The Fine Gael thread

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.

Id be more interrested in who owns these unused properties. Im thinking government stooge or wife of fg td

You would think you would be more worried about the container ship full of smuggled cigs found

[AZOffaly]

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?

So who is allowed complain if something is wrong? Only those who have clean hands completely?

time was a container of fags was something. the families have gotten so big now that a container is only a snack. even a small outfit could handle the loss of one or two containers that's progress and growth in the local economy

Everyone is allowed to complain, I am simply pointing out the hypocrisy of those most responsible being the ones giving out about the mess.

I'm with you Elmo; unlike AZ I'm not going to forget.

Mayo fan you know.

I'm not going to forget either. But I think if we disqualify criticism of the government from the opposition, on the grounds that they made a right f**k up themselves, then we might as well forget the whole thing.  Only Sinn Fein would be allowed to criticise the government of the day, until they themselves get in...

I was specifically pointing out their criticism of a mess they themselves created, not all criticism of the Government.

Yeah, but they fucked up everything

[muppet]

No dispute from me on that one.

Nor me.  Don't mind criticism where it's due - but criticism from the culpable is infuriating, especially when they know some gobshites are listening to them.

But lads, if you don't want to hear criticism of what's happening today from those who made a c**k up of it initially, then basically you are limiting the criticism to either Sinn Fein or the Independents. Is that really what ye want?

Not at all, criticism of a Forfás screw up can come from Government back-bench TDs, the Senate ( ) or even the media.

But it is simply hypocrisy hearing it from FF.
