It looks like the people of Ireland are happy enough that their children will never buy a home, Never get the operation they need and are happy to allow those in power to fill their pockets at their expense, I give up I really do.
If Helen McEntee wants to do something about violence against women she could start by sacking the judge who allowed 2 men out on €200 bail for beating and kicking a 17 year old girl to a point where she could lose her eye.
@RTENewsAtOne
This is the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, It cost €1.34bil to build and that was including reclaiming the foundation from the ocean.
The National Children’s Hospital built in the centre of Dublin is costing double that at least, We are been ripped off by gangsters.
If you went into the Gardai and told them the Bank Of Ireland conned you out of your tracker Mortgage which cost you your home they would tell you it was a civil matter.
Ryan Tubridy has gone to England to work for €90k a year yet while he was here working for RTE he was paid up to €575k a year, Ain’t we a stupid people for putting up with this shit.
Irish people have memories like goldfish, Simon Harris was health minister for 4 years before COVID appeared and during his time in the job waiting lists rose by 33%, he had to correct the Dail on 3 occasions after he misled it on cervical check. The man is incredibly incompetent
If u cant buy a house.
If u cant afford the rent.
If u have to wait 2/3 years for a consultant for your child.
If u cant even find a GP practice to take your family on.
If u want to improve your country.
STOP FUCKING VOTING FG and FF.
Junior Minister Robert Troy of FF is charging €1550 a month in rent for a 1 bed apartment, Robert Troy voted 3 times against both rent control and rent caps, I wonder why.
This is Ken Murphy, Ken is an auctioneer from Wexford and Ken tried to heap more misery on people trying to buy a house in an housing crisis by asking potential clients for a deposit of €2000 to buy their way up the list for new houses, Ken is not a nice person.
Tonight Marcus Rashford missed a penalty but last year he overturned a Tory Govt decision to provide school meals for over 1 million children, Im no England fan and no Man U fan but i am a big fan of this young man.
On the 1st of September the Govt will impose a 5% levy plus the 13.5% vat on all concrete products, This will of course increase house prices in the middle of a housing crisis.
Does anyone else think their is an unhealthy friendship between a majority of Irish journalists and politicians that effects how they uphold their oath to hold power to account ?
Minister Robert Troy is on €125,000 a year plus about €40,000 expenses yet still he is pulling strokes in the property market in a housing emergency.
To make it worse Varadkar and Martin are defending him to the hilt, Its hard to know which is more insulting to the electorate.
Count your blessings, You could be like Dee Forbes and immediately after retiring on a huge pension that she denied to so many employees of RTE catch an illness that floors you for 7 months with no sign of a cure.
Whoever is responsible for releasing a video of a group of women celebrating a win in the privacy of their dressing room should never again be allowed into that dressing room
#COYGIG
I see Simon Harris has signed up to house Ukrainian refugees, There are two people sitting on the street In Greystones for the last 3 years begging and he has done nothing for them, Then again no headlines in that.
Was just in Super Value for water I drink and last week it was €2 but today it’s €2.15, Went to the counter and asked the lady behind the counter when did it go up, “everything went up today “ she said, So much for this fool and his meetings with Supermarket bosses.
This man is the worst minister in the worst Govt this country has ever had, A 40% increase in homelessness and 37% increase in rents since he became Minister, Multiple housing schemes helping no one but the developers and landlords, Darragh the complete disaster.
If a couple or indeed a single person can continually pay €2000 a month in rent why are they refused a mortgage that costs €1500 a month, Are the banks part of the scam in keeping rents artificially high to the benefit of large corporate landlords ?
The damage done to the country by this crook and his cronies should have him accepting visitors in Mountjoy not doing arse licking interviews on state television, Sickening shite from Tubridy who has made his fortune from not asking hard questions of anyone.
Germany banned Vulture funds from buying residential property yet the Irish Govt are doing roadshows to attract Vulture Funds to this country to invest in residential property and deny our children from an affordable home or apartment, Who do our Govt represent us or them ??
I’m sick to my bolix been ripped off in this country, Every time you go into a shop the item you bought last week has gone up 10/15% with the usual lame excuse when the real reason is the total lack of regulation and pure fucking greed.
This lad is playing for Limerick today.
If this was a junior hurler from Wicklow he would be spending 2 seasons watching hurling from Mountjoy jail.

Robert Watt and Paul Reid are the two top people in the Dept of Health and the HSE who between them earn €715,000 a year. Now look at the state of the health service and the scandals day in day out and tell me why because it sure not for their talent.
In 20 years following politics I have never seen so much criticism of a govt from the people, I have also never seen a media so reserved in its criticism of that same govt, Media criticism has brought down bad Govts before so why not the worst Govt we have ever had ?
Hamburg can build a children's hospital for €70m
Helsinki can build a hospital for €170m
Dublin? Over €2BN ++ - it stinks, that all to familiar smell of corruption that is so ingrained in the politics of Fine Gael and Fianna Fail
#LookBack2019
Happy New Year.
Luke 'Ming' Flanagan tops the poll in Midlands-North-West for the European election. Just 20 first preference votes between FF's Barry Cowen and FG's Nina Carberry in second and third places. No one elected on the first count.
Every day is a school day, Seemingly Ryan Tubridy was a spokesperson for nation yet i never once heard him callout the Govt on homelessness the health crisis or the soup kitchens feeding children on the streets of Dublin, Maybe i missed it.
Wrong developer.
Wrong site.
No budget.
No agreed design.
The decision to rush this project against all the expert advice was taken by then Health Minister Simon Harris and Leo Varadkar at a time when they were under pressure over the cervical check scandal.
This is there scandal
Why is the
@TodaywithClaire
show asking an independent journalist about the Damien English resignation and not the Journalists from
@wereontheditch
who actually broke the story ?
They shut down the peat industry in Ireland in the name of climate change and then replace the peat by cutting down the Brazilian rain forest for woodchip, Now that’s Eamon Ryan for ye.
Why is Ireland the most expensive country in the world for everything.
Has it anything to do with zero regulation on anything or anybody and zero govt concern for consumers to the benefit of corporations.
All the experts told these two wankers the NCH was been built in the wrong place and a green field site off the M50 was the way to go, Not alone did they not listen but signed the contract without a budget, They would not run a bath let alone a country.
Gordon Elliott banned for a year from his job for sitting on the body of a dead horse and rightly so, 16 employees of Davy Stockbrokers take part in an illegal insider trading deal and make possibly millions and are not even named and shamed let alone jailed for their fraud.
Tony Holohan tried to cover up the Cervical Check scandal, He attempted to keep vital information from women wrongly diagnosed.
He should not be allowed near any cancer service because he cannot be trusted.
Tony Holohan set for new cancer consultant job in HSE with salary of up to €257,000
He will be working specifically on cancer prevention and treatment, despite his role in the CervicalCheck scandal being the source of controversy.
#HowIrelandWorks
Shock horror, The Re-Turn scheme was a con job run by the producers and the board is manned by the producers, This country is run by corrupt fuckers for corrupt fuckers.
The price of electricity in Ireland is 2x what it is in mainland Europe, Our own Govt and Eamon Ryan in particular are not serving its people it’s serving Corporations.
Paul Reid blaming covid for no speech or therapy for children with Autism before covid even appeared, There was a 40 month waiting time for assessments long before Covid, He is on €420k a year the least he can do is be honest and admit they provide a shite service
#ontherecordNT
This Fine Gael election candidate scammed a total of €133,510 out of two developers to withdraw a planning appeal in a time when people were crying out for housing, She did not care about children living in hotels.
That’s FG in a nutshell.
Education Minister Norma Foley been described as been from a family steeped in FF politics yet the only headline I can find about her Father is of him having an offshore bank account in order to avoid paying his taxes.
When you get summoned to court for not having a tv licence just write to the judge and tell him you are not turning up due to personal and family reasons, Within 2 days there will be Gardai at your door but not at Moya Doherty's door.
#HowIrelandWorks
Meet FG Councillor Brian Lawlor, Brian earns €60k a year yet he still manages to get HAP from the council for his €1500 a month apartments, Brian pays €50 a week and tax payers pay the rest.If u are having difficulty getting HAP just ring Brian.
Record homelessness.
Record waiting lists for healthcare.
Record rents.
Record house prices.
Record costs of living.
Record fall in Gardai.
Record fall in defence personnel.
Record number of incompetent people in Govt.
Ye won’t hear this straight talking from celebrity plebs like Nina, Maria or that dose Regina, Clare is the voice of ordinary people and that’s now lost.
Asked how she felt after losing her seat, Clare Daly told RTÉ News: "You had no interest in talking to me for five years so I've no interest in talking to you" | Read more:
Leo Varadkar would have us believe social welfare fraud cheats us all when in fact his own Ministers are the ones cheating us all, These people are committing fraud and their are zero consequences for them.
The average Data centre uses 2100m3 of water every day, That’s the same usage as 5600 houses in Ireland.
There are 78 data centres in the greater Dublin area, That is not mentioned in this article.
The Tánaiste has defended the Govt's position on South Africa's case against Israel at the International Court of Justice. South Africa has accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza and the Govt is being criticised for not supporting the case |
It just shows how low standards have dropped in Ireland, A family with 2 autistic children living in tents on a river bank and that is normal, No outrage, no ministers resigning, Homelessness on this level is now accepted and the norm, Its frightening to think we allow this
I dont care what Varadkar did before he was Taoiseach but i do care that he was a useless Health Minister. A useless transport Minister, A useless Education Minister and as Taoiseach previously he leaked a state document to a friend, He is a fraud.
When I order a fish and chips I want it on a plate with a knife and fork, I don’t want the fish on a breadboard and 13 chips in a fucking mug, ffs what’s happening in this country.
These lads were on the run after burgling someone’s house and they drove the wrong way down a motorway so why is the Garda being put in the dock here, These thugs killed themselves.
Here’s an article slating SF written by Sarah Carey who passed money to politicians on behalf of Denis o Brien, Who leaked information and then lied to a Tribunal about it, Neither article nor author have an ounce of credibility.
Voted for eviction to restart.
Voted for rent rises to restart.
Voted for Child poverty to continue.
Voted down improved workers rights.
The Green Party. Vote for them at your peril.
Simon Coveney on TV now still as a minister in a Govt that was voted out of office 9 weeks ago , Coveney didn't win his seat he was 2000 votes short of a quota yet he and his party are denying the man who won the seat by 3000 over the quota a chance of a place in a Unity Govt .
So Varadkar refuses to allow concerts go ahead in Ireland but jumps on a plane and goes to one in another country, Not exactly a vote catching decision
#ResignLeo
Irish Taoiseach (Prime Minister) says he believes it is not the responsibility of the state to look after people living with disabilities.
In what can only be described as comments made by a man adrift from the realities of life for many carers, Varadkar went on to talk about
The Dail is closed this week, It reopens next week for 2 days and then shuts down again for another 19 days, Ain’t we lucky the country is running so smoothly and homelessness, healthcare and all the other social problems have been fixed.
A brother and sister up to their eyes in two separate scams to rip people off, The sense of entitlement to free money is just unreal, My money is on neither this lad or his sister spending a minute behind bars.
On the 15th of December Ireland will have a new Taoiseach in Leo Varadkar, A leader without a mandate, Think of this as u slag off the madness of the UK bringing back Boris.
Wow. Simon Harris says Israel is now engaged in a “war on children” and seems, to him; to be “blinded by rage”.
“You cannot build peace on the graves of children,” he tells the Dáil.
@virginmedianews
'I've to be like this for the rest of my life and in four-and-a-half years he'll be out and about' - Alanna Quinn Idris, who was blinded in one eye during an attack in December 2021, speaks after one of her attackers was sentenced | Read more:
⚪️JUST IN | Spain's Minister of Social Rights:
Given the attempted genocide being carried out by the State of Israel in Gaza, we propose that the Government of Spain take Netanyahu before the International Criminal Court for war crimes
Up to 6 weeks ago the Govt and NPHET were describing Antigen tests as snake oil but now it is the lead test in detecting the virus, What a bunch of muppets.
If Tubridy is such a star why has no other media organisation here or in the UK moved on him since his falling out with RTE, Maybe he is only talented in his own mind and in the minds of the handful of decision makers in RTE.
With violence against women on everybody’s mind and an obvious shortage of Gardai on the beat the Govt now decide to take 30 armed Gardai out of service to protect 15 Govt ministers, To say this Govt is out of touch would be the understatement of the decade.
Junior Minister for higher and further Education lied on a planning application, He also used a fake name on the application, What an example he is to 3rd level students.
@wereontheditch
Here’s another fucking quango that’s going to be an expensive shitshow, We have recycling centres, We have green bins so why do we need this, Every single plastic bottle is going to go up 90c on the 1st of February and it’s going to put more small shops out of business.
Gardai to launch unannounced raids on pubs where there are no proven covid cases while the HSA ring up Larry Goodman and warn him they are visiting his meat factories where their are covid cases,,,,,,,, Ye seems about right.
This young woman has brought nothing but joy to many with her exploits over the last 3 years and has been an inspiration to 1000s of children over the last week in particular, Her critics will achieve nothing in their combined lifetimes.
A class act in every sense. Humble, dignified, hard working, and a proud tallaght woman.

Fuck the racist pond-life and their miserable lives.
Here’s Simon Harris using children for his photo-ops so why doesn’t he go visit Liam Dennehy in Temple St hospital where he is still waiting for his scoliosis operation, Harris is a fraud.
If Sarah McInerney does not get the full time
@Today
gig RTE will be admitting they are a biased organisation. Her questioning of Varadkar this morning was forensic and just what we need from journalists . Maybe RTE don't want politicians held to account , We will soon find out.
If Simon Harris takes over as leader it will be a seamless change in so far as FG will be changing one inept lying bastard for another inept lying bastard.

Leo Varadkar says Ireland will not join South Africa in the action against Israel because in his opinion what Israel is doing is not Genocide.
I look forward to Varadkar political demise.
Look at this bolix, Enjoying a junket with 12k+ homeless and an eviction ban been lifted which leaves 1000s more facing homelessness, And what has he to laugh about ?
A minister on €155k+ a year advising people on minimum wage and social welfare how to spend their pennies wisely, He really is out of touch and hopefully very soon out of a job
