    if you've been watching what our government has being trying to defend and support the last few weeks and in fact since it took office, like me you might be fed up with being lied too, placated too, condescended too, spied on, robbed/corrupted and increasingly forced to work for free, emigrate, fester on the dole or worse case scenario swing from a rope,

    all the while out government swan off across the globe meeting and greeting other corrupt "leaders", enjoy fantastic lifestyles and pick up massive pensions even if they wreck the country and what are the people of Ireland doing about it??

    final straw for me is after shatter rushes through his statement this morn and stated he only recieved info on the garda station phone call recordings on tue at 12.40pm and since then the statement was so ill recieved he had to finally apolagise, and now we know he knew about these recordings since at least 2001!!

    when will the people decide enough is enough!!

    No idea. People seem to be generally happy enough with Kenny and Co. Mystifies me, but there you go.

    When the price of a chicken fillet roll goes beyond three euro.....then we march on Leinster House and hang, draw and quarter the lot of them.

    Rant over?

    For what it's worth, and I'm not going to get in to yet another government bashing discussing, I'm happy enough with this current government and what they have done to get this country going again. I didn't vote for them but will in future.

    What was it someone said about doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results?

    When the lies become implausible it is a bit disheartening in fairness.
    They've dealt with all of this like complete idiots.Just fess up and
    do the thing right instead of automatically falling back on the default position of petty politics

    who can blame them for chancing their arms and try to ride it all out, we let way too much dodgy $hite slide and it only encourages them

    FG = FF = Lab = SF = Ind

    All politicians, all self-servers.

    Feasible alternative administration to run the country?

    FF/SF?

    Unviable and probably worse IMO

    all we need to is hold governments to account, if something unforgivable comes out like what has been leaking out of our government the last few years we go to the polls and the next crowd would want to do a better job or they're out on their a$$es too. the problem is not who's in government, it's what they think and/or know they can get away with

    I agree.
    Most Irish voters are thick without a doubt.
    And the ones that don't bother are almost as bad.

    But that w*nker from FG grinds my gears so much, he's a disgusting specimen of what thickos elect.

    tbh lab/sf would have been the ticket if they had the numbers


    the prospect of sticky-shinner partnership would have been delicious..citizen gilmore as glorious leader and grizzly adams as taawnishtay
    oh to be a fly on the wall in that cabinet
