Anything but this government, its polices, shanenigans and incompetence, its seems 😉
Good man Darragh
Rather than calling them idiots maybe the message is lost from government?
Jesus, could you imagine?
While I've no doubt the figures quoted by the caller are wrong (and Joe Duffy needs no invitation to sensationalise) when I say I refuse to vote for any party that's been in government for the past 25 years one of the black marks beside both FG & Labour is "I don't vote for parties that steal from my pension". It's not top of the list but it's there alright
😂😂😂
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.
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. 😳
Paul murphy cutting swades through the governments sh1te
O Dear 😏
From Gavin Reilly, How time flies 😁
I also see Paddy Cosgrave busy as ever on Twitter .
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? 😂
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 😏
Im not a government spokesman, but the guy on liveline was a idiot alright. Didnt know his arse from his elbow.
Something from 10-8 years ago?
Well, if one has to go back that far fishing for content, it says a lot. :D
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 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
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”.
Quite a reaction? From who? One caller on liveline?
ROFL if you believe that.
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.
Of course... ;)
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
Late Debate discussing HAP, Planning permission given to private investment fund .
They absolutely do not care. They can't be this incompetent.
Hopefully we get to the bottom of the planning cronies.
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 .
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.
Ah sure won't do any harm so. Forgot there is a time limit on the wrongs of the power swap, silly me.
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 -
Never knew there would be so many conservatives and UKIP minded people on this thread. :)
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.
