Fair play Enda.... Actually gave some specific details on jobs.... the rest seem to be waffling...

InReality · 14-02-2011 11:08pm

Questions are pretty ****e. Are these the best they could come up with ?

Its no wonder FF keep getting voted in.

bradlente · 14-02-2011 11:08pm

Gilmores doin alright he could do without the jazz hands though

Whenever Gilmore starts talking all I can hear in my head is "spoofer, spoofer, spoofer!"

Always good to see people listening with an open mind.

hmmm Martin saying they did vote for it.

These politicians are supposed to get their message across quickly, concisely and in an informative style. Going on ramblings like Gormley did there ruins the style.

Yeah but who wants to listen to this? There is nothing here I haven't heard before from any of them. It's basically to see who won't mess up.

Mr.Nice Guy · 14-02-2011 11:09pm

I can't help but feel they are all spoofing tbh. This country is down and out for the next few years anyway.

It would be more credible and believable to just have Merkel standing up there and ask her what our prospects are.

kev9100 · 14-02-2011 11:09pm

Where for the love of God are we getting Gerry's 7 Billion from? Its utter nonsense.

amacachi · 14-02-2011 11:09pm

That's right Gerry, re-inflate the construction sector while there's a massive surplus of housing and other units and a falling population.

PeakOutput · 14-02-2011 11:10pm

missed the first ten minutes

i think martin and gormley are clawing back credibiility slowly but surely

i like what kenny is saying but he just dosnt have any sor tof personality to get behind

gilmore is a gob****e

i hate gerrys policy but he is a far better speaker then gilmore and kenny which is very unfortunate

Deepwell · 14-02-2011 11:10pm

Yeah, Gerry goin to spend €7b building tunnels around Jonesboro to make the diesel laundering more effieicent....

I do. They're on national television and if speaking properly and committing (yes, I'm asking quite a bit) they could swing votes.

steelcityblues · 14-02-2011 11:10pm

Anyone keeping count on Gilmore's Sept 08 mentions?

Course they are, but communism ain't the answer out of it. :pac:

Drumpot · 14-02-2011 11:10pm

Martin : "I think we need to do more" .

Thanks but no thanks. You have done enough.

I've heard too much of his waffle for it to have an effect at this stage. He was asked how his government would help create jobs..................still waiting for an answer.

Yes it's about damage limitaion really. Would be nice if any of them admitted it.

SEPT 23 1989 · 14-02-2011 11:10pm

Why did you nothing about rates in the last 14 years?

Adams is stronger in an authority way but I like Kenny as a speaker, clear, focused but somewhat slow to get going.

Mike Strutter · 14-02-2011 11:11pm

Gerry would be great at re-negotiatiing the imf deal

Gerry : Will you lower ther rate their?

IMF: No

Gerry: Do you like your knee caps?

IMF: No problem Mr Adams - what rate would you like

Kimono-Girl · 14-02-2011 11:11pm

omg enda just lied through his teeth :eek: indeed cork county council mainly FG run has increased rates by 4%!

deelite · 14-02-2011 11:12pm

Gormley reminds me of a spitting image puppet of John Major - very grey.

FG are gonna take tax us through the back door . .

axer · 14-02-2011 11:12pm

Gormley attacking Kenny - lol

SEPT 23 1989 · 14-02-2011 11:12pm

Tag team Martin & Gormley

ReacherCreature · 14-02-2011 11:12pm

Adams is begging Pat to speak. Pat's like a childminder here.

efb · 14-02-2011 11:13pm

Kenny looked stumped from Gormleys point on giving power to local council

amacachi · 14-02-2011 11:13pm

Gerry doing well to appeal to the idiots alas.

Its not as if they had 14 years to do anything, oh wait a minute :rolleyes:

Bobeagleburger · 14-02-2011 11:13pm

None of these are fit to lead the country.

What a bunch of spoofers.

EDIT Gerry's spot on about the natural resouces though.

krustydoyle · 14-02-2011 11:13pm

Gerry's gonna burst

Yep, he got a clean punch there.

Gerry just reminded me of something

Mike Strutter · 14-02-2011 11:13pm

2020 ??

320K jobs in Europe??

WTF

ReacherCreature · 14-02-2011 11:14pm

Gormley remembering that he's with the Greens re: his job creation policies.

Now imagine he could be challenged on everything else he said tonite ! ! If you are an FG supporter your response would be :eek:

lilbelter · 14-02-2011 11:14pm

Obviously Gerry hasn't seen any GAA clubs accounts recently.....

InReality · 14-02-2011 11:14pm

At least john didn't say our best resource is our people. Really sick of that line.

Jayob10 · 14-02-2011 11:14pm

Kenny will get the media praise tomorrow but this is all nonsense really. Soundbite after soundbite

Specific election manifestos and aims need to be published in advance of things like this. Let people see what parties promise to SPECIFICALLY achieve in black and white. They can be judged on this after their term.

Let these manifestos be scrutinised by experts via questions to leaders. In essence it would be the potential leader being interviewed and we would see each leader in this scenario. rather than have them answer generic questions from joe public where nothing specific will ever be put forward.

axer · 14-02-2011 11:14pm

Gormley back in the game?

F;ucking GAA - who cares!

monkey9 · 14-02-2011 11:14pm

What the f*ck is going on with Enda Kenny's eyebrows???? Has he lifted them so much in confusion that half of them have fallen off?

pjmn · 14-02-2011 11:14pm

I’ve no political affiliation, but I’d rate them so far based on their contributions (which I’d admit aren’t awe inspiring from any of them) as follows…
1. Enda
2. Míchéal
3. Gerry
4. John
5. Eamon

And he should keep bloody mentioning it. Labour made the right decision and they have the right policies now.

Spacedog · 14-02-2011 11:15pm

fair play to Gerry for mentioning Corrib Gas, Martin was shi*ting a brick! then waffled about GAA!

Mike Strutter · 14-02-2011 11:15pm

Thats it Gerry

Put him back in his box

Dinner · 14-02-2011 11:15pm

Gerry: I didn't interrupt you once
Michael: Yes you did
Gerry: Ok

:pac:
