    A lot of us who were interested in doing a bit of work did allright but of course (and thankfully) the welfare scum were left behind

    When I see someone describe fellow human beings as 'scum' I give their BS the respect it deserves. ...none.

    "The right?" Fine Gael–led governments introduced same-sex marriage, repealed the 8th amendment, took blasphemy out of the constitution, and loosened the criteria for those who are applying for a divorce — all while bringing the economy back to full employment, increasing the minimum wage, and increasing social welfare spending. How right-wing is that?

    "

    The electorate introduced marriage equality, repealed the 8th, removed blasphemy, and loosened the criteria for those applying for divorce.

    Because each one of those was decided by a referendum.
    And those referendum were proposed by the Citizen's Assembly.

    Do we get to have everything the citizens assembly purpose then?

    This is total rubbish. You don't know the definition of corruption.

    How is that list of large public projects "corruption"?

    You do realise these things require a lot of planning and consultation, right? You can't just "do" them.

    Is not FG left wing? There is no right wing in Ireland.

    If those were purely FG's idea why did they need a Citizen's Assembly to recommend them?
    Why not just go ahead and hold referendums?
