The Fine Gael thread

[lawnseed]

name change? i don't get that one. Provo's out? most of the volunteers in the party are men in their 60s so throwing them out isn't necessary time is taking them out of the picture. i think as regards apologies sinn fein have been calling for a truth and reconciliation commission for some time, the issue has been carefully avoided by the other combatants. as for the economy it IS our priority we are the one who wanted the money you crowd gave to the banks spent on job creation. only a couple of months age we saw obama lift an idea straight off the sinn fein manifesto. "make 85% of your membership from the republic"? now who's talking thug language? if  we could wave a magic wand- yes. but expansion is very difficult when only last month opinion polls show a drift back to 'fianna fail' how do you turn that around. as for step 8 how about 'banana' or puppet or German statelet since fianna gael have ceded sovereignty and are merely adminis'traitors'

Are we back to talking about Stormont?

its about cheques and balances you give a bit you get a bit in the realisation that you strive to achieve your aims but life goes on. the north of ireland is a better place now for republicans and nationalists than it was 40 years ago when we were getting kicked and tripped trying to get in to vote or couldnt get a house when there were empty ones all over the place

at one stage 8 ambulances thats 2/3 of the dublin emergency ambulance service were sitting outside of the one hospital in dublin unable to unload their patients. meanwhile an injured man lay in the snow with dozens of bystanders phoning and phoning to get him help according to jao mebollix today. calls from cork as well very bad service also. no calls from roscommon though so obviously the answer is to close the a+e then the sheep cant complain about the queues..

Whereas if SF was in government, it would work more like this...

again you like to attach sinn fein to what ever you think you can. you are fully aware that sinn fein are part of an all party team at stormont that includes stoops so point the finger at them all

But you're the one who'd suggest SF as an alternative government in the south, are you not?

yes! and after our dungout we will put the health and well being of 'all' irish citizens including women at the top of the agenda regardless of what colour the smoke is..

If you can't do it in the north...

sinn feins role in the 6 counties is more of a holding action while we finish off the stoops and gently massage the loyalists while suffocating them and also erode their foundation

Gentle massage, a bit of asphyxiation and then finishing off, an interesting role they are playing.
Wouldn't fancy Catriona eroding my foundation.

Story in Sindo tomorrow that Phil Hogan and his advisers have racked up €133k in travel costs in two years, including an €800 meal in Rio.

As long as he has something to show for this then I couldn't care less. If he has nothing to show for it he should resign or be fired. (I honestly don't know either way).

John O'Donoghue did this sort of thing as Ceann Comhairle, which was way out of order.

People whinge about costs and expenses of advisors etc. Sometimes they have a point, but not always.

I'll put it this way, how much would an advisor, really worth his salt, have been worth the night of the Bank Guarantee?

One who could have spelled out the next 5-10 years with great clarity to Cowan & Lenihan?

[Minder]

I have to confess muppet, this was a clunky attempt to get Lawnseed to this thread.

[Minder]

I would say this is the Sindos revenge for Hogans "kn**ker" and "put manners" comments a few weeks ago about Indo journalists.

I have the same problem distinguishing between the DUP and SF, which ones are the ones that secure British rule in the Narth of Ireland for at least another 100 years, o ya it's both

Tell him about Mary Lou and Manolo.

dont know how fine gael manage it but its been some time since they've been held up to the light.

anyway shatter showed his true colours this week when he tried to ambush mick wallace over a driving incident on prime time. shatter revealed that wallace had had the benefit of gardai descretion when he wasnt convicted of talking on his phone whilst driving. which is all very well but firstly wallace wasnt convicted and then had his points wiped he was only 'spoken to' secondly did shatter seek to get the dirt on wallace or was the information offered in the expectation of embarrassing wallace as some sort of sick 'trump card' by the gardai. either way this has sliveen written all over it and "fianna fail" are calling for him to resign it just gets sicker by the minute. roll on the dungout!!

If all the people of the 26 had to worry about is Wallace's driving habits we'd be grand.
might surprise Lawnseed but the real people don't give 2 flying fcuks about this "controversy".
Like Ming the scruffy Wexford failed builder was all gung ho  holier than thou but has been "outed" as not being that clean after all.
Why should it be a big secret? Why should people be let get away with hypocrisy?
If he went to Court and was fined it would be in the public domain so why shouldn't cautions for law breaking also be available for the public to access.?
Anyway Lawnseed - you need to start your "dungout" in Stormont where both DUPes and Shinners have been "looking after" their mates.

He thinks he is clearing the sheds on his inheritied country estate with his vocabulary.
