It's PanDENmonium! [Off Topic Chat]

In my opinion this condom levy idea is a Trojan horse.

And condoms don't stop involuntary fluids? :pac:

The act that requires a condom generally is something you have control over

Tbh I'd count everything on that list as essential...

So would I, but I'd put more importance on the basic hygiene products.
You can chose not to have sex if you can't afford condoms, babies can't chose to not poo and women can't chose to not have their periods if they can't afford hygiene products. I don't think people realize how restrictive it would be for the lives of parents and women to not have these products.

Well, the plastic bag levy was introduced to stop people from using plastic bags, so if the government's logic is correct, a condom levy would stop people from using condoms, seeing as they're technically non-essential.

And then the new parents who don't use condoms will be forced to buy nappies, which have a levy on them, thus giving the government more money!

I Googled it...

What's the AK phone show?
What's angel lane?

I feel so stupid lol.

AK I'm assuming is Adrian Kennedy on FM104 in Duberlin (the local radio equivilant of Joe Duffy)

Angel Lane is a nightclub in Limerick.

Pints of beer/cider and measures of spirits going up by 10c.

Bottle of wine going up by €1.

10c on a box of cigarettes.

50c on rolling tobacco.

Jaysus, just when you thought they couldn't squeeze any more out of the 'aul reliables eh?

This country us turning into a communist state. I blame the eu. Fair nough I don't like the eu. There's no independence or competition anymore.

It'd be worse than this, all the time, if we weren't in the EU

+1. The EU has been a massive benefit to this country. It's our own gobsh*tes that consistently screw up.



EDIT: Also, Pearse Doherty is such a class speaker. He's been ripping into Gilmore and Kenny et al for 30 minutes at this stage. Great viewing!

Yeah but I remember Michael Noonan doing much the same thing this time two years ago. Nothing changes really, if he was on the other side I'm sure he'd act just like Kenny and co.

I always feel an urge to just get out of this country around budget-time, like I'm actually regretting not applying to UCAS now. But sure we'll be grand, they may scare the blackbirds but they cannot stop the spring. /deep

Yeah I know I he'd be doing the exact same were he on the other side of the house... but I can't help it. I WANT to believe that there is SOMEONE in there that genuinely wants to change things.

With each passing budget, emmigration becomes more and more of an attractive prospect tbh. This one is the worst I remember since starting to analyse budgets (probably about 6 years ago). There's f*ck all in it to actually stimulate the economy. Just more tax increases and cuts that will make it so people have less money to spend. It's getting ridiculous when Sinn Fein are putting forward more positive budgetary measures that might actually work rather than FF/FG.
