Enda kenny really milks the bejaysus out of a wee bit of good news doesnt he

Specialun

Just had an 2 hour long drive and any radio station i put on kenny was milking the bejaysus out of the news of 335 jobs been created

Dont get me wrong its nice that possibly 335 ppl could get off the dole but surely celebrating this in the way they do is just desperation or political advertising

A while back the minister was at my place of work milking 200 jobs...6 weeks later they were let around 50 ppl go

Do you agree that he well and truely has the milking machine on any good news he can hop on

I think politicians claiming credit for every tiny bit of good news is what annoys people.

This + house prices rising = certain economic success.

Im curious did you just chose to ignore where i said it was good news or did you feel it would get in the way of your highhorse post

It is good news to get 350 people will be taken off the dole. It doesn't bother me whether or not Kenny goes on about it, mainly because I'm not as easily annoyed or irked as other people.

There's no chance of getting him/her down off that horse either, best off to give it an all merciful slap up the arse and have it giddy on up outta here never to be seen again.

His smug face appearing on the news has cost me alot of televisions recently.

yea all have little to be giving out about, if fat head announcing a few jobs on tv annoys ya

FFS - what do ye want , the minister for desperation giving a hourly update on the ****ty state of the nation ???

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WslFcRFLTIY

just ignore him and his ilk - or even better change channel.

It's a catch 22 really. It's marketing really isn't it. The enemy would be all over the same thing so you have to get people to hear about your own positives.

Can one imagine if one of the big parties just decided to stop campaigning and not put up any election posters. They'd lose votes.

Perhaps you should stop changing the channel when the news is on?

The job announcements are brilliant news and being a mature student in his my final year of college it heartens me to hear that jobs are picking up and that the unemployed rates are falling slowly but surely.

What we hate is that buffoon practically taking the credit for their creation. He is a pure spin doctor. As wooden as pinochio and a bigger bluffer. Couldnt debate his way out of a paper bag.

In other news, Enda is delighted to announce that HE has created more jobs in both DID, Electrocity, Power City and all other TV and electrical retail outlets due to the sudden demand for tvs.....and repairs

you must be annoyed a lot so

Dman001

While it's always great to see more jobs being created, they all seem to more-less seek the same requirements, i.e. highly qualified people in the Technology industry. Have to wonder who is filling these positions, and, more importantly, are the measures being put in place to fill the skill shortage.

average hero

It is fantastic to hear that jobs are being created and I am delighted.

What Enda may not be telling us is how many jobs are for fluent German/French/Spanish speakers who are required in their jobs at the likes of eBay, Google etc. A lot of these jobs go to expats who immigrate here (whom I welcome)

He is also not tackling the huge amount of unemployed who have construction related skills such as trades or architects/QS's etc. The jobs are being created in two areas (fairly low skilled admin or telesales etc. or highly skilled tech/pharmaceutical companies). The people stuck in between have little choice.

Femme_Fatale

Yeh Apple is always hiring, but pretty much solely bilingual people, which is fair enough, but as said, a few hundred new jobs doesn't necessarily mean that much for unemployed Irish people.

I don't get the absolute vitriol re Enda though. I mean, he's cringey, lacking in charisma, and can be a complete dope, but otherwise he's fairly benign. He's not a horrible, hateful **** - and is a saint in comparison with Ahern and Haughey.
The venom towards him just seems like "He's a politician - let's attack him" bandwagon-jumping.

LIT Tipperary man by the bang off your posts.

Enda, where are you?

Danske Bank Ireland, formerly National Irish Bank, is to withdraw from the personal banking market to refocus on its corporate customers. The refocus will result in the loss of 150 jobs in the Republic.

Sometimes I find attitudes in this country truely mind boggling.

People whinge and moan about the state of the country, the lack of jobs etc but then they also moan when something good happens just because it's Enda Kenny who annouces it.

I really think people are just complaining and being annoyed for the sake of it now, or because it's the thing to do.

Jobs have been created, this is good news, stop whinging.

All that bull**** that went on in the convention centre yesterday while the good citizens of capital were facing into their first night of many having no drinking water

well done Kenny

keeponhurling

In fairness to Enda, all politicians do this. As a politican in Ireland he probably doesn't know any other way to react.

Doesn't matter anyways, as the Irish electorate have very short memories, for good or bad news.

I agree and i don't have any bias against the man but him ignoring the problem or his smart ass answer on the subject was sickening

I would have a lot more respect if he said "yes there was a mess up, I'm sorry." This water thing seems to be becoming a regular occurrence in Dublin

Don't be so dramatic. They aren't cutting off the water completely, just rationing it. No one is going to be completely without it.

It's not Enda Kenny's fault.

Enda Kenny should be personally investigating the source of this water shortage instead of meeting with potential investors.

Yes we do...again it's just been limited, and only between certain hours, not 24/7.

Lets stop acting like we are in the middle of a drought.

They just love giving out - they know a pop at Kenny & Co. will be a popular move on here so it's a handy way to accrue 'Thanks'. Inside however, they welcome the 350 jobs and they don't really care that Enda Kenny is happy. And on this note, I'll depart from the thread as I'm pretty sure the AH Negativity Brigade will be on the prowl for another cheap '10 Thanks' by attacking my post in some sarcastic way that will probably also involve burning the bankers as part of their analysis.

Also good to see Audrey Hepburn has the time to comment on these grave matters.

Nobody should be allowed become Taoiseach without a rudimentary grounding in the principles of water composition and treatment. It's a complete no-brainer.

Successive Governments have failed to do what every other civilised country has taken for granted,that is the need to build enough reservoirs to meet future demand.
Instead we have hairbrained ideas to take water from the west of Ireland in a country where it seldom stops raining.
