    There are many people in this country up at 6 and 7 in the morning, travelling to work exhausted, living month to month and worrying how to afford to pay for lunch.

    While you are sitting at work thinking about lunch this fella is just waking up out of bed and looking forward to gambling for the day.

    Then he is off to the casino to give the owner the money you worked for to pay for his lifestyle.

    He gets a raise and a Christmas bonus by the government while you get nothing.

    How can anybody read what he just said and not say enough is enough.

    They moved here and can't support themselves, by EU law we could have kicked them out years ago.

    How many wasters could we kick out to free up accommodations for people who actually deserve it.

    It's about time people like these wasters are held accountable by the government who are supposed to look after you before these people.

    Remember that Leo Varadkar came out and defended Jozef Puska, saying he was a great fella who worked and paid his taxes.

    FG spitting in the face of those of us who actually do get up for for every morning and contribute to society.

    I must have missed that.

    Could you post a link to where Leo said that please?

    The laws have not changed to reflect society or technology. Any one from anyway can use the Internet to decide the country with the easiest pickings and travel here quite cheaply.

    Then there is a whole "professional" class here living off this. The kind who go on about social injustice and climate change, then fly their kids to see Santa in the Arctic at Christmas time.

    Meanwhile the police, paramedics, nurses etc have to deal with the fallout. Communities are being destroyed.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,351 ✭✭✭✭gmisk


    A "great fella"?

    I am pretty sure he directly called him "evil" no?

    Leo is a tosser as are most of FG/FF but might as well include what he actually called him.

    had been in the country for the best part of 10 years working, paying taxes.

    He had not been working and paying taxes. He was unemployed and claiming disability, but strangely was still able to attack, over power and murder a fit and healthy young woman who fought for her life.

    Yes. Judges use their discretion in sentencing for the benefit of protected classes, and openly boast of doing so. Until this power is taken from them or our judiciary is replaced en masse, this will continue.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,502 ✭✭✭arctictree


    What amazes me is this:

    "Legal sources say they are among the first people to be successfully prosecuted for this offence."

    Really? The first to be ever convicted of withholding information? What is the point in us enacting laws if they are not enforced?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,717 ✭✭✭✭Galwayguy35


    How can they come here, do nothing and get everything handed to them.

    And then to cover up the murder of an innocent woman.

    The whole lot of them including the kids need to be kicked out of Ireland when they get out of prison.

    If it wasn't for Aishling Murphy's boyfriend I don't even think they would have bothered with pursuing charges against them.

    In relation to the 14 kids, they're probably better off hoping they get deported before TUSLA loses them or gets them killed if TUSLA's current record of caring for children is anything to go by.

    We're a soft touch country with a left leaning Government and judiciary.

    Now there's going to be a short stay in a nice comfortable Irish prison for this crowd, they will have to be moved into a protected area I would say and that's going to cost the Irish Taxpayer even more.

    Would have been better to immediately deport the entire lot of them back to wherever they came from and an alert setup at all entry points into the country in case they try get back into Ireland. And send the murderer back to serve his sentence in his own country and not the luxury cell its in now.

    Mod: I don't particularly care about the comments on the Puska family folks but some of the generalisations posted were a bit much. Couple of warnings issued and posts removed. A reminder that discussion of matters before the courts is not permitted also, I had to issue a warning and delete a post regarding another case as well.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 22,793 ✭✭✭✭Ash.J.Williams


    I thought they were blaming me at one point, I was nearly going to do a stop murdering women course before I snapped out of it and realised it was just bunch of feminist loons spreading false shite



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 176 ✭✭Wezz


    People who come to this country and contribute nothing should not be allowed stay. I'm an immigrant to this country myself, married to a fellow immigrant so I certainly wouldn't be anti immigration, racist or far right. I'm pro people moving if needed but actually making a valid contribution to the country they move to by working or getting involved in education and training or just being active members of their community. It seems this family did none of the above and I would hope they would be deported on their release.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,480 ✭✭✭bladespin


    I really do wonder about this, especially given more recent events, I've read his statement and several since and nothing he says is actually "Far right" in any way, why the censorship, he raises some seriously valid points, the more they hush people like him the more concerned I get.

