    It really depends on the seats. A C&S is far more likely but I reckon FG would like to FF to pull in some other mudguards. A FF/SF deal they will have nothing to do with.

    A FF lead government with SF getting health and housing would be ideal for FG. With a global recession on the way SF would hopefully get wiped out in the next election as people realise they are full of ****.

    People; "Sinn Fein are not the IRA."

    **SF wins lots of seats**

    SF starts to sing "Come out ye Black and Tans, come out and fight me like a man
    Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
    Tell them how the IRA made you run like hell away"... :pac:


    That's a song about the black and tans and the old IRA, the official IRA, the one Michael Collins etc belonged to.

    Keep up.

    Would be better if it was scrapped altogether. It's past its sell by date.

    It would be better if they could change the fact that we are locked into contracts paying RTE 'stars' ridiculous wages. Throw out the contracts and renew them. Unconstitutional? Change the constitution.

    Change the Constitution to allow employment contracts to be set aside?

    You sure?

    Guess what? PRD, pension related deduction, ASC, additional superannuation contribution, are not taxes. In the private sector I have to pay into my pension also!

    So I pay into a pension. I also pay over 400 euro extra a month into ASC/PRD. If I remember correctly, PRD was only supposed to be temporary too. I also have no option but to pay into it. The private sector love complaining about USC.

    I agree. Housing is a huge issue for younger people and just dismissing the vote change instead of looking at what FF FG have done on this issue is a problem.

    You can't just dismiss people oh they don't remember the troubles maybe they don't care as they are paying such high rent.

    I don't know why anyone pays heed to that eejit at all anymore.

    In 2001, Labour won 37 seats. Where are they now? I think it is now time for SF to step up to the plate and go into government. If they do well, brilliant.

    It's 400 extra a month that the private sector employees don't pay. I pay into a pension seperately apart from that.

    No, expecting anything other than the state pension when paying PRSI and PAYE only is what bankrupted the country 10+ years ago

    Exactly those that voted SF did excellently and we're proud to stick it to FFG.

    I pay 5% of my salary into my pension, if I didnt I'd be left with the state pension and not a penny more.

    That was 2011.
    But your point is still valid.
