    FG should chance going back to the people according to those poll results

    Yes but even with these poll results wouldn't they still need a coalition partner like FF anyway? :confused:

    Don't be silly...they'll factor into FF membership thinking, make no mistake. They'll also make FG membership cocky...loads to play out here yet.

    FG should just hope the greens or FF don't let this get over the line, go back to the polls and get in on their own or with the backing of indys or SD. This charade has gone on long enough now.


    FG go to the polls.....bring up Childrens hospital, broadband, HSE mess, housing etc and see how long the bump in poll last


    Another election and it will be back to exactly the same as now.

    Dont know where the money will come for this programme.

    Sinn fein are always ridiculed for the magic money tree. I see worse spoofery here just as we are about to enter a recession.

    As alluded to above even if FG won 60-65 seats in an election, they’d need a partner and its hard to see who would go, Greens maybe again but that isn’t a stable government

    If greens flake out it’ll still be a FG FF minority and some indos support

    after covid the national broadband plan will sail through unopposed. Anyone voting green should really support it as its probably our best tool for cutting Road transport emissions.

    It was still a disaster, the fact Eir came out after the deal to say they could do for 1 billion instead of 3...also the reason all the supplier dropped out was because FG handed all the good sites to Eir, all that will come back up.....

    except they couldn't do the national broadband plan as described for 1 billion. just their version of it.

    Good old Pearse - practicing what he'll be doing for the next five years in the Dáil.

    Yes, Thomas had to lie through his teeth at the end to try and land a punch. Gas. :)

    You’ve never seen someone ripped to shreds before hve you?

    This was just more example of why SF aren’t in government. Lots of bluster and attacks, no actual substance.

    Ahh but your average Joe soap doesn't give a sh*t about the detail.


    Look at the SF supporters on here, pages and pages about how great they are. Then you ask them about the election manifesto and they never even read it. That's the Irish voter :P

    By anyone's standards that was cringe for Thomas...even Matt was enjoying his discomfort.

    And, in much the same way as Pearse - albeit for a lot less money - poor auld Francie will be ranting and blathering pointlessly away on Boards.ie for the next five years too! An appalling vista! :(

    I'm strongly considering putting him on 'ignore' for the next 5 years, as he's highly unlikely to write anything intelligent, instructive or interesting.

    The real program for government wont be decided until the government know the true extent of the economic crisis early next year.
    It's only then that the tough funding decisions will be made. I expect the next budget to be a soft one but after 30bn of borrowing in 2020, all bets will be off in 2021.

    I am just delighted that FF and FG are in coalition and we can put an end to the civil war politics nonsense.

    Honestly. They hear shouting, but they don't actually listen to what is being said.

    A complete and utter spoofer - as well as being so congenitally stupid that he thought he was a civil engineer until it was gently pointed out to him that he hadn't finished the course!

    We know this country is too full of those who think they should be let run the country unhindered and that opposition is a waste of time (unless it is them gamboling off into it like spring lambs to 'enjoy' it :))

    Ignore away, you clearly aren't able for debate.