    What's even more depressing is that the only credible opposition to our current left leaning Govt is one which leans even further to the left.

    We're about to elect Connolly as President so I don't see any appetite in the Irish electorate to move anyway back to the center and until that happens, we will be funding this madness for some time yet.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,793 ✭✭✭Hoboo


    Sums Leo, FF and FG up really. They’ll do anything to defend their capitalist immigration strategy.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,946 ✭✭✭✭Boggles


    People have the right to stay silent, also comes down to self incrimination.

    The particular law has gone to the Supreme Court a couple of times if I remember correctly.

    Someone posted Varadkar’s quote above and this also made me think.

    I think one of the reasons why Varadkar did poorly as a leader electorally is because he didn’t follow through on representing those who “get up early in the morning”. There were attempts at gaslighting people over that like he was ignoring shift workers or whatever, but nobody with a brain cell read it like that. He paid far too much attention to turn people on Twitter who despised him and calling him Thatcher rather than governing like what the people who liked him wanted him to. 80% of the country wouldn’t have an issue with taking a stand against people like this but he’d run scared in case Amnesty International or whatever kicked up a fuss. It will be electorally positive for the first party out there to recognise this and shift tact on this. You can go right without becoming some National Front type. The Peter Casey vote in 2018 should have made this obvious and he was a bit of a gom himself.

    The Irish public run scared when something happens internationally and they figure out that their well being might be impacted.

    I would say though that I don’t think that I think there is actually a market for a right wing party. I think Fine Gael tried in 2011 to become the new Fianna Fáil, that is they wanted to be the centre party of default government. As such they followed what the narrative was rather than try and make wedge issues. Martin as a leader is similar with Fianna Fáil. If FG had leaned into what people actually think of them then I think they’d get more votes.

    It will likely take someone economic to shift things. We saw in 2011 an influx of interesting people from business and society into politics as the country struggled. For most of those likes of people, I don’t think politics appeals today and won’t unless we are seen to be in crisis.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,684 ✭✭✭Tenzor07


    Hopefully given a choice between a Government stooge and a Lefty lawyer that people will "Vote" for Jim Gavin, which will at least allow him to refuse to take office and there can be another election with hopefully more appealing candidates..



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,364 ✭✭✭✭NIMAN


    The government would be advised to take heed of the mood of a lot of the inhabitants of this country, or they will find our politics here going the way of the UK in the next decade or so. They can take actions now to address the issue before its too late.

    We all know we need immigration. Our hospitals for one wouldn't function at all without it. Our multinationals need many too, a lot of highly skilled and qualified people come from abroad. Our hotels and restaurants too.

    But the people are getting fed up with the large numbers coming in who are contributing nothing and are nothing but a drain on the state. This Puska family is the perfect example. 14 kids! Inside a couple of generations there could be an extended family of 100 needing looked after by the state.

    And the government would be unwise to think its just the tricolour hanging, firework firing mob who they have to worry about. Its not. They are a tiny number of right wing racists. But there is a large section of law abiding taxpayers, who are struggling to go to work every day and make ends meet who will eventually get fed up paying tax upon tax to look after those who are adding nothing to the country. It will come to a head unless its addressed. Hiding your head in the sand isn't an answer.

    Why even imprison them at the taxpayers expense, just deport, drive them to the airport from court and put them on a plane. Good riddance to bad rubbish



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,684 ✭✭✭Tenzor07


    Didn't say it was 100% going to happen, however he's still on the Ballot sheet for people to vote for, and it won't count as a spoiled or invalid vote.. Support at 10% though…

    So we're stuck with the Lefty who's going to win and the Stooge whose just in it to make up the numbers now… most likely a very low voter turn out too.. So we'll have to wait another 7 years.

    He wouldn’t have got his new cushy job as guest lecturer at Harvard if he did that. Western politics is less corrupt than emerging market countries as the bribes aren’t cash, they are future connections and easy high paying jobs but still corrupt.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,684 ✭✭✭Tenzor07


    He's legally on the ballot papers cos he withdrew after the legal time limit for removal from the Ballot sheet, so technically he could become the 10th president of Ireland

    Ha, their court dates along with others are posted on social media.

    Any chance Kitty Holland and co will protest them or is she happy enough that the murderer and co conspirators were the correct type.
