Peter Casey believes Travellers should not be recognised as an ethnic minority

Millionaire shouts at welfare recipients (~2 million in Ireland) from his helicopter.

I'd say Casey would be a big fan of corporate welfare though.

The millionaire has put the Shyte crossways in them and you can even smell it from some of the posts trying to down him. You boys are worried.
He has opened the can of worms.

Typical of after hours. Someone goes against the popular opinion and gets shouted down.

Tbf most of those "welfare recipients" are paying high taxes and getting some back in the form of children's allowance.

He wasn't shouting at people who work for a living, he was rightfully complaining how some are treated better than others based on their so-called "ethicity".

Now that I have your attention maybe you could answer the question some of us asked of you on Fri night -

Where is the racism in Casey's statement in the debate?
You never replied on Fri.

No solutions! WTF.

Get tax inspectors into every ‘halting site’ in the country, examine sources of income, look for tax history, investigate the income sources and the taxes paid or not paid.

Same way as everyone else can be investigated if required by the Rev.

That would be a fairly good start, then examine welfare payments, school attendance records same as everyone else . Match up recipients with actual people.

There’s two good solutions for starters...and there’s more.

And how pray tell Brendy are you going to get the government to do all the above?

You need to go back and check, it appears that you missed it.

The constant playing of the victim card by Casey and his supporters is turning a lot of people against him.

Casey will be in the very place those who don't want to tackle the issues in this country want him to be, if the mob manage to elect him. Controlled as president and his mouth firmly shut.

Why can't you just answer simple questions? The poster is merely asking you to reiterate something you said. You yourself say they may have missed it. If that's the case, would it not be handy just to say it again? If you stand over what you said, just say it again. Easy.

Meanwhile socialist Higgins sends a government car the 90 miles or so to Belfast airport to await him decanting from the government Lear jet which flew the 90 miles to carry our esteemed socialist man of the people .

When called out, runs with a spurious security excuse that the rozzers in the north have had to come out and contradict him.

Not very presidential.

By the way, so long as casey is flying in his helicopter, at his expense, he can do whatever the hell he likes imo.

No. I don't think you provided any evidence at all. Simply because there was no evidence. I think you hid that night.

Great to see Casey still in the race and highlighting the welfare state issues.
As he's not in Govt he can do no more than highlight it, not his job to find solutions unless he runs for the Dail in the GE.

Yes, somebody needs to highlight that close to 50% of the population are on welfare.

It is hard to rationalise this in the absence of the full facts.

The PSNI did not and will not release details of the security analysis of MDH's trip.

The final call on security for MDH or any other President must come from this side of the border. Our security will never release details of their analysis.

At first view it seems wasteful to use an airplane for such a short trip but you might take into account the actual real opportunity cost of using the plane. The plane is sitting in Baldonnel. The crew are all being paid anyway. Then there is the need for training and keeping up hours for the pilots. The more you dig down into it the actual cost is going down.

Man of the people.

One thing Irish people have no time for, is someone desperately trying to get themselves in the news at any cost. Whether it's some idiot from a boyband or some moron from a reality tv show. It never ends well for them.

Irish people see right through Peter Casey's bull****.

Not that I have heard, his latest views on the welfare nation that we live in will carry him over the line as winner. #1 Casey

It's almost everyone according to this.

Almost every person in Ireland benefits, directly or indirectly, from some form of social welfare payment which amount to €20bn a year.

Of course he's popular. He's going to romp home on the first count according to after hours.

You've got a long wait ahead of you so. It would probably be quicker going back through the posts.

Be funny if Leo attacks that now, after he himself being attacked for 'class warfare' from his "welfare cheats, cheat us all" and actually never doing about it.

It will be news to a lot of Senior Citizens on Contributory Pensions who worked all their lives that they are "welfare recipients".

The PSNI come out and dismissed Higgins claims, an offical statement that said it was "inconceivable that the President of Ireland wouldn't have had security provided for him" if asked.

Read between the lines.

Indeed, which makes Higgins cover up seem a bigger sin than the actual crime.

I expect him to be collared with this in the next head to head debate.

If he shows up.

You seem to be worried Dav3.

I've money on the outcome, yet I'm viewing it as a bit of craic.

Leo Varadkar is the man you can blame for me voting for Casey. I doubt I'm alone either.

As I said we do not contract out the final call on the security of our head of state to the PSNI. If our side said do it by plane that's the end of it.
In order to get to the truth we might like to access the security analysis of the trip but that can never happen for obvious reasons.

I don't think his answer in the debate was in the nature of a cover up.

Leo likes the man who gets up early to work but not as much as the man who never ever worked and never will.

I'm just offering an alternative view of Peter Casey, you know, for the craic.

With the majority of people on after hours (and the internet) supporting him, I feel it's important to have a differing view. It's healthy for the "debate" don't you think?
