    The election was 6 weeks ago,its surely still on their website (under forum charter,im under no obligation to.provide links,its easily found anyway)??......tbh my sister works in private hospiteal,and it was consultants there,said it would make a massive difference if implemented,one of whom was interviewed on newstalk aswel.....


    So in other words you don't have any link? that was fairly pointless.....


    I know a lad down the pub who was interviewed once on Newstalk, never realized that meant he is now an expert

    Its almost trumpian level of arrogence to dismiss consultants experience and proclaim.them non-expert and equate them to a lad down the pub,....but sure lookit,your entitled to your view i guess

    I see you are taking a leaf from Yurts book and focusing on the smilies. Fair play.

    Your ilk seem to like attacking in clusters and random posters not the point being made.
    Do you have anything to actually say?
    It’s rather telling so many of you seem to have the same style of posting.

    Please quote me once saying "De Shinners" or anything or the sort?


    Also you have an issue with your keyboard, the caps lock key is broken. Just an FYI

    Read back the thread, you are positively being triggered.

    again, the numbers simply arent there for a sf lead government, and ffg will do everything in their power to prevent that, hence why we re more than likely gonna have a ffg lead government, possibly indefinitely

    I agree the numbers aren't there.

    Why did we have two weeks post election full of SF telling everyone they were looking at forming a government for change?

    It was obvious the day afterwards it was into the opposition for them

    errr emm maybe because they got almost the same amount of votes as both ffg, and had a slim chance of forming a government, i dunno, just an idea. they might never get their chance in government

    I genuinely think the only way back to normality is an equally weighted, respectful of all points of view, national government.

    It will fill many with dread if it is to be a FG or FF led government that will once again decide who is to pay most to get out of it.

    And so are you. Disappearing when any one asks you to back up a claim.

    For example you made a hullabaloo about FG and FF wanting a ‘strong and stable’ coalition a few days ago. When I posted the following quote from Mary Lou you disappeared:
    Mary Lou wrote:
    I want to see a good, stable, strong government that can deliver on housing, on health, can deliver on the issues that matter to people. But if there is an election, I mean we’ll go and we’ll fight the election

    Care to comment now?

    Or will you do another of your ‘runaways’?

    Except i havnt suggested anything close to this,infact government usually critises SF for.their points before going to their expert medical commite and more or less doing them.a few days later

    (hint:SF has a massive healthcare membership and advisors on the payroll,hence why their health policy document for the election was so highly regarded

    A simple question and it all came falling down!!!

    Hint: best to have something to back up statement like the above, normally someone will ask for some more details. A family member and a person you don’t know who done an interview are not sources

    Who will it fill with dread? In reality the last FG government hardly left the place in a huge mess.

    Yes they made f**k up, children’s hospital was the one that blew any respect I had for Leo , and the broadband.

    FG or a FF led government will pee off a few people but hardly full with dread....

    I think you will find more people dread the mess that will happen if SF came into power....personally I don’t dread Sf going into power. But I think you will find a lot of people in Ireland do, especially older people. My parents, I would say best description is dread if SF came into power.

    So the word is right but used for the wrong parties.

    ....quite why your upset by me obeying the forum rules is somewhat beyond me....i havnt asked yous for.any links.

    All my posts have been entirely factual,now this may upset your worldview ,but such is life,everyone is entitled to their view....even if this places eamonn ryan.as a.mental health expert in their eyes

    Upset? Why would I be upset? All I did was ask you a clarification question

    You should have used triggered, that’s seem to be the “Word of the day”, yesterday it was “Finbot”,

    Who knows what it will be tomorrow :-) I’m quite excited to see

    They made such a mess of the country between them that their vote share fell to an all time low.

    'Fill with dread' may be a cliched phrase, but many who feel they were made to pay for FF's turn at devastating the country, will not relish the thought of another unbalanced round of austerity to pay for something that agian was not their fault.

    That's the realpolitik of it.

    We all paid for what happened in the crash, so I wouldn’t say many but everyone

    I do ask the question, would it have been any different with any other party? All the other parties during that time jumped on bandwagon, I don’t remember any party telling everyone to stop buying houses? Or saying it would all come crashing down

    Now you may find a link to some random person but no one was on the news/papers day in day out saying this would crash and burn

    I would lay mor blame at central bank who went to sleep at the wheel for years.

    Also we as a people need to take some blame, people buying 500k houses and on tiny wages to “get a foot on ladder” was crazy. If anything the same would be going on now if it wasn’t such a big crash before, I actually sit with people complaining because they can’t get 100% mortgages anymore

    That’s no political party, that’s just stupid people

    I havnt called you finbot ever,thats a really mean thing to do

    Your posting style though seems a cross between upset and deranged,now you may not be either of these (i hope not),

    But perhaps you should examine your posting style as your not coming across atal well....

    Example....equating consultants to lads down the pub,isnt the posting style of a rational person or lends itself to healthy discussion.....followin people around demanding links is straight up weird (sorry!),esp since noone is under obligation to do so

    Fine Gael have that covered. That's why you had chancers like Verona Murphy joining them, they kicked her out when she opened her big gob, but that was the home for the likes of her traditionally. Varadker wouldn't have her in the fold but if FG were lead by someone like Alan Shatter or Charlie Tanaghan she'd still be in the party and be told to just not say it again but the cat would be out of the bag and she'd get the racist vote.

    FG aren’t on the right

    Once your happy,thats ok i guess....though you may struggle for positive engagement with posters of differing view and this will detract from your experience surely?

    You are avoiding facing up to the realpolitik of it all.

    It's water under the bridge now, what happened or who paid for it.

    Will the electorate tolerate another round of austerity if it is delivered by either of the power swap party's?

    I don't think it will. So while FG may get a wee bounce, harder times are coming, and they may wish somebody else had been in government during this.

    You’re just proving my original point.

    Anyone that uses the phrase ‘strong and stable’ is getting nowhere near government.
    It’s an easy throwaway phrase but Bizarre blindness to not realize it will forever be the gallows Theresa May hung from. And one of her own making.


    It’s laughable and quite telling you went all the way back to find that by the way. Is it an hourly rate you’re on??

    By power swap party I assume you mean FF or FG? If so, what is the alternative? Vote for an idiot like Pearse Doherty? Not very appealing either given his track record.

    In fairness Pearse Doherty is a decent politician. You must be a FF/fg supporter? Maybe call UP the Ra man a idiot.

    No I'm a FG voter as I see them as the best of a bad lot for now.

    Pearse is good for a soundbite, not much else. I call him an idiot as he wanted to decimate the tax base and reduce the pension age only a few weeks ago- admittedly different economic conditions but stupid nonetheless.

    Go back further and look at the nonsense he was spouting at the time of the bailout.

    Quick google says "kill, destroy, or remove a large proportion of". I would have taken it as meaning "removing a large proportion of". If there's a more appropriate word then apologies.

    What's Pearse's track record?

    What was Paschal's before he got the gig, or Michael Noonan's etc?

    I'm talking about his track record of stupid proposals- I gave a few examples above.

    From what I recall you're not too fond of their policies either?
