The picture Shatter painted right up to and including his comments on 'swingate' depict a party full of politicians concerned more about image than getting a credible job done.
Varadkar appears to be a toxic influence as the ringleader of this.

The auld knee must be giving you gyp,Francie.

After the walloping your bhoys got I didn’t expect to see you around for a while.

Very gloomy around the Square, I hear.

John and the Mrs. always remind me of the Modern Parents from Viz magazine.
They've managed to raise at least two morons completely lacking in self awareness.

I could just about forgive them for Jonathan (RIP) because he did have a certain bohemian charm about him that was tolerable in small doses back in pre internet Ireland.

This Abie lad... Total man child.

Case in point (I'm bringing you all down with me)

Fcukin thing is like an Oliver Callan parody of southsider comedy.

I'm adding you to my ignore list after that.

I got just over 3 minutes and had to close it down. I feel sorry for the 19 people that appear to have shown up to that recording.

This is what comes of too much positive reinforcement

I’d say he was told to toughen up and develop a bit more ‘edge’.

I think he is doing quite well. Not afraid to ask the hard questions.

I'm not sure this guy is getting in to the spirit of the Presidential visit thing :-)

You may as well have got a United fan to report on the Champions League final win for Liverpool.

Johno Brennan is not happy. Serious tantrum.

Funny how Brennan does not like Trump.

What's European enlargement got to do with Trump?

Him being a supporter of BREXIT and all that.

Bit tenuous, no? I think there's a stronger reason as to why Trump might not favour European enlargement, and it involves him assuming lordosis behaviour, although to expand on that would be a bit too graphic.

I've always had a problem with professors from Universities giving their "objective" opinions on such matters. I mean they got to their positions by conforming not by being radicals thinkers or going against the grain.

Is she related to that comic lad Josh Widdicombe who's on CH4 all the time? Hardly as he seems sound enough mostly.

No relation.

That Shinner dude Gavin had his hoop handed to him big time on SOR today.

Regina took him apart trying to peddle an unworkable bill.

Louis Theroux once did a very interesting documentary with her. It is on YouTube. Real Norman Bates stuff. Her mother is in the house, but must not be seen or spoken to. Eventually Louis gets to speak to her, and Anne has a conniption.

Strange lady.

You always know they are on the backfoot when the roll out the old "I didn't interrrupt you" line ... SF really should know that line is well beyond it's sell by date at this stage.

If Louis got talking to the dead mother it would cause a hoolala .

Overplayed that card for sure.

This ‘tipping’ and ‘service charge’ area is very murky.

I hope that the tipping culture will never get a foothold in this country
over and above the small areas it is relevant in.

Greatest load of bollox ever invented,in my opinion.

Agree with you completly, it's a real throwback to the "grace & favour" days.
People should be paid properly for the job they do ... I mean, you wouldn't go to tip the doctor would you?

Is there fierce money in tips these days that legislation is needed?

I spent a few years working in bars & hotels back in college, if ya had a tenner in tips at the end of the night it was a great night.

Most nights there was nothing though

We have a small cafe in the midlands. 10 euro for a full (7-8 hour) shift would be a bad day. 50 would be a very good day. That's for tips shared between kitchen and waitresses. No service charge. It isn't taxed on our side, and presumably they're not declaring it.

I reckon people earn more in Dublin restaurants, but everything depends on the price structure, number of staff and any service charge.
