How much was it, before Enda took over?

Not sure, i was just putting it up in large font so people would remember it. You often see people here saying we need to cut dole etc as we are borrowing €18 billion or €20 billion per year.

The figure now is 16 billion according to Enda tonight.

Thank you for proving my point.

Fine then.

I'm delighted that I won't have any real career opportunites until 2015 as our dear leader pointed out in his marvellous and wonderful speech.

Sure it's only around the corner anyway.

Happy days in this country.

Steven Hawking could have delivered a more rallying speech to the country.

What ever slip mili ounce of respect I had for Inda Kenny is gone out the window.

I'm reminded of that scene in Ghostbusters 2 when they are in court and Egon says "Very good, Louis. Short, but pointless"

me f**king arse

and the retailers here are on their knees, and he proposes to increase vat another 2% so more people go north + shop on-line from outside our little state.

he should be shot like a lot of the other highly paid top public servants in this country.

Good to see empty rhetoric is well and truly alive...

He went on and on about creating jobs but never suggested how he might do that. Are they just gonna fall from the sky? And then after all that creating jobs business, he said they were gonna cut 23,000 public sector jobs - is that not a massive paradox? Where does he think those 23,000 are gonna go? I know they need to cut the public sector bill, but they're just gonna end up paying an extra 23,000 people on the dole or through pensions - much of a muchness...

Also it amused me the way he pronounces treaty with three syllables :P

This is what I got out of it: "Ah lads, look, it's not our fault. Not mine, not yours. And sorry, but... eh... I'll have to take a loada money off you on Tuesday. But I'll get ye jobs, I promise... Yeah, I promise I will. Sure didn't I get one for that fella in Limerick? And the other European lads will sort out this euro thing, and we might get rid of that Senate crowd next year. Ah sure the future will be grand, don't even be worrying about it. It'll be grand in 4.. or, eh, 7, years." Did I miss anything?

no...that's about it I think

cept for the details...Bertie and Padraig Harrington do the eh eh ahs like a reversing dump truck as they speak.................

Inda speaks as if he's got an itchy hole but hes determined not to give in to the urge to give it a good old scratching...this leads to short measured sentences with slight pauses in between in order to master the urge to climb up his own arse and see whats "goin on" up there so to speak.

I was working up the North for the last while, and today I listened to Radio 1s coverage of Inda kInnys "speech to the natshiun", and frankly, he came across as a total buffoon speaking gibberish and platitudes, with a leprechaun accent as an added kicker.
He also sounded totally disingenuous. Most of the Irish people I deal with daily are well educated, worldly and pretty sophisticated and yet we end up being represented by a bunch of spivs with nothing but their own self-interest at heart.
Are we as a people really that thick? The presenters on Radio 1 seemed to have a fairly patronising attitude to Kennys diatribe-in fairness it was hard not to agree. Do we come across as a bunch of thicks and gombeens to other nations?

Do you really judge people by their accent? If he had a posh accent would it be better?

This kind of poorly written rant is exactly why I rarely post in AH

Maybe try some spacing to make your babble some way readable?
