A post critical of the goofy and partisan online behaviour by YFG, was met my a post from one of the B.O.Ts asking if the person had seen a picture of a young Enda Kenny (?). Someone posts one with no commentary and now there's some odd pearl clutching going on. I'll need this one explained to me.

Something something not a normal party.

We probably can’t afford the 2% to public sector workers either. It’s likely it’ll be taken back through taxes or levies in the next few years. However it has nothing to do with the minimum wage, and it’s nothing to do with politicians giving themselves a pay raise.

Unless you have evidence to the contrary, that appointee would have had to do that. Given her previous experience, she would have been a front-runner for any position. Throwing around allegations of cronyism without any knowledge of the process and procedure is just loose talk.
