Whoever is sitting on it, it's worth a political fortune at the moment. They can literally name their political price.

Irish people need to cop the **** on and for once give a government not consisting of a civil war party a go.

I think the social democrats whilst not perfect could be a breath of fresh air. More people need to get involved in the discussion around the future of Ireland and what we want our kids to grow up in. Thats you, I and everyone else.

Well the Greens the last time achieved their aim, to get nearly every new car in Ireland to be a diesel.

That was a success.

Wait til the folk buying heating oil or coal are told the carbon tax is going to double. See what they thing of the Greens after that.

I do hope they make polluter pay like....we're subsidising farmers (the boom in dairy has overwhelming caused our need to pay carbon tax) because of the main stream parties too close relationship to.farmers


Meh there should be a push to subsidise double glazing and insulation aswel to aid heating bills



Im guessing they will push to expand the national electric car fleet??

Congestion charge for dublin should be the first step anyway.

Boy are the Irish people going to pay for their pathetically short political memory. We as a society have learned nothing. Some choice we have FF/FG/Green/Provos

Exactly. And are a picture of the Irish voter. They are who Ireland wants to be governed by. 't has always been thus.
Any flaws people see in FG and FF, are the same flaws that also exist in themselves. Until people mature and stop having their voting decisions influence by this type of sideshow, they will continue flipflopping, blaming parties or blindly supporting parties, or following a rainbow, at the end of which they think they will find a Messiah Taoiseach who will be the answer to all their problems. The naivety is astounding.

My Da voted for X, and so did his Da, so I'll always vote for X.

I'll presume this David Kennedy SC guy doing the internal review has gotten plenty of high paying work from the Govt in the past and as he would probably like more of that work in the future, he will be very, very thorough and leave no stone unturned.

Well he certainly has experience of personal injuries

Tue, Jul 25, 2017, Irish Times
A man who injured his shoulder while loading a horse onto a lorry for well known trainer has been awarded €92,000 damages at the High Court. A stay on the award applies in the event of an appeal on terms including the defendant pay half - €46,000 - to the Plaintiff.

He had sued his trainer, over the incident at the stud on November 18th 2013. The man said he sustained the injuries after a horse he placed into a lorry became “spooked” and fell. Mr Justice Michael Hanna said he was satisfied the defendant had been negligent and the man was entitled to damages totalling €92,000, plus his legal costs.

The man (65), represented by David Kennedy SC, Michael Murray BL and Downes Solicitors, claimed the defendant had not assisted him when he was completing the task of leading a horse into a partitioned horse transport vehicle.

92k for an injured shoulder, fcukin hell

Thomas Byrne TD after saying just now on the Tonight Show that he is a solicitor and there is no way he would have taken on a case like Maria Baileys claim. Madigan just threw her glass of wine at the tv.

Maybe he would have, if he was at the scene of the incident and witnessed it happening though.

The same electric car fleet that 70% powered by burning cheap South American coal . Cop on .
It’s the same “optics” Leo uses. Bullsh1t. How about doing the thing right ! How about the greens actually do more than propose more taxes and builds wind or solar power facilities. Oh that costs money. Same bullsh1t from them

An interesting perspective on wind and solar energy.

What an absolute gobsh*te. Working around horses is dangerous. There is no if, but, or maybe about it. Even with ever increasing standards in safety and education, it's still dangerous. If people start suing for things like that, then we may shoot all the horses in the country. You work in close proximity to a very large, very strong prey animal. You are going to get hurt.

I've been trying to advocate for stable workers rights for quite some time because some of the working conditions are absolutely appalling. This sort of crap makes it very difficult to be taken seriously.

Ah okay. Sorry never saw that . I actually saw it on Twitter . I'm addicted to the game. Got 2900 and hit over the head with 3 wine glasses !

Crazy! But we were gullible suckers in the Bertie/ global boom era where we were all financial wizards! We were under debted ? and an expensive health care system was draining our new found riches so we/him created a brand new health care industry . Now with the money we give you you buy your health care as you need it . We can’t undo it as hundreds will lose their jobs in the insurance industry and we don’t have a state health service to step in.
Sorry for the rant ?

What they are all after is the much coveted diamond studded ministers pension.
You only need 3 years as a minister and you have a massive pension for life (you'll never see them doing less than that for a reason), and more than one pension if you manage to collect a few cabinet jobs. chauffeur and car for life if you've ever been taoiseach. Only third world African dictatorships are more lucrative.

I always knew stable workers have a tough job but never knew how tough it is until I read this article a couple of months ago

Some of them working up to 19 hours a day and then having to sleep in the stables above the horses. Unreall stuff going on and they arent even covered by workplace legislation. Its shameful that the owners are multi millionaires and then they treat their staff so badly
