    I think the fact the €20,000 figure is getting thrown about,L annoys people, the magic money tree which only gets brought up when SF want to spend cash is well and truely available.

    Do you know how much it costs the government to take out a full page ad in a national newspaper with Cvoid-19 safety measure printed on it?
    If you did, you wouldn't be complaining about €20,000.

    If you are complaining about this €20,000 are you also going to complain about ad's in the Irish Times or aired on RTE?
    Do you think the government should even be communicating these measure to people at all?
    Surely 1 of the endless advisors can come up with messages to let the kids know to follow the rules.

    Say they did. What 'free' medium do you think they can get that message across? Be honest now, as I do not think you have a clue.

    That obviously passed over your head.

    Not always, it also gets brought up when they come up with mind numbingly stupid proposals such as reducing the pension age when we have a pension time bomb.

    Unfortunately for tax payers, our supposed right wing party FG are well capable of spunking away billions too.

    Laughing at people relying on Twitter not even noticing the first response was what I was about, you missed that.

    And the poster who fulminates about people using tweets used a tweet to do that.

    Hypocrisy...low level hypocrisy but hypocrisy just the same.

    Anyone can "contradict" anything on twitter blanch, they're called threads (same as here) it's a flow of discussion.

    If you don't understand how it works you'd be best off leaving it and stop embarrassing yourself.

    Really? What did I ignore ?

    You said you said you heard MLMD talk a "few days ago" about something fg were contemplating.

    Was it a few days before or after, and would you have a link to the podcast?

    Nothing to say about Leo getting his disgraced mate Breege O'Donoghue a new public job, after she was forced to resign from a previous role for going abroad not once but twice.

    I can't keep a running commentary going on every micro action Leo takes. Saw O'Broin on the telly last night making an ass of himself but made no comment on that either. Seems like you have nothing to say about Breege O'Donoghue either - bar complaining that I didn't immediately attack her - or Leo or whatever

    And your point is???

    Leo says he would like to try to get pubs open at at private meeting subject to various things. Poor Mary Lou is shrieking to keep pubs open from the top of some red top rag only purchased by her support base. She was probably under pressure from Dessie Ellis anxious for a sing song with his gang.

    The links are not even to the headline I was referring to

    Still stupid, irresponsible cheap effort at a bit of populist self interest at the expense of morons. She should link up with Gemma

    My "point" is you made a post, I corrected you, you came back - double downed on it - "couldn't be arsed" to find a link to back up your claim.

    I provided you with sources to back up what I was saying (I can even link to the CB show McDonald was quoted from)

    You come back now with "what's your point" and "that's not the headline i was talking about"

    Toddle along and find the headline and we can discuss it, because otherwise it just looks like you got called out on hoop talking.

    What? There was no implied ownership.

    Where is the possessive adjective in "some red top rag"?

    Seriously, I used to think you were deliberately twisting people's words, now I am wondering if it is some comprehension issue.

    What Truth meant to say was 'Some journalist portrayed Mary Lou as shrieking on the top of the red top he/she writes for' instead Truth tried to portray Mary Lou as using the redtop to her own device to shriek.

    Subtly of it may have escaped you. But his/her's other line would have compounded the impression he/she was trying to give, that only Shinners buy these redtops.

    Yep almost 100% I believe Mary Lou issued her stupid and irresponsible statement in the hope it would get maximum publicity and was of course delighted to make the front page portrayed as " de hero of the wurkin' man and de only wan fightin' to keep de pubs open"

    Certainly. See page 57of this thread where someone posts a link to the front page of the daily Star for 18th September. If you copy and paste the picture attached to Leo's tweet you get the full impact of the sage advice from the lovely and wise Mary Lou.

    Cant get it to copy to here but would be grateful if someone more technically able than me could manage it

    Caught out again lads

    Mary Lou on the FF/FG/Green thread, Mary Lou on the FG thread

    Mary Lou has really got inside their heads since election. Leo hasnt been the same since, Mícheál Martin has tried to copy Leo's failed style of talk down on her all time and this boards has went off the wall crazy

    That is a real stretch to try and justify this comment. Not buying it, Francie, nice try and all that, but you've spun yourself in circles on this one. You have to spin Truthvader to try and make some sense of your comment.

    I won't be taking lectures on spin off somebody who tried to spin building a wall in the garden into a breach of the Covid Building Site regulations just to maintain a lie he was telling. :)

    Agree. Even if they earned every penny it is staggering stupidity to take it now as jobs are lost all over the place. Its not as if a single one of them will notice an extra 2K on top of what they already get.

    It is only cronyism if she is unsuitable or unable for the job and there were other better candidates.

    Every single public sector worker is getting it. Politicians can’t give themselves pay increases outside of public sector pay agreements. Over half of it will go back in tax to the state anyway.
