    No IDA jobs for Limerick since FF got into power in 1997 = No votes.

    They deserve to be particularly hammered in both Limerick East and West.

    Really?
    There was plenty of jobs in Limerick at the time.

    FF brought in one the highest minimum wages and dole rates in the entire world.
    Now you moan about it?

    Anybody who thinks a 'change' in government is going to change our daily lives is away with fairies.

    Does Maurice Quinlivan know the McCabes killers?
    I guess Republican circles in Limerick were/are small.

    How come Maurice is proud of his brother's republican activities?

    Overall, why in God's name would anyone vote for a party that has killed Irish men, women and children, members of the Irish police force, have been involved in criminality such as the Northern Bank Raid as revealed by Wikileaks.

    Why vote for a party that wants to increase the rate of corporation tax and the tax on people who work.

    As for making no cutbacks? Look at Sinn Féin's record in the North. It was Bairbre De Bruin who made the decision to shut down Omagh General Hospital. I thought they fought for the 'ordinary folk'.

    Hi does anyone know if Cian Prenderville is actually working-class? Or an 'ordinary worker'. I know he comes from Caherdavin, which not really 'working class' nor does he have a 'working class Limerick accent'.
    Many friends of mine have said he's middle-class.

    Does anyone know what his parents do for a living?
    How can represent working class people?

    Hi does anyone know if Cian Prenderville is actually working-class? Or an 'ordinary worker'.
    There are only two "classes" in Ireland, those who work for a living and those who don't, simple fact, those who work for a living reside in all area's of the country, as do now, thanks to the HSE, those who don't, ask anybody in Raheen.
    I know he comes from Caherdavin, which not really 'working class'
    Caherdavin is working class, the vast majority of residents work for a living, although, again, thanks to the HSE, we now have a fair share of the non working class.
    nor does he have a 'working class Limerick accent'.
    Many friends of mine have said he's middle-class.
    Whats a "working class accent" if you mean he can string more than two intelligible sentences together no he has'nt
    Does anyone know what his parents do for a living?
    How can represent working class people?

    What has, "what his parents do for a living", got to do with anything?, as parents, they worked very hard to give him every opportunity in life they possibly could, that makes them part of the class who work for a living, where's the crime in that?
    He is running as a Socialist Party/ULA candidate, he has no political experience, ergo, he has no chance, but good luck to him anyway, he is a very personable human being.

    What's a working class accent? - 'A boy da kid how's it going?'
    Do you genuinely don't know what a Limerick working class accent is?

    Ironically I'm from Caherdavin. We're not working class.
    Take the average value of a house here and tell me its working class.

    If Prenderville has nothing to fear why doesn't he reveal his parents occupations and salaries.

    Two classes of people? Working and non-working?
    Emmm no.
    There's working class (Moyross + Southill), Middle-class (Caherdavin, Raheen, Dooradoyle) and Upper-Middle Class (North Circular Rd, Castletroy)

    What does it matter what 'class' Cian is?
    I met many members of the Socialist Party such as Dan Finn (ex-member) who happened to be educated at the posh Gonzaga College in Dublin.
    Paul Murphy from the leafy suburbs of Killiney, Co. Dublin. These two used to rant on about how the 'unemployed and workers' were getting screwed yet they'd head back home to their fancy homes in the evening.

    I find it quite hypocritical of someone from social class A,B, or C trying to represent the working classes.
    I'm just making sure Cian isn't one of them.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 104 ✭✭nickobrien1985


    how?

    Is Cian Prenderville working class? simple question.

    Someone posh trying to represent, is like an unemployed man trying to represent IBEC


    Could one represent IBEC if they're unemployed?

    How many of the local Limerick candidate want to raise the rate of corporation tax?


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 30,914 Mod ✭✭✭✭Insect Overlord


    He's not "posh". I don't think I've ever met anyone "posh" in Caherdavin.

