    That's who I was referring to, a horrible person.

    That doesn’t need to be the case and these were others are contributing a fortune to government coffers and they need to be housed somewhere. You can build high rise for all incomes like most countries do. Probably best not for social housing though in my opinion

    Name a country with high rises in the centre of the capital city that has all incomes in it.

    SF with this much support are dangerous with regards border poll. I don't want us been dragged down by Northern Ireland.

    How so? The UK Secretary of State to NI decides if/when a border poll should happen, not SF.

    I can't see where Sinn Fein think all this money will come from, they do realise our economy is built on sand. We have one of the most unsustainable economies in the world. Their approach should be fun to watch.

    Is the Northern Bank still around or is that still invested in the provos pension pot since the GFA?

    SF can't call a border poll. No Irish government has control over the calling of a border poll

    FFG found billions of taxpayer money for a children's hospital that keeps increasing in cost, is in the worst location and a national broadband plan which luckily DOB is involved in, I'm sure SF can't be any worse than that.

    Not governments fault. That's down to ABP which is independent. Another thing that people throw at political parties which they can do shag all about.

    Wrong. This particular issue is to do with legislation and dcc who have done nothing but hold this City back , cost billions in investment and we can throw them top of the heap for responsibility for this housing crisis ! Abp are approving way higher residential buildings , beside Ronan’s sales force development , for to eoghan murphys guidelines. So higher is his fine of residential , not commercial. Lol! Irish planning

    Unless you think the poster means the one building? I don't think that's the point they were making though.

    I wasn’t saying all incomes in the one building, although that may exist but the Austrian model which is great , opens this state owned accommodation to all , no segregation...

    When will we all have to pledge allegiance to the army council ?

    Let’s say a small prayer that Mary Lou stays on the sidelines again with the excuse that FFG wouldn’t negotiate with terrorists.

    Hopefully this result will put the frighteners on FFG to actually do their jobs properly

    You can be prudent and invest in the future. You can be prudent and not leave everything to the market to solve. FG didn't strike a balance

    They got a good few things wrong but this country is miles from the abyss we face. The Irish electorate is all over the place in what they want. It's no wonder our politicians have no plan. Put half a plan in place and paddy fcuks you out on your ear before it can grow legs.
    I nearly hope SF get in to government as it's no more than we deserve.

    I think she could be in trouble there. She has a lead for the final seat of 146 and 6000 SF votes to transfer. I think Devlin may overtake her. She sounded very worried on RTÉ .

    Of course he and FG will.

    Michael Martin has led his party into an impossible situation. SF know it and FG know it too.

    Those two will sit and let him squirm for a while and take the flak from his party internally. And you can be positive sure that is happening.

    Feel it’s a bad day for Ireland but to be fair, the people have spoken. It would be a bad move for FF/FG to go in together now. The people want SF.

    Might as well let them in. They won’t achieve even a quarter of the things they’re promising.

    Protest votes rarely end well.

    Emer Currie who is the running mate for Leo isn't going to get a 1/4 quota and I think that means her expenses won't be re-imbursed.

    Have you ever been outside of Ireland? Because no matter what your reply is to this question, you either haven't, are being completely disingenuous for the craic, or simply lying.

    You think Grenfell is the only high-rise out of all European capitals or something?

    Sometimes you just have to admit to yourself when you're wrong instead of going full idiotic

    No. An FF/FG coalition is what both those parties are effectively saying.

    If they deliver a quarter of those things that would already be a massive improvement on FF and FG

    Coveney holds all the cards now. He should be the new leader within a month. Should have been the choice on day one.

    That’s the arrogance that has the shinners at the top of the vote. It's all the electorates fault nothing to do with the actions or lack of, of ffg.
