Economy does the rest of us, I've only been business class once in my life, which I got bumped up to for voluntary taking a later flight from Hong Kong to Heathrow. Politicians aren't royalty tbh.

The fact that the government gave Irish Water to Denis O Brien. It's just going to be sold on in the future to make a profit for him.

But he doesn't own irish water as another posted stated as fact which is untrue. I went to a protest in Cork Saturday and the amount of ill informed morons was unreal, it made the rest of us look stupid.

He will be next in line in the running to buy it when they do decide to Privatise Irish Water. Politicians are not to be trusted.

To be honest there is so much stuff online like politics.ie and the journal and Facebook and Irish politics has been very complex in the past with tribunals and all, I got my info wrong and wires mixed. My choice of wording was poor in the other post but went back and deleted it.
