FF/FG/Green Government - Part 3

That old chestnut only opposition opposing developments when you know full well Councillors of all persuasion and government departments actually objecting to certain developments.

There are numerous ways they can be mitigated. That's what Pippa was being told when she pulled the Putin rant.

Now your being Ludicrous, we're have I once showed even the slightest inkling of support for that Thug Putin , my views on Government policies regarding Ukrainian refugees is no secret as is my disgust on how other refugees are being treated and indeed our own citizens in emergency accommodation.

You ludicrously tried to drag the €2k dinner into the thread dealing with this matter, this is my last word on that crisis here , there's a Thread dedicated to it and NO, I do not apportion any blame on Ukrainian refugees, the mess here is entirely of this government's doing.

I said that they are not "trying to make things worse". But to be perfectly honest, is it actually possible to get worse? I mean it probably is, and left to their own devices FFG would likely prove that, but let's not put it to the test.

It is perfectly acceptable for the opposition to have decided that they have had enough of the special deals being struck and the higher prices being passed on to the government for the social housing. For example (at random), the U.S. company Glenveagh buying up land for €11m (worth a lot more) and then building some social homes and not returning the favour, by charging high/premium prices for those.

As mentioned, the current government have had plenty of time to fix the housing crisis, and have done nothing, They are far more interested in striking deals with foreign investors, and for some reason unbeknownst to us yet, there is nothing stopping foreign consortiums swooping in and buying up the lot when they feel like it. That is fixing nothing. I won't look up each case objected to, as they will have each been objected for their own reasons, but if things are getting too difficult for any of the parties in government, they know what to do.

BTW, opposing wasteful spending or undervaluing land being sold off, isn't making things worse.

You seem obsessed about using the term 'virtue signalling', but ask the 35,000 Ukrainians living here if the government is engaging in virtue signalling? I guess they would prefer to be fodder for Putin's Army.

We know your record on this topic, regarding immigrants and refugees. Gaslight and Dog Whistle away.

Well, Francie ignored the question of course, which means he as no solution other than shouting and roaring about 'da Guberment'

Well, Ireland features at number 2, or is that number 3 in the world under the UN HDI. That measures wellness in a way.

There are many suggestions from across the house on how the government can mitigate the crisis facing some in this country. You can deny that all you wish.

yes, more money is the solution to non monetary induced inflation!

are you sure you know what you re talking about!

No Mark, I didn't think we needed to invest to a NATO level airforce. That isn't required as we do not face a credible threat from the air from anybody. Maybe we do in the mind of fantascists.

I do agree with investment to monitor the skys to protect civilian aircraft from the geopolitical gameplaying that happens up there and to secure our coasts from criminal activity.

*I note the subtle(not) attempt to change what was said about inflation to 'curbing it'.

Future misrepresentation incoming no doubt.

Well, Lowry has just been looked after and Cathal Berry is next.

Yawn, the blocking houses myth has been comprehensively fact checked and was found to be misleading, yet you persist.
