FG and Labour now have the fastest growing economy in Europe

Yet hospitals are stacked with people on trolleys and child poverty has doubled since 2008

What a success! I'm so proud to be irish.

Wow. They gave the Government two grade As and an overall grade C. I wouldn't be that generous.

But Foxy I am guessing you didn't read the article to the end. 

Boosting literacy has f all to do with FG. Putting money into new schools however is welcome.
If you think a overall C rating is something to boast about then go ahead. The biggest non-fictional stat is the one to focus on.

I didn't give them a C. You didn't read the full article and you didn't read my post either.

You probably haven't.....read sausages, burgers, chips and cold beer on ice, every hour. Hmmmm.

I wouldn't be a fan of Murphy and would never vote for him however he was elected on the back of the Water Charges. He is doing what the people asked him to do unlike the majority of politicians. Their ideas for the economy are a bit far fetched but Joe Higgins does make some fair points on how the money could be raised. Just because they can talk nonsense some of the time doesn't mean they don't have good ideas.

A stopped clock is right twice a day.

Which would be two nil to the clock when up against you and you're "shir it'll do and stop yere complaining"

Can you just put "I'm intellectually and morally superior to everyone" on all your posts?

You want to tell us how you'd introduce competition for water?

However, well placed sources said Derek Byrne, Paul Moore and Damien O'Neill had taken full meals in prison on Monday. They had breakfast in the morning, followed by lunch just after midday and a cooked tea in the evening, before being locked in their cells for the night.

Jamie Bryson giving tips on hunger striking ?

[Rossfan]

Breakfast in the morning followed by a four hour hunger strike......

[armaghniac]

I'd say they are on hunger strike now and at least for another 5 hours.

Ironically that is one of the 2011 promises they kept. They said they would introduce water charges, but then they didn't have a choice either way.

But carry on beating your head off the ground and calling it a wall.

To not have competition in a privatised situation would result in a monopoly, making competition necessary, not impossible as u suggest.

Competition would be great, you could pay a premium and get Ballygowan out of your tap while your neighbours would still have the plain old tap water.

Conor Lallys tongue was firmly routed to his cheek with this one:

Mr Byrne's partner Siobhán Walsh said on Monday she was "worried sick" about the men being on hunger strike. However, Ms Walsh believed Mr Byrne would persist with his plans unless his "political" transfer to Wheatfield was reversed.
"Derek is a very strong-minded person and if he decides to do something then that's what he will do," she said.
Ms Walsh was speaking before it emerged the men were taking meals.
