As you have shown on all previous "discussion" you just ignore any question that might be a bit difficult to answer and go off on a ramble. Which is exactly what you done....hence why I ignored

As I said, come back with some answer from the Healy Raes and we can have a discussion

I will ignore the rest of the childish gibberish

Oh I am so very sorry, it must be my "childish" nature, let me get out of my souped up Civic turn down the music and listen to your married, two kids and a mortgage adult wisdom.

What was the question I ignored ?

Are you referring to your "I wonder...." statement (not a question directed at anyone according to my education). If you are my answer is "I dont know".

I will not ask for any reply to the countless questions you ignore by being very adult and saying "Its rubbish so I didnt read it", just that statement says it all.

Plenty financial services jobs in Kerry, Fexco.

Im well aware of Fexco. Nothing to do with the Healy Rae's why that company is in Kerry.

Ah, 'tis yourself again.

Ohh and you know when I mention tourism you ignore it by saying:

"Is every young person in Kerry supposed to be happy cleaning up hotel rooms after people or working in a bar?".

And then when someone mentions Flexco and you say "Im well aware of Fexco. Nothing to do with the Healy Rae's why that company is in Kerry."

And the COO of Fexco says "Fexco was set up 37 years ago its location
was very relevant to its success because tourists travelling the Ring of Kerry were able to change the dollar or sterling for punts through its Bureau de Change service in tourist shops along the route When the company expanded to provide other services from the mid 1980s, its location didn’t really matter and it now serves most of the globe, employing 2,300 people."

Dam Romans, so apart from the Bar work, the Hotel work, the shop work, the farmers produce, the financial services, what have the tourists ever given us !

Please refer back to post #1044

Muahahaha

How come they are not running three candidates in south Kerry? I remember from the last election they had almost three quotas between the two of them and could have taken a third seat with good vote management.

SlowBlowin

Ahh, you didn't read it, I answered that in the next post 1045 that's one of the ones you said you didn't read.

OK I will give it a go, you are asking me for a question.

QUESTION

Given the information I posted about the comment from the COO of Fexco on how important Tourism was in creating Flexco, do you think your previous post dismissing tourism for Kerry (quoted below):

"Is every young person in Kerry supposed to be happy cleaning up hotel rooms after people or working in a bar? not setting your sights high for the young people of Kerry are you? What happens if someone doesnt want to work in a hotel? "

Was:

A) An incorrect conclusion reached by a lack of reading relevent information.

A casual comment with no thought (or reading).

C) My true feeling and the COO of Flexco knows nothing about her company, and I am right.

A, B or C or have you not read this far ?

Shefwedfan

Keep going around in circles....

I refer you back to post #1044

Give us all a shout back with more details......

SlowBlowin

OK, you are just Trolling, I get it.

There is zero logic or sense in any of what you are saying and post 1044 has nothing to do with the question.

If you rule out wealthy people running in politics, then you have ruled out the majority of great politicians.

How many great politicians, that have been held in high regard, whether rich or poor before a career in politics, died a poor man ?

I think its odd to hold an increase in financial wealth against any successful, intelligent politician, history has shown its a given.

I have no problem with wealthy politicians, what i do have a problem with is a wealthy politician who expects other people to finance their election expenses, it's not like he can't afford it.

No issue but why play the poor mouth.. he gets a leaders allowance and buckets of expenses and we now get a raffle...don’t worry he will get elected with 20000 votes agsin but transparency is also good ... should you be out canvassing rather than giving the night on boards

I’m only jealous I’m not a millionaire landlord ... although he has no chipper in the portfolio

Good to see Healy Rae has a top end phone cost nearly 1500 euro...goes with landlord status... would be a great prize for a raffle

I totally get your point, and its one I have said myself before, but its on very shaky ground but probably best discussed elsewhere.

In brief, if thats your stance, that if you can afford more you should pay more (as an interdependent he has to pay for election stuff other TDs don't), then I disagree on two points:

1. It puts an interdependent at a considerable disadvantage over a funded candidate, as running for office would certainly diminish their net worth.

2. If you believe that if you can afford it you should pay more, then by extrapolation of the argument, as I have more money than my neighbour I should pay more for government services (refuse, roads etc).

Plus its a transparent mechanism for supporters to donate in a open fashion, yet it still attracts criticism.

As I said at the start I have said that same thing before, but in the pure sense of the argument I think I was wrong to do so.

Just my view.

That's disgusting, and with us only having the one mast, what a waste.

Only met him a couple of times, helped me out meaningfully on both occasions had no reason to help, other than I was in Kerry and he was my TD.

Shefwedfan

I did like the constant reference to people saying Kerry people are idiots on this thread

Well that’s how the Healy Rae are threaten them, the guy is fleecing the country and then ask to pay for his election, seemingly in letter, those letters I would guess are the one the tax pay has paid for and all TD are entitled to send as part of election

Really if the kerrry people do pay for them....let them off, haven’t seen such blindness in a politician since Germany and hitler

Godwin's law

There are many corollaries to Godwin's law, some considered more canonical (by being adopted by Godwin himself)[3] than others.[1] For example, there is a tradition in many newsgroups and other Internet discussion forums that, when a Hitler comparison is made, the thread is finished and whoever made the comparison loses whatever debate is in progress.[8] This principle is itself frequently referred to as Godwin's law.[9]

Godwin's law itself can be abused as a distraction, diversion or even as censorship, fallaciously miscasting an opponent's argument as hyperbole when the comparisons made by the argument are actually appropriate.[10] Similar criticisms of the "law" (or "at least the distorted version which purports to prohibit all comparisons to German crimes") have been made by the American lawyer, journalist, and author Glenn Greenwald.[11]

Out of interest did he make a big song and dance about something you could get easy.. or did he really do something to make a difference.. in my case he tried to claim credit for cash I was entitled to and I had completed all paperwork myself.. I have met both enjoy mike the most but in fairness they both remind me of goal hangers... they wait for a sit ball to land at their feet and then scoreeee... they have no concept ofnational interest.. so why don’t they stay in the council...,being cynical it’s the expenses and the raffle tickets
