    I'm waiting for that Enda Kenny quote about not taxing people's houses.

    While I get the sentiment, it was made about twenty years before that tax. Are people not allowed to change their opinions over such a span of time? Must we be the same people forever?

    From the Irish Times:
    Taoiseach Enda Kenny has announced formal recognition for Travellers as a distinct ethnic group within the State.

    In a statement to the Dáil on Wednesday night, Mr Kenny said: "It is a historic day for our Travellers and a proud day for Ireland."

    "Drain the swamp!"

    Which was fully bought into by the supporters of what came to be possibly the most corrupt presidency a modern western nation has ever seen. :pac:

    "Peace for our time" was a declaration made by the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Neville Chamberlain in his 30 September 1938 speech concerning the Munich Agreement and the Anglo-German Declaration.

    How did that pan out? Not too well. World War II kicked off.

    Enda was always good for an oul quote.



    Michael Collins "brought Vladimir Lenin himself to Ireland to see how the National Loan worked"

    The Government, having listened very carefully to people, set a charge of €1.15 per week or €3. The man who stopped me with the two pints in his hand last week shouting about the cost of water that he could not pay.
