Title: Rickshaws
Post by: mercenary for hire on September 10, 2017, 08:35:59 pm
I've been posting here and the other channel about modified rickshaws.Imagine a couple of years down the road if the rickshaws figure out how to modify thier rigs to something with more power.Looks like fun but ya wouldn't want them competing with us with this kit.All that power from such a small motor and battery pack.

Didn't Minister Ross instruct NTA to carry out a public consultation a while back?

Of course. Will Ross throw a royal cat among the pigeons before he's forced to climb down on his anti-Healy-Rae gargle stance. The fairies in Kerry are livid by all accounts.

That was painless. Three or four multiple choice questions, the last being do you think rickshaws should be prohibited/regulated/left as is. Although there is a case for regulation I chose prohibited to keep it simple.

Swallowing Pints with the Rodent last week in Donnaghys  We captured John Drennan the FG insider Jurno in the smoking area .I suggested to him there might be an election this year he reckoned that was a good shout .

 Ross has two bills the Judicial appointments Bill and the Drink Driving Bill .When Enda left his job he Shit in Rosses mouth by appointing Whelan to the Supreme Court and then Leo appointed a new head of the appeals court ignoring Rosses Bill .

 Then you have the Drink Bill Ross had the Rideshare Question in his in box for nearly two years and done nothing with it until some Upstart junior minister said we need to do something to help rural publicans .Im sure Ross thought to himself If I bring in Rideshare they will say sure Shane there is no need for legislation anymore sure lads and lassies in rural Ireland will not drive now that they have the Ride .Ross cut off that avenue now the Government must support his bill if they dont how can he remain in government ,imagine a government who do not support their own ministers bills .

Budget Passes in October then the shit hits the fan 125/1 a December election is massivly overpriced .


Later that day we Ambushed Timmy Dooley TD in the Old Stand he wasent aware of Ross setting up the Government for a fall ,support me Bill or I will force an election and tell the voters the government dont care about innocent people being killed by drunk drivers and the judges appointed by the Government are complicit .

When a TD meets a citizen they tend to clam up. Last thing Dooley wanted was Johnnygate.

To be fair, all Dooley wanted was to walk down the road but he was polite enough to humour the 'erm for a minute or two.
