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.

Is there any way ye Mayowestros bucks can ban Syfín from slabbering all over ye on this Board?
He's a total embarrassment to us all.
I think ye're in for a few leaner years now in Connacht and hopefully we can try and fill the gap somewhat.
However it may take us a few years yet to do so( till we dispense with some of our older/overrated lads) so I expect the Herrins to make hay for the next 2 years 

Will the North now get the lower Corporation tax MartyPeter were looking for?
Cameron put them on hold till after the Scottish Referendum.

For want of a better place.

Hope Cooper lad is ok.

That is shocking news. I hope he has a speedy recovery.

WTF relevance is a border poll to the Scottish independence vote... It would only be relevant if the 6 counties of the North was running a referendum on independence, which would never happen as Thatcher would be better than those cnuts at Stormont.

The question on the United Ireland is completely different as it not just the decision of people in the 6 counties.

It is

You can try to convince yourself all you want but no it is not. It was entirely their own decision.

I don't need to convince myself of anything,it's in black and white when the majority of those living in the 6 counties vote to leave the UK it shall happen?It will be their decision and theirs alone.

Leaving the UK is up to the 6 counties. Removal of the border will be 32 county vote.

Indeed. For a valid marriage both partners have to say I do.

The 6Cos. a Nation now it seems   !!!!! Pleeeease.....

May I respectfully point out to some people here that the United Kingdom State does NOT consist of FOUR COUNTRIES.
It has 3 Countries plus two thirds of a Province of a fourth Country.
(Mind you I don't know if Cymru/Wales can be considered a Country but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt).

I see the timetable for extra powers for Scotland seems to be gone off the rails already. Who'd ever think that (British) Politicians wouldn't keep promises.

So we have vacancies in Wicklow, Laythrum, Down, Offaly, Westmeath, Carlow, Louth, Wexford, Waterford  and Armagh[/color], Galway and MayoWR so far.
Question marks in Sligo Antrim, Cavan, Armagh, Galway, and maybe a few more Leinster Counties - Cork too possibly.Depending on how the AI plays out Horan, Gavin, McGuinness may jump ship

Shane Ward appointed as Senior, Junior and U21 manager in Laythrum.
I've heard of double jobbin but that's squeezin the last drop out of him.
Only Walsh nominated for Galway and only one name in the hat in Waterford too.
2 Nominations in Rhuland.
Pat Flanagan yet to commit in Shliigo
