I had already read this: https://mcusercontent.com/ffc5ff2fa2294c89d2ff7598e/files/f6d62057-8f7e-086e-7b50-6a746077a2dc/For_a_Health_Service_that_Works_Alternative_Budget_for_Health.pdf
But for the crack I listened to this.
He doesn't even know what a modular unit it. The entire interview was a pop at the government with no information on what SF would do, even the presenter was pi**ed off after a while with him because every question was answered with "something something government something something"
So as I said consultants would get additional tax, he couldn't even answer about the tax. Didn't know what a consultant earns and threw the ball to Pearse
Couldn't answer about the GP. Going to suddenly just put extra spaces in college I think was the answer? what the hell?
It's like a lot of Sinn Fein proposals, ask a few questions and it all comes crumbling down. Look anyone can make up a alternative which they know will never work or never get implemented. The fact he couldn't even answer the basic questions confirms SF have learned nothing since the general election manifesto. Any number or question was thrown over the wall for someone else to answer. If he doesn't know even the basic why does he do interview
The above is the problem I find with SF and it reminds me of US politics. When you are in US you will see a political broadcast and it has nothing to do with what the person can change just about how terrible his/her opposition are
Similar to SF, they just want to fire mud at teh government, once they have to actually discuss their own strategy/plans it falls to pieces like the interview above. It’s point in every direction and waffle
Now maybe some people like that, I don’t and it just confirms they haven’t a clue how to fix anything.
The hardworking honest dude, paying their full taxes ,will be screwed to the floor if SF get power.
We will have folk busting their buns to better themselves and being upwardly mobile, whilst the chancers and
slippery lads lie back and feed off their efforts.
Be afraid folk, be very afraid.
You're welcome by the way. Do you see the irony in your comment here and your ill-informed paranoid rants? Its not 'us and them' for everyone.
People are worried SF will behave like FF/FG and do as bad a job with health and housing :)
Health is broken. Its being proped up by throwing money down a big dark hole. Time to try fix it.
A bit rich when everything out of MM and Varadakar's gob is, 'but,but,but SF.....
Agreed. This kicked off because of a photo of WT Cosgrave giving the nazi salute at a fascist rally. It spilled over to here because, as you say, some people try to ignore or deflect.
Thank you for proving me right
Au contraire Dud. Chicken & Egg comes to mind and in this case Varadakar just can't help himself.
And I brought it back to SF (on topic) by pointing out a) It was an Italian fascist salute (not quite as sexy as labelling it Nazi) and b) That it was actually SF/IRA who were 'in bed' with the Nazis, not FG.
In fairness the Shinners would've supported any one who was lobbing bombs at the Brits. England's troubles being Ireland's opportunity and all that jazz.
And presumably they imagined life would be bliss in a united Jew-free Ireland.
The answer to every question from SF or supporters is something about the opposition. Shows they have no actual plan or supporters are not confident they have either. Instead of discussing how good the HSE plan is you decided to fired something back about FG.
It is very concerning when a guy says he has the plan to fix the HSE but doesn't understand what a modular build is. When asked about the cost of a hospital bed responded about FG. When asked about consultants had no idea how much they earn, how they would be paid and how a extra tax on them would not end up with losing consultants instead of hiring them.
Then came out with some line about people wanting to pay more tax. He got half a story here, people said they didn't want a tax cut but instead better services. They didn't say they are willing to pay more tax.
He kept saying he has talked to XYZ yet doesnt seem to have bothered having any conversations with consultants or GP for that matter.
As he is health he has to be one of the better SF TD's, if this is all they can get for health then what is coming behind him for the other departments.
My core point is that Mairia Cahill has apologised and disowned her support of paramilitary organisations, Mary-Lou hasn't.
That means, that as of today, Mary-Lou McDonald has closer links to paramilitary organisations than Mairia Cahill. That is a fact.
You can counter with the fact that over their lifetimes, Mairia has had more, primarily because of the family she was born into. That Mairia has left that evil past behind while Mary-Lou has embraded it, despite no familial links, says an awful lot more.
I have answered that question many many times before and set out the reasons clearly for my answer.
Nah, it was a post of WT Cosgrave giving the nazi salute at a blueshirt rally and you brought in MLMD. Now you raised it in here too. No problem with your angle just don't try pretend it came from anywhere else.
He gave a fascist salute at a fascist rally. You raised SF to deflect.
The Irish state including SF made moves to partner up or support the nazis. True enough. The people who became FG were fascists. They don't cancel each other out im afraid.
More evidence? You've none :)
I see there's concerns over moderna. Antivaxxers the lot :)
Who is this man to SF and were is the link to what you claim? All I see is an unrelated story from last year.
As I said previously, I fully respect Máiría Cahill's move away from paramilitarism.....but if we do a lifetime analysis, Mary Lou has been a hurler on the ditch and had a few rants.....Máiría has actively been involved with paramilitarism. Your usual SF hatred completely blinds you to the actual real life impact factor.
If I hypothetically set a bomb and deeply regretted it, I'd still have more responsibility for paramilitarism than some idiot unrepentantly chanting Up The Ra in a pub....simple really.
Ultimately this entire conversation came about because you expressed a great deal of indignance at the idea that Máiría Cahill had a deeper connection to paramilitarism than Mary-Lou. I'm glad you've finally acknowledged that it was a completely nonsensical objection and we both agree that she obviously does.
So David Cullinan’s radical plan is to copy what Simon Harris did?
Genius.
David Cullinan, the Simon Harris tribute act.
Nah. He's using the same brand of 'prefab' as you called it though. They're fine now I imagine right? :)
He gave figures for beds and knew he was talking about pre modular builds. Sarah kept saying prefab.
Well at least you listened before making up stuff. Every little bit helps.
I think you should listen again, numerous times she asked about modular and he stumbled around and couldn't answer. Yes she said prefab but he couldn't even answer that.
I noticed you didn't comment on the rest
As I said, I never made stuff up, he has published this all over twitter etc and I read the report.
He answered everything. He even corrected her and said its already in use.
Never commented on the rest? No i didn't paraphrase the entire interview no. You got me good by listening to the link I supplied for you. Hoisted by my own petard. Caught hands down I am. Fair cop guv :)
Anyway, I'm not looking to win you over.The type he's taking about looks pretty good to me. I posted a link under the Harris one.
He really, hilariously, struggled to avoid using the 'P' word. (And no, not 'provisional' on this occasion)
David Cullinan, the 'Prefab Cabbage'
It's the R word SF usually struggle with.
Between the “wE won the election” and now “ we are the most popular” it’s really funny
Small problem, what happens come election when everyone spends a huge amount of time pulling apart all the SF plans and proposals?
You think the old wheels might come off then?
How does it look good? Please explaiN because maybe I missed something
Still hurts eh?
