    Liam, I don't log on here to have depressing political debates or point score against other posters.

    I like to try and have a laugh on here, although you may view this as simplistic and idiotic, I really couldn't give a flying F*ck to be honest.

    Nothing funny or original about the repeated-ad-nauseum phrase "haters gonna hate".

    If and when you come up with a post that's original and funny that we can have a laugh at, let us know!

    It's founder being instrumental in the cause and start of the Civil War; in part over the pledge of allegiance to the english monarch and then swearing the oath in 1927 to claim power with FF.

    The list is endless

    Giving full driving licenses to people who had two provisional licenses.

    The great "decentralisation" disaster.

    Buying out the Talbot workers by giving them wages for life to do nothing.

    Abolishing rates on private homes, now having to be re-introduced at the worst possible time.

    Getting your election agent to vote for you twice.

    Threatening phone calls to Uachtaran na h-Eireann

    Planting trees and removing said trees after election

    Things that involved high levels of planning and yet the end product was hugely flawed.

    e.g. not connecting the two Luas lines.


    Not creating the underground Metro, which would have made access to Dublin Airport easier, sooner. No, instead they offset the budget surpluses on bonuses for already overpaid figureheads and politicians and SW add-ons.

    The whole of the mid west could see Dells plan years before they happened.
    Now maybe there was nothing the government could do to be fair. But send two ministers to Texas after the decision was made?
    Why weren't they out there lobbying three, two and one year before it happened?

    Here you are:
    A typical example was the Talbot car workers dispute in 1981. Talbot wished to close its assembly plant in Santry, north Dublin. Haughey, desperate not to have a messy dispute on his constituency doorstep on the eve of an election, simply guaranteed the workers that the State - i.e. everyone else in Ireland - would pay their salaries!

    Liam, what's this 'we' business?

    I'm sure I've made some people laugh at some of my posts, and I like the thoughts of that to be honest.

    Your posts are extremely boring and depressing. You seem like a bitter, judgemental individual and I actually kind of feel sorry for you a little bit.

    One of the daftest schemes they ever dreamed up

    Put housing estates in small villages where there is hardly any employment.

    An overheated property market and they give tax breaks for all this

    And for what? Many of these are empties now and will likely get knocked.

    They had some succuss with Section 50 which built modern accomadation for students and that scheme did pretty well and served a purpose. Rented accomdation by third level institutes

    But building estates in villages? :confused:
