Aoife Kavanagh: 1; Ruairí Quinn: 0

Rebelheart

Anybody hear Morning Irish this morning at 8.20, here?

Go to 1.21.45 for the start of Kavanagh's interview with Quinn. You could hear the bould Aoife's smile in her voice as she led him on. Ruairí just stormed ahead "rearing to go" against his constituency competitor, Minister for Environment John Gormley (who has obviously done well politically in that constituency if there is a get-out clause) about how awful this incinerator plan is.

Fast forward to:

1.25.10, Kavanagh: "Well, at this point it might be worth reminding listeners, because this has been going on for 13/14 years, that it was back in 1996 that Labour and Fine Gael voted in the incinerator"

Ruairí, you might as well stop talking anois!

What does voting in the incinerator mean?

And who exactly have been in power, holding the reigns of the dept of Environment for 10 of those years ?
A little guess it was ff and ff lite have held that portfolio for the last 3 years.

Unlike your take on this, which it looks like it is that it is a get out clause for the green minister and by extension his ff buddies in government and a way of hanging Ruairi Quinn, Labour and FG, my take on it is that it goes to show how effing slow our state works that soemthing that was originally mooted back in 1996 still has not been started never mind come into operation.

FFS those years include the glory years of our Celtic Tiger and Bubble economy when the government and state was awash with money.
Yet nothing was done.

It makes me despair at the thought of how long it would take us to build a nuclear power plant in this country.

So rather than you harping on how this takes the heat off a sh**e minister that is part of a sh**e government, maybe you should look at the bigger picture of how we are so inept at planning and implementing projects in this country.

BTW Ruairi Quinn is a 10 times better politican, parliamentarian and man than that sniveling sh**e that sold his soul and this country for a ministerial pension.