    The guy spent his whole teenage life educating himself on social policies, economics, human and civil rights. He dedicated countless hours to causes that impacted greatly on local people in Limerick. He's given speeches and lectures in both Ireland and America.

    I'm not going to be giving him my first preference this year, but I'll support him as a person at every opportunity I can. The effort he puts behind his beliefs is immense. What his parents do for a living means nothing in this context.

    Spent his life educating himself? Really so do most of us.

    I saw he was in the US - how did he afford the airfare? Surely if you're poor you wouldn't be able to go. Again maybe he could afford it a) he's got money b) mommy and daddy have money.

    I believe you can't speak for the working class if you're not one of them.
    It's like representing an African American Group if you're white.

    Really I've never met crazier people than those in the Socialist party.

    Why is Cian Prenderville on Facebook?

    Facebook is a Multinational part-owned by the evil Goldman Sachs.
    I think the Socialist party and Cian are hypocritical to use this platform.


    I wonder what Facebook employees and Marc Zuckerberg himself who feel about Cian's plans to increase the rate of corporation tax in Ireland.
    It would lead to more highly qualified people leaving the country and joining the dole queue.

    And you seem to be unusually biased against him. The logic behind your argument is twisted. I honestly can't see how you can back up the point you're trying to make. Your comments about how he could afford to go to America are pure speculation, clutching at straws even.

    I went to school with Cian, both primary and secondary. We never really got on very well when we were younger, but having followed his progress over the last six or seven years I've developed a great respect for him.

    That is the accent and attitude of the non working class
    Ironically I'm from Caherdavin. We're not working class.
    Take the average value of a house here and tell me its working class.
    So am I, the class who work for a living, the value of houses has no bearing on anything.

    None of his, or your, business

    So, they happen to hold a belief in Socialism, I don't, but will still defend their right, and, not pass judgement on them.

    He has put himself forward as a candidate, let the electorate decide.

    Ardscoil Ris didn't educate you well enough did they?

    I remember him trying organise a protest in school. He was one who always tried to get under the skin of the teachers. He was an idealist living in cuckoo-land

    He's screwed up in the head.

    Anyway if I made similar points about a Fine Gael or Fianna Fail candidate you'd probably laugh and agree.

    Socialists love to dish out criticism but they can't seem to take it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 104 ✭✭nickobrien1985


    How can you be middle-class and far-left?
    Its a contradiction in itself.

    Is Cian self-loathing?

    Also Cian has deleted some very valid points I put on his Facebook page.
    He's like all politicians, they'll tolerate freedom of speech up to a point, i.e. as long as it suits them

    I'm moaning about that before 1997, we (in Limerick ) had 1 of the lowest unemployment rates in the country, now we have 1 of the highest, if not the highest.

    FYP. Oh the ironing.

    Regarding your point about representing the working class. Tell that to Joe Higgins in Dublin west who's originally from Kerry.

    I never agreed with him but I, like Insect have respect for his beliefs and convictions. Leave the intelligent discussions to the grown ups like a good man.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,366 ✭✭✭ninty9er


    I think it's fair to say that Cian would never through force of necessity have had a life that would be uncomfortable, but he is deeply committed to the socialist ideals which he represents.

    Whether his parents are well off or not is irrelevant to his ideology, though I think it would be fair to say his background would probably be incompatible with his political beliefs.

    I know Cian is deeply committed to the socialist ideals, though I completely disagree with the views of the ULA in the majority of policy areas.

    Look like Gerry Mc Cabe is being dusted off & given a fresh suit of cloths for the election.

    And here was I hoping that the election was going to be about things like the cuts in my pay packet, emigration, unemployment, cuts to minimum wage and social welfare etc.

    I suppose that some people are happy to grasp at any straw other than discuss the real issues affecting our lives in 2011.

    And here was I hoping that the election was going to be about things like the cuts in my pay packet, emigration, unemployment, cuts to minimum wage and social welfare etc.
    FYI, Detective's McCabe and O'Sullivan were escorting a An Post van delivering Social Welfare payments to Post Offices in Co. Limerick when he was murdered.

