You do not know the difference between Central Government and Local Government You cannot tell the difference between SDCC and DCC You deny that SF had a pact with other parties giving them control in DCC from 2014-2019 You deny that FG is not in power in DCC at present. When asked for explicit evidence to your points, you run away with some airy-fairy ad-hominem thrown out there. You fail to answer basic questions.As Eamon Dunphy has said many a time about football players, "Ya got found out tonight!"

The idea that the FG government bears no responsibility for government policy on housing was bad and not to mention the hands off when it suits Eoghan Murphy the scarlet pimpernel of Housing, Planning and local authorities I'll leave it there. Embarrassing yourselves.

Bowie seems to be completely unaware of the practice of coalitions at local level controlling councils. It is quite surprising.I have never seen anything like it before on here.

On the other hand, if it's about the completely stupid economic policies proposed by spoofers like Pearse Doherty and Mary Lou, then it could make a difference. They make spending 4 billion on a hospital seem like a great idea.

Do you have a view on that type of corruption?

FrancieBrady wrote: » So basically you were asking for comment on something that as yet we do not know even happened. Ever suspect that was why Eoghan set up the 'investigation' in the first place? I mean you were the same poster who said we 'would hear a lot more' about abuse allegations against SF the Gardai were allegedly investigating. . Regina Doherty the FG spinner at the time was full of the same sensationalist stuff too. So far, years after..nothing. I couldn't help thinking of you and your 'allegation is enough' ethos when Sil Fox was on the airwaves in the last few days. Had we adopted your stance, 'the allegation must be believed', Sill, would be rotting in jail. Ever think you were being played for a patsy?
