to avoid messing up the Border Poll thread which seems to have turned into a Sinn Féin thread -
SF "are the only party that will restore Roscommon A & E" they tell us.
They didn't add how it would be paid for unfortunately 

Those in receipt of Public Service pensions are hardly ordinary people, more a cosseted bunch of inefficient workers.

If they're getting pensions they are no longer workers.
As for cossetted and inefficient - try driving an ambulance, working in an A & E or  teaching 4 year olds instead of repeating oul broad stroke cliches.

- you cycled how many miles on the bicycle to get to the game?
- you stooked 10 acres of hay on the morning of the game?

Sure a lot of serious drinkers go on the dry in November so as they can afford to over do it in December 

Why is there no answer " Bad Idea"?
Height of nonsense in my opinion.

No wonder some of us were dreading Horan leaving.

This madness can t continue. Paddy must resign and the new executive must start the process all over again. This is possible because, fortunately, the new management has not been put in place. If Holmes and Connelly have any sense they will stand aside until this matter is resolved. If Paddy goes ahead and gets the board appoint H&C under these circumstances they will have no credibility within the county or anywhere else.

The deal is done and the race is run. Sure Donie Buck and Barry Solan have already committed to the dual-headed managers.

Don't forsee been enough of a heave to not ratify the management.

Would you kindly f**k off out of this thread and find a sheep to worry for an hour or two.

Oh dear!!! What an intemperate post to poor young Syfín.
Looks like the Rhubairbíns are ratherr upset and touchy these days .

In all seriousness that's some mess of worms.
I see Ballaghaderreen Co. Roscommon resident John O'Mahony has been appointed as an "Advisor" to the new Carlow Manager.
Wonder does it pay as well as being an advisor to a FG Minister 

[an economically viable strategy]

There is a definite opening for the party that sets out an economically viable strategy to sell the general public the feasibility of the reunification of the country. I think Sinn Fein have begun this strategy a good number of years ago and if they can attract fresh thinking strategist and gain power in the south in the next decade .....

SF's advert for their candidate in the Ros/S Laythrum By election tells us that SF is opposed to Austerity, Cuts, Water Chargse and Property Tax. Next sentence tells us they will improve Public Services.

Sad thing is up to 20% of the Population in the 26 Cos believe this hocus pocus 

Whose lies do you believe so?

On the issue you brought up - unless you believe that public services are being run at optimum efficiency then of course they can be improved without injection of additional cash. However, you hate SF so just jump on anything to say "be scared of them, they'll ruin us" - even though we're in a perpetual cycle of ruination thanks to FF/FG/LAB as it is.

Your post is a typical example of group think that screws us up all the time in the 26 counties. You can't do that/that won't work....maybe it won't but by fcuk what FF/FG/LAB have done over the past 50 years has definitely not worked so why stick with them? Definition of stupidity. I'm far from a SF supporter by the way. It half irritates me that they seem to be the main party who stand up for ordinary people.

Standing up for plain people would be lovely and wonderful and I'm all for someone to do so.
All SF are saying is  in effect "we'll take in much less income and spend a lot more". Try that in your own household and see how it goes. I don't hate SF by the way.
That was tried in 1977 by FF and we saw how that went.
As for "groupthink" - I'm merely expressing my own opinion based on common sense.
I voted for Ming by the way.

PS - your point about running public services better without more cash -  please contact Leo at the Dept of Health with any ideas.

Well that's the end of Mayo now.

We live in hope

one of them should of been dropped back

I bet Horan would have written it correctly.

I agree that up until recently their economic policies were either non existent or didn't stack up. However that has begun to change

Obviously not in roscommon/Sth Laythrum  as that ad is in last Wekk's Ros Herald for the By election of 10th October.

[why]

The really relevant question here is why the British Government let the whole of Scotland decide by means of a vote,whether or not they wish to maintain the union,but has never allowed the whole of Ireland the same basic democratic right,

The difference in attitude from 1914 to 2014 perhaps.
We've decided to accept the Good Friday Agreement which lets the 6 Cos decide firstly 

A lot of very depressed people in Scotland after the result.  However,  given we were up against the Westminster establishment,  the media (only 1 paper supported independence) and the financial world then 45% was a good achievement. I felt 2 weeks ago that we were going to do it but the yes majority poll scared Westminster and we had 10 days of blanket fear coverage with banks and major companies threatening to leave.  That swung people who were moving to yes back to no.

3/4 of over 65's voted no. Give it a few years and we'll be back.

45% was a massive achievement considering all the handicaps of biased media, EU and others ganging up and the rabbit from the hat of greater powers.
The one certainty is that the 45% were committed to the cause while the 555 is split between committed pro Unionists and fearful or dont knows who were swayed by the rabbit from the hat.
I suspect that whole rabbit will unravel as English MPs of all Parties kick up a fuss and hopefully  the new SNP leader plaus all the Yes folks who became politicised will come to the fore and keep up the pressure so that when the next Refernedum is held you will be the 55%.

So kerry only have 35 all Irelands, and they also won the one in the polo grounds apparently.  Not a clue.

FFS !!
Thankfully stopped watching it about 10 years ago.
Looks like I was right.
