    Will Dara Calleary resign tonight, or will he string it on until tomorrow evening and be forced out ? It's his choice.

    Will everyone in SF resign after attending the funeral in the North? Which was a far worse breech of the regulations

    FF took over in the middle of the biggest disaster to hit the World and they are in 6 weeks?

    So a country which is billions in debt and churning more millions by the hour you want another election to vote in the people that 6 months ago didn’t get voted in? All while costing the country millions....

    What happens when next government comes in and still make mistake? Another election after 6 weeks?

    Seriously Trump has made how many f**k up a lot worse than a golf party and even the crazy Americans didn’t want an election after 6 weeks....it baffles me that people say they want to discuss politics and the next request is an election every 5 minutes

    Is every other country in Europe running to an election now? Might give you a hint on what the answer might be

    You’re just rambling now to be fair.

    On taking over in the biggest disaster to hit the world? It has only shown up how utterly incompetent they are.

    They can’t even get a message out to public properly

    You only 'win' an election if you can form a government on your own Shef, that is the prize and nobody won it this time. FG/FF/Greens won the negotiating round and formed a government. The electorate got no say in that.

    You spent weeks on here telling everyone SF “won”

    So another new version from Frsncie, changing like the wind again

    I'd say it will be like Cowen, but maybe a bit quicker.

    There is no way out of this.

    You rabbiting on about trump & people always calling for elections.

    The last election was fairly inconclusive & the resultant Gov has been a shambles.

    The ‘leadership’ of FF is only making a crisis situation even worse & I would say that very few have any faith in them now.

    Do you think they are doing a good or a bad job?

    Simples answer please

    I never said SF won Shef, they won the most votes though.

    It has to be quick because ordinary people can only take so much **** and their **** quota has been already used up.

    All they had to do was to stick to the reopening plan that was given to them. But then they pissed themselves after about 30 cases and ceeded supreme control to NPHET. The reopening then became a mess by trying to placate certain lobby groups and making an absolute hames of the plan.

    Martin then went to Europe for a bail out and ended up us owing them 16bn.

    Whatever is happening has to stop now. We need somebody to lead that isn't a eunuch.

    I would take Varadkar, I would take somebody else from FF, I would take MLD, I would even take Richard Boyd Barrett FFS. Somebody needs to lead. Somebody with remotely some coherence and leadership ability.

    It is inevitable that this FF+FG government will be the worst performing government in modern times. This Clifden party could bring them down.

    I know there is a virus, but these guys are just plain stupid.

    If Calleary resigns straight away, like Michael Cawley, he might hang on to his local vote. If he strings it out, he will not get a ministerial position for a long time. He will be "damaged goods".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,004 ✭✭✭Bishop of hope


    FF are floundering in the sense of their own importance.
    Calleary is in an untenable position now, after replacing buffoon Cowen he is now bufooned himself.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 544 ✭✭✭Hawthorn Tree


    It's obvious M Martin knew full well that Dara would be going to an event to honour the late Mark Killilea.

    I cant wait for someone to ask him though.

    Same for Leo and Hogan.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,004 ✭✭✭Bishop of hope


    Oh for a few of Leo's quotes now, clarity needed big time lads, it's not been evident since powersharing south of the border commenced.
    And we make little of the northern situation, we seem to be up **** creek Down here now too.

    Tomorrow will be fun!

    Tomorrow will be fun!

    A solid Morning Ireland to start the day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,365 ✭✭✭✭McMurphy


    If took five months to form this Coalition of seasoned and experienced politician's to show us how to play senior hurling lads - just saying.

    Is it true Charlie Flanagan was there too, but was actually tricked into believing it was a black and tan commemoration he was going to?

    If the Greens had any political noise, they would pull the plug on government. It might save them when they go back to the people


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 544 ✭✭✭Hawthorn Tree


    I am hearing Hogan came from UK for the party

    Ordinary Green Party members do not support this government.
    It's all the old members who want to regain that feeling of self importance ... they want to be back with that feeling of power again. Dan Boyle "hasn't gone away, you know" to re-phrase that saying.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,933 ✭✭✭smurgen


    To top all this off. Phil Hogan won a prize by all accounts lol.

    This would have the potential to collapse a good government never mind the shambles these 3 parties have been as a government so far.

    Matt Cooper's post. Multiple resignations / sackings. People like me hearing about my mother dying in Co. Kildare. Not allowed to stop in Kildare, let alone go to the nursing home. What arrogant people they all are.
    Shame on them all.
    I am looking forward to all the sackings tomorrow. Clean out the dirt.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 838 ✭✭✭The_Brood


    As disgusting as all this is, it is hardly surprising. Just what kind of people decided to vote for these folks to govern us? It's really not a matter of what other options there are. How do you sleep at night knowing you voted for this absolute shower of mockery?

    I admit, I voted for this filth. Never again.
    But I will never vote for Sinn Fein filth either that blew men to bits in their driveways with his wife and kids witnessing that.
    I will now vote for common sense candidates. There are 1 or 2 in my constituancy.

    The yellow vest movement in Ireland has been hijacked by the irish freedom party. No thanks.
