What has happened to this country?

We have drug wars in Dublin, gang wars in Drogheda and now armed patrols in Longford.

Rent prices in Dublin averaging around €2,000 a month and €1,500 for the rest country, child care about the same. The banks not seeing people who are paying that every month capable of paying a cheaper mortgage. People waiting years for live saving operations and the elderly being plundered of their homes to pay for care in their later life. Dead patients left to rot on hospital corridors.

The country is a total mess and all this government sees as an issue is climate change because apparently 8% is a wave and want to tax the feck out us more, when there is nothing more to give and send us into the biggest recession this country has ever seen.

When will this madness stop?

Well if you take one thing at a time. Take the gang wars and feuding families. Leaving aside the strung out junkies that we see on the street, if the so called middle class stopped snorting drugs it would reduce the demand for high end drugs. As for 'gang wars' we happen to live in one of the most peaceful countries on the planet. I don't have stats but I would hazard a guess that our police force have not fired one shot in anger so far this year. Compare that to the 'home of the brave and land of the free'

Hmmmm lets as a country make tough decisions instead of talking and then a compromise that doesn’t even work.

"Tough decisions" always seems to translate as taking yet more of my money and finding ever more inventive ways of giving it to Denis O'Brien. If the law that's there was enforced solidly and consistently it would make a tremendous start.

During the heroin epidemic of the 80's the Garda wrote areas off as 'no go', didn't patrol them and left it to vigilante groups to solve problems. And we wonder why most of these areas have low voter turn out. They aren't interested in a political dynasty that treats them like a problem.
If the gangs were operating around D4 or Dalkey the army would be brought in. Ironically It's all the RTE coke heads funding these suburban shootings.

They changed their mind about banning smokey coal this year because coal companies said they had to ban peat and turf too. Our domestic emissions are shockingly high

They defy EU directives to preserve bogs. Meanwhile Bord na Mona have the ballsiest marketing department ever who present them as environmentalists.

They increased the size of the national herd when it obviously increases our emissions. There is insufficient incentive for animal farms to convert to forest even though we have far too few trees.

So basically their sudden environmentalist position is total bullish!t. The actions above are massively detrimental to the environment. Simple changes- don't burn smokey coal or turf - don't increase the amount of cow farming - don't destroy carbon sinks and natural habitats - these would be most effective and easiest to implement. Massive spending on retrofitting homes is bizarre in the context.

Is it difficult to work your agenda in to evey topic I often wonder that, its not just you use to be much more common on boards.

Ireland does very well on a lot of scores its not perfect by any means but we don't do too bad.

Their children are more than likely having to work all the hours god sends them just to get by, I've been thinking lately about how I can make a living down home if I need to take care of a parent(s).

Its all coke no heroin? and only the middle and upper class take coke there is no polydrug use?

Deccriminiling drugs, enforce the law, and use strickly evidence based interventions to support people as oppsed to the ideologically based intervitions.

The largest double standard (imo) is where thousands of farmers in the west are being told not to cut turf, because the land is a 'special area of conservation', yet the department for Communications, Environment & Climate Action are inviting applications for exploration and prospecting licenses at approx 60 different sites across Ireland.

The sites are found to hold large quantities of gold, zinc, and several sites have evidence of diamonds.

The point is the ones aghast at these areas and the drug crimes committed in them part fund it. RTE is rife with coke heads.

Are the licences for prospecting in bogs? The EU directive is specifically about conserving bogs.

Do the farmers own the bogs they cut turf from? If they own the bogs then it might be fair to buy the bogs from them.

The fundamental point is that the bogs should be protected, not exploited by individuals or companies or the state.
