Awkward BA
Give me time to comprehend 😁
As a pal recently said to me, "The government missed it because Paschal was too busy answering questions on European legislation in the frozen food aisle in his local Tescos." :)
Very strange pal.
😂😂😂😂, I dare not mention I'll check for some satirical updates 😁
On fire today so you are.
I blame global warming.
Sigh
It's a pity this is the rubbish the thread constantly gets dragged down to. Even when MM explained in a video it seems you don't understand the difference.
It is silly of me to think we don't have to explain everything in detail just in case someone might not understand and I hold my hand up to that
Poor old Pearse, a quick review of a thread on here about removing the cash in Kerry the reaction is mostly "who cares". Between this and turf burning sure Pearse will be telling us all soon that the internet should be banned. So much for "change" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Im sure a poll will come out soon and it might not be the win Pearse wants and the decision might change, thats what you get with "Flip flopping" all the time
As someone posted: "Wonder if Pearse also wants to bring back switchboard operators when people want to make a phone call. Tech changes like going cashless cannot be stopped unless he wants to turn the country into a technology backwater."
😂
Pearse probably does with to bring back switchboard operators, especially the ones who could listen in to the conversations of belligerent unionists and partitionists.
The AIB stunt is clearly a black eye for the government.
Nobody will believe that Paschal and Co were blindsided by this major policy change. Especially as we own 60+% of the shares.
The optics are not good this evening.
Ahh he doesn't know what he wants, he is flip flopping so much....better off just ignoring him and just watch the video of him trying to take off the mask again, f**king hilarious that was
Incorrect, no matter how you try to spin it on this thread
AIB don't have to answer to the government and this was clear from day 1 when Government bailed them out and MM confirmed in the video a few people are having issues understanding.
Apart from the usual crowd online everyone is well aware that AIB will do whatever they want without telling the government, BOI will do the exact same.
The surprise for some is that reading the thread a lot of people don't actually care. Personally I have no interest in a bank with branch office at all, if they can offer me a better rate then I take that first.....my current bank is all online and that will be the future. Covid pushed the removal of cash out of the market forward by probably 10 years
Plus if you don't think this is just AIB testing the water to see what the reaction is you are very naive. From what I can see the reaction from a lot of people is "so what"
We interrupt this ongoing whingefest to bring you the following news from the real world:
"In the first six months of this year, funding was approved for 5,210 homes in 86 developments in 20 counties, including in counties Kilkenny and Limerick for the first time.
Social housing projects accounted for 23pc of the new homes approved for funding."
Good to see houses being funded and built.
Excellent news and great to see at houses getting built....
Joespha with the flip flops.
Oh the "flip flopping" burned when they have wifipaddy on the case 🤣
This seems like another case of poor comprehension on the part of Paddy. First off Josepha never said "**** cash"
Also he doesn't seem to be able to comprehend that someone saying Apple Pay is good and that some people still need cash is a different scenario.
For those who missed the excellent speech. Talk about hitting the nail on the head.
"Whatever way the wind blows....."
If Josepha really believed what she said in tweet 1 she would have been backing the AIB decision.
She decided however to piggyback on a popular decision for some reflected glory no doubt but her past tweet tripped her up.
Flippety floppity style.
It seems that Paddy Cosgrave shares your lack of comprehension.
Sorry I am not going to explain both tweets again. Unbelievable carry on
Look at the comment under the post from Paddy, do you really want to be in with that gang?
Its an embarrassment first that Paddy would be trawling all over all TD posts and then thats the best he could come up with. The comments from the idiots underneath just proves the point I already made on this thread
AN embarrassment to Paddy and to the opposition party he is aligned himself with.
Perception is king.
Have a look at the 9 News. The government are not getting any credit for the reversal. Quite the opposite.
FFG now losing more grey voters.
Lets see who turns up to the weekend radio shows and answers the awkward questions...😉
Hilarious...the person who wrote tweet 1 would logically be lamenting the fact AIB changed their mind, in Tweet 2, because, you know, 'cash is on the way out' and AIB were right just like Apple Pay.
But no...chance for some piggybacking and reflected glory so flippety flop.
Now don't make me have to explain it to you again!
It's only 6.55 here...anyway I guess you mean the 6 news and not the 9?
I have yet to see a post from you at any stage which suggest that FFG are not losing voters so hardly a surprise you claim the same again
I guess everyone knows who these guys are?
Anyway interesting when you think about the AIB story
With N26, Revolut etc in the market, will we have cash in 5 years? I doubt it

AIB should have waited 5 years so. Hopefully now the government will keep a proper eye on our bank and make sure they don't try it on again.
I'm sure this will be an unpopular post (and I'm a very harsh critic of the government FWIW) but people are strange
However
Irish people have very strange priorities if you ask me
Like yesterday when he said AIB paid no tax and clarified but you kept bringing it up, even today?
Yes 9 - I posted after I watched the 6 News where the optics looked very bad. They will look bad at 9 too if you missed 6 News. Keep up!
I agree. Irish people are too apathetic which is why FFG have ridden us for decades and left us with appalling services and a massive debt. There were some protests around the bank bailout (Leo said not another red cent for example 😊) and I do remember the Axe Tax protests back in the 1980s when things were grim. I protested against Irish Water primarily because of the crony/wasteful superquango setup but also because I knew Trickle Hogan and friends wanted to privatise our precious resource.
I do get your point though. Very few people think about the national interest and we get the self serving politicians we deserve. I think we will look back at these bumper MNC tax years and wonder where and how we blew it all so badly.
