FF/FG/Green Government - Part 3 - Threadbanned User List in OP

Damien English situation like the Robert Troy situation is disgraceful, just goes to show you can't trust any of them. They're all corrupt liars. How could you trust any politician in Fianna Fail or Fine Gael when all they do is lie to suit themselves. An ordinary person would be fined or jailed. They still get to keep their job as TD and their big over 100000 a year pay packet. Sure all the TDs could be liars. What happens if a TD who isn't a minister is found out to have lied? No punishment at all? You can't trust politicians. They all lie and get away with it. It's disgraceful and people should be angrier about this. I wonder how many people couldn't get planning permission because they told the truth then you have this politician lie and get it.

When is the Dail back? The first few sessions could be tasty.

More and more coming out on English on the Ditch. Selling to vulture funds whilst in charge of mortgage arrears policy & then not declaring as he spoke in the Dail.

Can he be forced out or just the whip taking off him?

And the Main newspapers of the day Are a disgrace but I suppose they are in the politicians pockets.

Earning 140k a year and in mortgage arrears.

He should be fired for that alone.

No.

You're missing the point of what I said and honing in on one thing I said that I obviously can't prove.

I don't care about politics as much as most people on this thread. I generally find politics and politicians extremely boring.

To me he's just another crooked politician who got caught and won't face any punishment and still have his big pay packet and pension when that comes along. Nothing more will be said of it and everyone will carry on like nothing happened. It's a bit like Michael Lowry sure he's still a TD and we all know about the dodgy dealings he had and got away with. It's public knowledge.

Politicians should be subject to the same laws as everyone else. If no joe soap is losing their job for this kind of offence then why should a politician?

Sure the standards in public office crowd should be able to apply a sanction for something like this.

Ultimately the electorate will decide and ghe electorate has consistently elected people like lowry unfortunatley.

Oh look the government missed their target significantly - what a surprise. When they are announcing targets, they are all over the media. When they fail, they are nowhere to be seen. And they always fail. Even when they cook the books.

Government on course to 'significantly miss' waiting list reduction targets - IHCA (breakingnews.ie)

The Irish Hospital Consultants Association (IHCA) has expressed "dismay that the Government is on course to miss waiting list reduction targets for 2022 by a significant margin".

Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly launched the €350 million Waiting List Action Plan for 2022 in February, which committed to reducing active waiting lists for acute scheduled care by 18 per cent (more than 132,00) by the end of this year.

However, figures show that by the end of November the numbers of those waiting for treatment will have only dropped by 1.6 per cent (fewer than 11,500).

Over 812K on hospital waiting lists, down around 4% (rte.ie)

Over 812,000 on hospital waiting lists, down around 4%

It was significantly lower than the waiting list reduction target for the year.

Last year, the Government allocated €350m under the Waiting List Plan to reduce active waiting lists for acute scheduled care by more than 132,000 patients or 18%.

There were also 58,000 patients 'suspended' from waiting lists in December for various reasons, including not being well enough to have their treatment.

-------------------------------------

Probably the nurses fault.

812,000 patients on national public hospital waiting lists at the end of December.

I am talking about the relevant FFG ministers. When announcing the plan they are all bravado on the airwaves. When the plan fails, they are nowhere to be seen.

Its about accountability.

Plan = 18%

Actual = 4% (with numbers manipulated in December)

That's an epic fail in 11 months.

There isn't a single cabinet minister in Connacht. Remember that in the next election.
