The Fine Gael thread

[lawnseed]

What if sinn fein were to hook up with labour and the lefties.. This would force fg to work with ff. Sinnfein would then become the opposition.. Ahhaaaa its beginning to dawn on mayogodhelpus this is exactly what sinn fein want. All the dung in the one spot. where the infection can be treated. Its all falling into place

you do realise they sinn fein don't actually want to hook up. but the mere threat will send enda into the arms of michael

You honestly think you lot are a threat politically in the Republic? You are living in cloudcuckooland. FG will choose opposition or a minority led government over any coalition with SF or FF.

Believe it or not, I feel FF would back a minority FG administration before allowing SF into government.
That's not as incredible as it may seem at first sight.
FG has supported minority FF govts. twice in the past and there was the so-called Tallaght Strategy during the time of Alan Dukes' leadership when FG held a conference to decide on strategy and listed a number o key areas where they wouldn't oppose FF policy. They said this was being done in the national interest and I've no reason to doubt their sincerity.
With FG likely to ne the bigger party for the conceivable future, I'd expect FF to return the compliment; if only to prevent the Shinners making further inroads into their core vote.

I refer my honourable friend to the reply I gave some time ago..
the saddest thing is that the sheep seemed to have very little say/choice in what happens and don't seem to want to know

It has emerged the State Agency Forfás spent more than €1.4m last year renting offices that were never used.
The figures, which are contained in the agency's Financial Statements for 2012, have prompted Fianna Fáil to call on the Public Expenditure Minister Brendan Howlin to explain why this is happening and to take action.
The party's spokesperson on Public Expenditure and Reform, Sean Fleming, said he fears other State agencies may also be wasting taxpayers' money.

Fianna Fáil really has some cheek, considering most of the Board (and indeed all of the other wastrel Boards) were appointed by themselves and their PD partners. Sadly though they rightly assume that most voters have forgotten.

Yes muppet, the previous government are to blame for everything, the current lot haven't had a chance to make changes.

I suppose Bertie is to blame for an ambulance running out of fuel while transporting a transplant patient. Maybe we have found a job that Cowen is fit for? http://breakingnews.ie/ireland/ambulance-runs-out-of-fuel-while-moving-transplant-patient-607637.html

Your post has Fianna Fail complaining. Anyone else, fair enough, but Fianna Fail!

I think you're a bit off base here muppet. If something is crap does it really matter who complains about it? Who should be allowed raise it?

Well if AIB complains about the budget, is that ok?
Or Sean Quinn?
