Maybe on Cullen's part. I think the Green's portfolios are good news.

At least Dick Roche is gone. He won't be a happy bunny.

No room for Mammy but she'll be happy to see the nephew in.

Bertie playing it safe.

[bcarrier]

The shrewd one strikes again.

New housing development will be curtailed but greens will take blame.

As current excess supply mopped up housing market will recover and greens will be dispensed with.

Meanwhile galway races crew build out their landbanks.

Everybody wins except the greens.

Meanwhile pds take blame for ongoing health issues ...

What makes you say that?

[GweylTah]

Seamus Brennan in the 'Minister for Fun' role almost makes Edwin Poots in that role in the North seem inspirational.

Almost.

What makes you say that?

He was locally very vocal in support of JO'D's position on the stadium, a Galway United fan with no GAA links and like JO'D isnt the type to be bullied by Kennedy and his cronies. Bertie is still there and seemingly told Kennedy exactly what he though of him at a function. Got quite heated apparently.

if TD were delaying, as some suggested on here, for a more pliant minister or one with a GAA background, it backfired. They have to come up with guarantors in court tommorrow to cover all the costs if they lose and probably if they win. Millions basically. Do the DCB have the loot? Can CP be seen to directly fund a challenge to the state? Will be interesting.

Excellent news that dempsey and roche are gone from environment and energy, can only be good having the greens in

didnt even know that site existed, thanks. some good stuff on there.

i take it you are ignoring the substantive points I made?

ML, like i give a flying f**k what you think. Email berties office and ask for his opinion on Tallaght if you dont believe me.

Nobody's ignoring any points but I think we've been over this, you have your opinion, I have mine, on this issue they happen to be different. This is a discussion board when a topic has been discussed and all points have been made then surely it is time to leave the issue take it's course and what will be will be.

[northsideboy]

I think Darbyo neatly expresses what my reply would have been. I'll leave at that.
