I care less about his back ground , more about his comments about MM silly speech, furthermore, if a person (me) disagrees with MM , Leo and Coveneys grand standing and virtue signalling, does that equate to me being a Supporter of the Vile UKIP or being Conservative 🙄, utter nonsense.
I'm proudly Liberal and sick to the teeth of MM making wild assumptions on the world stage on my behalf.
Maybe try googling the Swedish MEP and some of his previous statements RE immigration. I wouldn't count him criticising Ireland's immigration policies as the big win some of the usual rabble on here want it to be.
Previous gems from Weimers include:
Its the usual, insult people or tie them to an organisation or group if they are in any way critical of government.
First we have someone suggesting that we wait until SF get in and see what they do, now somebody deciding to query how many people on this thread may follow conservative or UKIP policies...
It's as though you are completely blind to any faults that our government has, even when somebody who has zero political interest or bias in Ireland points them out. 😅🙄
Bizzare comment, Conservative and UKIP minded people, what in heavens name makes you think that 😳
A Swedish MP calling out MM virtue signalling nonsense 🙄
What's actually more alarming is MM , Leo and Simon Coveney trying to out do each other on the world stage , oblivious to the state of affairs at home, Beggar's belief really.
Never knew there would be so many conservatives and UKIP minded people on this thread. :)
Yes, Sweden, as it says in the post, who have experience first hand as to what the possible outcome may be if ignored.
"Something something SF..." Really? That's your response?
FFS. The MEP is addressing the Taoiseach about the immigration issues right now, and the amnesty - The amnesty would be the more important part there to me. Then to be told that the amnesty isn't amnesty.. More to take into account but
But SF. Yep. It's them. Always is. 🙄 SF are encouraging illegals to make their way here.
Not amnesty -
Ah sure won't do any harm so. Forgot there is a time limit on the wrongs of the power swap, silly me.
Really good discussion on the Housing model, affordability were we are going etc , worth listening back to 😏
There was mention of a bill which was shot down by government, requiring disclosures re state land being used for development (I think) Katie Hannon asked FG rep, some obscure Senator about it, she'll get back to Katie. So not sure what that's about.
Fascinating Discussion re Current Building model, Housing etc and an excellent contribution from Alfonso Bonilla , Architect who really put things in perspective.
Worth a listen back too .
Hopefully we get to the bottom of the planning cronies.
They absolutely do not care. They can't be this incompetent.
Late Debate discussing HAP, Planning permission given to private investment fund .
Finally you've seen some sense despite all your assertions about lies, million euro pension pots and essentially belittling what I and others believed was a Truthful account of how the Levy has affected pensioner's, perhaps exasperated by the current cost of living affecting real people.
I should point out , I'm no fan generally of Joe Duffy , you can easily check my contributions on the Live Line Thread .
Any, enough said, Good Night
Of course... ;)
I think when the Host of one of the Top Radio shows in terms of ratings describes a Statement from a Senior Government Minister as Hillarious and dedicates so much time to a "None Story' effecting 1000's of potential voters people take notice 😏
Best line however had to be
"Rob Paul to Pay Paschal"
Indeed the Generous Salary of Ceann Comhairle got a mention as did pay restoration for Politicians.
Quite a reaction? From who? One caller on liveline?
ROFL if you believe that.
It just gets worse and worse and our shoddy government turn a blind eye.
INMO calls for immediate action to tackle spiralling hospital trolley figures - Independent.ie
INMO calls for immediate action to tackle spiralling hospital trolley figures
THE Irish Midwives and Nurses Organisation (INMO) said the same urgency applied to fixing queues at airports must be applied to the chronic hospital trolley crisis.
The body has called for the immediate convening of the HSE’s Emergency Department Taskforce in light of what it described as Wednesday’s “abnormal” trolley figures, which revealed that 546 people were waiting on a bed in hospitals across the country.
“The fact that we have 546 patients without a bed on the 8th of June is not normal,” said INMO general secretary Phil Ní Sheaghdha.
The organisation is also seeking a meeting with Health and Safety Authority over what it claims is the “lack of focus and attention to the legal requirement of the HSE and Voluntary hospitals to provide a healthy and safe workplace to workers.”
Ms Ní Sheaghdha said members of the public were being “constantly let down” on timely access to healthcare.
“Longer term implications of these inhumane wait times are reported on but ignored. Waiting for care in inappropriate locations causes patients to have much poorer outcomes, why are we still waiting for the plan to deal with this important issue”.
Something from 10 - 8 years ago coming home to roost and has exercised an important voting block. I didn't bring up this matter, pensioners did and my there's been quite the reaction, not helped by Paschal Donohoe's statement on the matter, he is after all current Minister for Finance.
What was it I was called, Sucker and that other comment about back firing 😏
Humble pie, best eaten cold, I believe
The figures are a million miles from being correct.
As I mentioned yesterday, the old man didn't even know that the pension levy was introduced in 2011 at a rate of 0.6% and then abolished in 2015 when the rate was 0.15%. He thought the levy was introduced in 2009 and was still ongoing!!?!?
Then he made up some number which equated to about 1,000 euro a year taken from him, which he then extrapolated to about 10 grand taken over all. HOW...?? Anyway.
If those numbers are true, this means the guy has a pension pot of well over 1 million euro, yet he cant afford to turn on the heat for a few hours in the evening?
What's he burning? 100 euro notes?
Most likely the numbers are well off, and judging by his incoherent ramblings on national radio I wouldn't trust a word he says.
Of course Joe being Joe peddles on the lies and myths. Same guy then started giving out about all the people on the dole who are getting more then him. It was at this point Joe started to get a bit angry...!
PS: Oh, almost forgot, he was back today giving it the same. This time he was talking as if his pension was paid into his pot AFTER he paid his income tax. Which of course is again... nonsense.
Something from 10-8 years ago?
Well, if one has to go back that far fishing for content, it says a lot. :D
Rather than calling them idiots maybe the message is lost from government?
Im not a government spokesman, but the guy on liveline was a idiot alright. Didnt know his arse from his elbow.
I'm not a big Twitter User myself, rarely post but follow some people , Basically he was commenting on MM speech to the EU and was struck by the fact (Irony) Frances Fitzgerald of FG fame and forced to resign after a motion of no confidence by MM and his party was first to speak /comment on MM speech, which I assume was a glowing endorsement 😏
What is he saying? I'm not on twitter, no idea what his name is on it. How come his tweets no longer seem to be posted here? Because the moany lot don't like them? 😂
From Gavin Reilly, How time flies 😁
I also see Paddy Cosgrave busy as ever on Twitter .
O Dear 😏
Paul murphy cutting swades through the governments sh1te
Swedish MEP Charlie Weimers offering some advice to MM, from something they are experiencing first hand.
Then we are told that Amnesty isn't Amnesty. 😳
Perhaps DAA manangent might now focus on ordinary punters now, seems they also spent vast sums on a fleet of luxury cars for their Premium service clientele.
😂😂😂
