    Is the children's hospital really going to be the most expensive in the world?!?

    It’s a fair point though. Why does she believe that the ROI should have a lower pension age than the north?

    yeah, they keep sniping at each other about their woeful spending records and then 3/4 of them want me to give whoever wins more money. Just give me my F*cking tax cut.

    Or will the concept of the IRA hurt them?

    I don't know how people could be critical of a new hospital.

    Surely more hospitals are only a good thing, irregardless of the price.

    Far bigger waste of money in infrastructure elsewhere.

    No, and now he's namedropping companies that would be gone by 9am if anyone did what he wanted them to do.

    Rich Boy is doing quite well; pity for him that all the other S/PBP/RISE reps are lunatics.

    I want a tax cut.

    How about tackle the jobseekers bill ?. It's ridiculous that people can be seeking a job for decades and have no penalties

    Somehow, considering he cycles in Dublin it’s an impressive feat.

    Well don’t ask them build another hospital giving the contract to BAM

    Bad add that overspend is, at least we'll have a children's hospital at the end of it.

    Bertie and FF fluted about for how many years trying to get it built in his constituency... Left us with nothing but millions in consultant bills.

    FF's record on health is deplorable. It involves giveaways for staff and not much else.

    That's the height of it.
    If the tax was being well used ok...no problem, but it is being wasted left right and centre

    Pension is far too generous, it should be nearer the UK amount.

    Along with the ten pound Christmas bonus rate. Not nearly the two hundred pounds like this farce of a country. We have appalling health, infrastructure, massive debt ! But hey , we are the envy of the world with our outrageous welfare system !