    The shame lies with those trying to dust off Gerry Mc Cabe & exploit his memory to suit their political needs. Its now become a regular feature of Irish elections by those wishing to dodge the real issues.

    Any day now certain politicians will be launching their usual Gerry Mc Cabe special in the local media, looking for apologies, condemnations and asserting their own alleged commitment to democracy etc. It gets them some publicity without having to talk about their political record or policies & fills space for the Leader & Post. Readers realize that its just a publicity game & take little notice. We can expect this well practice performance to begin again any day now.

    I'm not interested in building a shrine to the dead. Right now my interests are mainly focused on where my next pay packet comes from and if I will have to emigrate.

    I don't care who did what. I have absolutely no interest in who did what in days of yore. Nor do I have the slighest interest in who condemns what. I would be interested though if they could tell me where I can find a job. I am simply too busy just trying to survive to be distracted by the exploiters of Gerry Mc Cabe's memory.

    Next thing a certain discredited Limerick politician (the one who usually starts the Gerry Mc Cabe media election fest) will hoist himself up to a microphone & will claim that if Gerry Mc Cabe was still alive he would be voting Fianna Fail.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,920 ✭✭✭AnCapaillMor


    Going FG for the first time ever, i think we need a party in charge with a big amount of seats in the dail so as to avoid being pulled either way by other parties. FG are the only ones able to do this. SF raise the corporate tax, are you insane!!!!, labour nices ideas but the way the economy is they're not practical.

    It's not exploiting Jerry McCabe to remember he was murdered by the IRA in the line of duty. The fact that SF can't condemn the murder of a Garda is sickening to me and it's a real issue in how I choose to vote. Why would anyone vote for a party that sees no problem in murdering Gardai?

    Both were in houses that were being used as part of a rehousing scheme, but it has not been confirmed if either were the actual people that the houses were given to, rather than friends/boyfriends/guests of those who were officially given the houses.

    Similar to when Shane Geoghegan was murdered in Kilteragh, he was mistaken for a scumbag who was living in a house there that was given to his girlfiriend who got the house as she was an unmarried mother.


    At least of of those arrested and charged was originally from the Weston area where he spent most of his life.


    Great country though where the scum can get housing as easily as those who need it badly, and the same scum can get free legal aid whenever they commit crime.

    If certain politicians wanted to highlight what you have correctly stated, then they should not have to wait until their is an election around the corner before bringing up the issue. Sadly enough it was brought up just in time for the last general election as well.

    This is just a cheap tactic that is dragged up over and over again at every election.

    Don't interpret that as in any way defending SF on this matter but there is no denying that it is just a lazy tactic, usually deployed by Fianna Fail.

    If you want to have a go at Sinn Fein why not come up with something new, like their economic policy for example.

    Bringing up Jerry McCabe is just getting old now. Everyone knows that SF won't budge on the issue. It is hardly a revelation to anyone at this stage.

    The current generation of Gardai are probably concerned about the same issues as the rest of us, such as the destruction of their pay packet by the new income levies this month, will members of their family have to emigrate etc.

    I am going to give you a big F- for your lazy attempt to stir it up for SF. You need to try harder. Perhaps if you read their literature or something you could come up with something remotely relevant to the 2011 election to challenge them on.

    And to SF, would you guys & girls just email out some class of an apology, please, any little thing will do, just so that posters wanting to have a go at you will be forced to come up with something new and the rest of us can get on with debating the real issues of 2011.

    Maurice is vice-chairperson of the Limerick City Joint Policing Committee so I don't think the Gardai see the rise of SF as an issue.

    The Council appoints that, not the Gardai, afaik, and they can't object to who's on it.

    Won't be voting for sinn fein or ff.

    IRA murdered too many people.

    Maurice Quinlivan does come accross as a good fella just don't like his party.

    No idea who i'm voting for yet.

    Who ever gets in, will it make any difference, i think the county is so f**ked up. Can Enda or Eamon fix it?
