforming!

    I expect he will jump, or be pushed, before the next election.

    But if he is not? Lose his seat? Zero chance.

    Enda is gone. You can see it in the general rhetoric now. He is a dead man walking now.

    I see him lasting until Christmas but just about. Gone by the ides of March but most likely in February.

    Has Jack O'Connor backed down and is now supporting Right2Water, has he been forced. Anyone got a link to this.

    The way it is going at the moment - it is possible that there will have to be a General Election by February, March or April ... :)

    My punt is a general election after Easter, probably May.

    You might think I am mad but I am predicting a new govt of FG+FF2+Lab+INDs with FF2 being a split in the existing FF party with some of the older TDs refusing to go into power.

    It wont last a year.

    One proviso is that Gerry Adams remains leader of SF, if he steps down, my coalition changes

    RPPP will not go into power after the 2015 GE. We will grow our credibility in opposition. Possible landslide victory in 2016 GE.

    TBH if someone told me 3 years ago that Kenny would be more unpopular than Brian Cowan I would have laughed at them.

    It shows the simplemindedness of so much of the population. Unrealistic expectations of what a Taoiseach can do. Dont like paying your bill? Bitch about and harass him. Slaver at the prospect of getting him out of office in the even more simpleminded expectation that someone else being there will do anything different (other than the right thing of course, but the rabble doesnt understand what really must be done).

    I think you are stretching the imagination there Reddser.

    Ff+FG+Lab+Indos is not an option.

    An inclusive Consensus Gov is an option.

    With constitutional change,the priority.This would be in line with a Pre election consensus manifesto.

    Agreed upon prior to election.

    Jesus some of this stuff is cringe worthy. 200 people protesting out of a population of half a million people in cork. Hardly earth shattering.

    The same people who let the water infrastructure get to the point where it is now....

    Yea we definitely got the right people with the knowledge and expertise running Irish Water....

    Its the Irish people who let the water infrastruture get to the point where it is now by not pay enough for it. And they would do the same again if they didnt have a responsible government preventing them from repeating their mistake. The government understands the issue and need to properly fund it and ensure a secure future water service. The masses do not, and want to burying their heads in the sand again.

    There was "200" protestors there alright. Just like there were only "about 50,000" that marched in Dublin on Oct 11th lol.

    Another way of looking at that, out of a population of almost half a million, no one seemed to have turned up to show their support for Enda.

    Tick tock.

    Maybe they'll ask why those same 'leprachauns' pay a USC on top of PRSI, income tax and whatever else this lecherous government take from their salary.....

    SIPTU has now turned its back on Enda, The only friends he has left are a few nobodies on this forum and they are crying into their Joan Burton pillow cases, People power has well and truly won out and we're not backing down rain hail or snow, Another fantastic day to be Irish, Dec 10th will be an incredible day to be Irish.

    SAY NO TO WATER CHARGES
