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

So yet again the entire budget has been leaked. Leo the Leak abandoned cabinet confidentiality a long time ago.

The constant leaks and kite flying is vulgar. They should be able to enforce cabinet confidentiality.

So no responses to the emissions post? Another run away 😉

You have heard of RPZs? Many if not most small landlords aren't getting a market rate and it's well documented for a long time now that many are exiting the market especially with the prospect of an SF government..

Aragh yeah. Prove it with legitimate stats. It's just spin by the FFG landlords. Is Troy giving up his 10+ properties? It was FG that brought in the vulture funds.

CSO figures.

• The total number of occupied rental properties in the 2022 census was 513,704 up from 469,671 in 2016. This includes properties rented from a private landlord (330,632), local authority (153,192) or voluntary/co-operative housing body (29,880).

I doubt people would lie on the census.

On the other hand it is likely that landlords are not registering their tenancies. These omissions are not being properly enforced. Think Troy. Think Donnelly. RTB figures are much more likely to be incorrect. TDs can't remember to do it but at least we have reform coming for that.....oh wait

Great argument. What did they lie about?

I named 2 government TDs that lied about their tenancies to the RTB. Actually they were ministers.

There was also Billy Kellegher (FF) and John Paul Phelan (FG).

If TDs aren't doing it, what message does that send to landlords.

au contraire, FG have always been very down on three-in-a-bed romps

Micheal Martin and Dame Louis are back with a new report creating more noise so FFG can justify denying the public a referendum. (They even casually abuse voters by explaining a reconsideration of our neutrality is necessary "as the demographics of the country change"!) Brave leaders like Micheal and Leo will tell us it's time for Ireland to confidently take its place on the international stage - especially seeing as the US Defence industry has so so so so much lovely money that needs to find a home before the election, LOL!

This "project" is the Fine Gael legacy since 2011. All the FG health ministers since 2011 should be brought in and questioned about the overspend and delays. Especially Reilly who should be investigated for this role here. Multiple times above budget and 7 years late.

Further delay on completion date for National Children’s Hospital – The Irish Times

The timeline for completing the delayed National Children’s Hospital has slipped again, with completion of the project now not expected until October next year.

The National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (NPHDB), which is responsible for stewarding delivery of the project, will tell a Dáil committee on Thursday that the main contractor for the project has indicated that “substantial completion” will now be on October 29th, 2024.

This is more than two years after the initially contracted date of August 2022. After the building is completed, it will take several more months to finish fitting out and commissioning, raising the very real chance that no children will be treated in the hospital before the next general election, which must be held by March 2025.

What they said in 2012...

Cabinet row as children's hospital goes to St James's | Independent.ie

Health Minister Dr James Reilly has already admitted that there is now no chance of the project being finished by the original deadline of 2016.

Dr Reilly said the children's hospital could possibly be ready by the end of 2017 or early 2018.

I believe it will be 5-6 times over the original budget. Sure nobody knows, we are waiting on BAM to provide the final cost. 2 billion + for sure. We have been waiting for many months for projected final costs. It's a complete mess.

Probably not.

There was a rumour that an election might be called this time next year after the Budget but i think they might let it run its course because an election has to be called before Feb 2025.

The more things change, the more they stay the same...

What a surprise! Just like the good old days - except no houses and no chance of getting one for most.

I notice this is your first post. Are you really saying the status quo (without the greens, which imho is a given ) continues?

...oh dont worry, plenty of folks are gonna come out and re-vote for another ffg lead government, many of these folks are probably doing just doing fine in life, as theyve been sitting around watching the value of their assets grow under the governance of these parties!

current government could easily just do the same, major companies such as those mentioned arent going anywhere, we still have a a lot to offer such companies, although our failures in maintaining an advancement of critical infrastructure is placing enormous pressure on these companies, which is already causing them to rethink their investment's here, intel etc

...a sf lead government wouldnt change much in regards the operations of such companies here, sf would also more than likely need to pony up with ff anyway, so.....
