    300 women held a peaceful protest outside Tallaght Garda Station tonight. What do you think of that Joan.

    So your happy that government is wasting money and running up massive debts and have no problem giving them even more to waste. Your obviously not a fan of accountability.

    If the Irish Government was a business it would have been already shut down.

    The implicit logic when you criticise a manager of anything, from a nation, down to anything as trivial as you wish to consider, is that there is a better way to proceed.

    So I am asking, with respect to the massive problems we have with our debt and deficit burden, what is the better way than an alternative government might proceed.

    You will note that there are no answers forthcoming.

    :confused:

    The government is here to serve the people, not the other way around. By definition, I fail to see how the electorate could "fail" them.

    No, no, no. Irish Water is about conserving water that's why we have meters being installed that won't be used until 2019 :)

    The answer is very simple. Government is not responsible for creating jobs, that should be left to the private sector. They have created so much red tape for SMEs when they should just get out of the way.

    The discussion was broadened in this post. You thanked the post so I assume you read it?

    Alas, the poster seems disinterested in standing over what they say.

    I must have a look once it's up on rte player. Seeing some great quotes from the interview on twitter:

    "There has to be non-violent peaceful civil disobedience... We can revolt without violence."

    Great to see the message going out on a prime slot on rte :D

    Yes, audacious piece of choreography by establishment/state tv tonight.

    Knew they'd be goading sinead, who they know is regarded as 'crazy' by a large percentage of the population, into an 'irish water' rant but didn't realise they'd go to the extent of putting her in 'charge'.

    You can expect a Sunday Independent headline along the lines of 'Is Sinead O'Connor going to be Taoiseach if the crazy Irish water protesters get their way'.

    The propaganda is getting desperate and obvious.

    Is the good observation.

    And by failing the government with their 'protests', and periodic revenge trouncing's at elections, they are only harming themselves. Never quite making the cause and effect link between their actions and their sorry states.

    IMO the male version of Sinead O'C that is leading the country is enough.

    Ha, Tubridy was squirming when she was asking him do RTE have an agenda. He was trying to change the topic. TBH I dont think Sinead will have much influence over anybody. One thing all sides of this argument can agree on is that she is a lunatic.

    AFAIK there was only one individual who likened protesters to ISIS and there's a fair bit of mileage being got out of that! :P

    Indeed things are desperate. But things certainly are improving, even if some are determined not to see this.

    Mind, I have to say the hysteria is kind of funny. I think we are having our own version of a Princes Di outbreak. :pac:

    Improving for whom
    All I have seen is 7 years of austerity with more on the horizon
    WTF has the current situation to do with some privileged dead woman?
