A fella I know that hires casual labour recons get ready for the shit fan interaction if FG and FF do a deal with the Greens .Restrictions will be lifted for a General Election in June as John Mc Guinness and Baby Dev will leave FF and up to 6 other members of FF /FG will resign as well .Rural TDs know if the Greens are in then they are out next election so they will walk to save their own seats .Strange how History repeats itself another civil war 1922/2022.

Would a firearm be of any use... if combined with appropriate training and properly licensed?

Rural TDs know if the Greens are in then they are out next election so they will walk to save their own seats .
OK, the coffee hasn't kicked in yet but why would rural TD's suffer if the Greens get elected? Surely only well-off city folk can afford to be 'green' in this day and age?

They'd get paid for not producing cattle. The last thing they need is more paperwork.
-
Greens want to cut emissions by lumps that means less cows that means farmers wont vote FG/FF .Its all about TDs looking after their seat and pensions .Mc Guinness and Baby Dev are threatening to bring down the lot both are Republicans and dont see why FF wont talk with Sinn Fein .The TDs are playing politics as they know the Single Farm Payment is going to be cut due to the UK no longer contributing .I have a docket @8/1 two general elections in Ireland in 2020 .Covid 19,second election ,Brexit add in a Sinn Fein Government by the end of the Year .GET A GUN ....

The Green Party want a 7% reduction, I believe. Well, this is what a 7-8% drop looks like...
https://business.financialpost.com/pmn/business-pmn/renewables-are-the-only-winners-in-historic-decline-in-energy-demand (https://business.financialpost.com/pmn/business-pmn/renewables-are-the-only-winners-in-historic-decline-in-energy-demand)
The International Energy Agency predicts there'll be an 8% drop in CO2 emissions this year due almost the entire world being in lockdown over the coronavirus.
Also, https://www.rte.ie/news/environment/2020/0429/1135712-green-party-emission-demands-could-cost-40-billion/ (https://www.rte.ie/news/environment/2020/0429/1135712-green-party-emission-demands-could-cost-40-billion/)
The Green Party is pushing for a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 7% each year until 2030 as a key component to enter coalition negotiations with Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil.
A key Green Party government talks demand to cut emissions by 7% could cost €40 billion and force decisions on the size of the national herd, agricultural practices and the use of nuclear power, according to new research.
The research - 'Is the new Green Party emissions reduction target feasible and what would it mean for the energy system?' - and undertaken by University College Cork's MaREI Centre for Energy, Climate and Marine, states that the party's 7% emissions reduction aspirations would require "transformative changes" impacting every aspect of peoples' lives.
The independent research group's previous work underpins Government and EU energy and climate policies.
Forget getting a gun, get yurself a horse!
(P.S. The 1st link talks about CO2 while the RTE article talks about 'greenhouse emissions' so the two might not correlate extactly.)
-
Woulda thought switching the world off for a few months would've resulted in more than an 8% reduction over the year. Have they factored in the inevitable phasing of switching back on and a new "normal" being the end result?
-
I guess 2 months of a shutdown = 16% of a year. Add back in China and Africa as the naughty children and maybe that's where they get 8% from?
-
It's a disappointing number, to be frank.
-
Dont forget half the Amazon Forest and over 100% of Australia was on fire so emissions would of be up billions of %

GREEN Party deputy leader Catherine Martin has sharply criticised “shocking” and “disturbing” comments by the Tánaiste and said there is “unrest” in her party over entering government talks.
Ms Martin has cast fresh doubt over whether the Greens will enter coalition talks with Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael following comments by Tánaiste Simon Coveney that Fine Gael would not sign up to the 7pc carbon emissions reduction target if it “decimates rural Ireland”.
-
Who the fukk would want those left wing liberal cunts in government anyway ?
-
In fairness, she does have a point if what she says is true...
https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/politics/greens-deputy-leader-slams-coveneys-shocking-and-disturbing-comments-39173458.html (https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/politics/greens-deputy-leader-slams-coveneys-shocking-and-disturbing-comments-39173458.html)
Ms Martin described it as a “quite shocking comment” from Mr Coveney as Fine Gael had signed up to this target in government under the Paris Climate Agreement and the EU’s Green Deal plan.
You know the old saying; "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."
At some point, political parties will have to make good on their promises?

Hearing the Greens are acting the Bollox they want to Support Leo for Taoiseach in any new government FF wont have that .
-
Covid payments might be for a few weeks more .My mate in Carlow says Mc Guinness has the numbers there will be no coalition with the Greens .Expect another general election unless there is a change of mind on a National Government .Bit of Covid cash might buy a few votes .
-
Leo has shown pretty strong leadership, I guess. I think DM was even singing his praises at one stage. That has to translate to votes. However, I'll be looking for candidates that advocate tax and spend should an election be called.
-
Mc Guinness recons Martin is a useless boillox he let Leo wipe the Floor with him FG get all the Praise for all the good stuff while FF run around chasing their tails .FF are having a rethink they are thinking FF/SF /indies .Belief in FF is if they go into government without SF they are obsolete after next election .FF wont sign off on any coalition deal .Martin wont stand in next election .So expect a summer election ?

Whats the chances of this happening now? Zero, zilch, nada that's what. Usual shite, say Mass to get in then when they do nothing happens.
-
They also say they want possession of up to 5 grams to be legal. They also want folks to be allowed to grow 2 plants for personal use. How does this work? You'd want to be a pretty shitty grower to be getting a mere 2.5 grams off a plant. Gobshites.
-
Can't see it getting into any programme for Govt but it wouldn't necessarily be a bad idea... not sure about home grown, that'd be hard to tax... but then, so is home brew I guess.
-
They'd still get their tax on the seeds, the soil, the nutrients, the equipment and the power but as you say never gonna happen.
-
Seeds would be the obvious target but can you not grow from cuttings - excuse my ignorance if that's a silly question, I don't have green fingers.

Did there not use to be a joke about miss Piggies fanny and the answer was Green Fingers ?

No or Yes depending on how, or if, one interprets the double negative.

There are two types of cannabis plants. Traditional photoperiods, which only flower after receiving continuous cycles of 12 hours of darkness. These plants you can take cuttings from, once they are in the vegative and not flowering cycle. The other more modern types are auto flowering plants which start flowering when they reach maturity, normally after 3 weeks, regardless of the light schedule. They achieved these types of plants by crossing different strains with strains from siberia and other such places where during summer there is 24 hours of light. The only problem is you cannot take cuttings from auto flowering plants as there life cycle is finite from the day they come up above ground.

That green snot Ryan whats the whole country to get its energy from wind turbines and solar. I hoped he watched Michael Moore's new documentary, planet of the humans its free on youtube and it has pissed the greenies and the left off big time, Michael Moore was a lefty hates trump and has just stabbed them in the back. Plus the media here haven't mentioned or talked about his latest documentary like they did for bowling for columbine and the other big ones he has done, but this latest one not a sound out of them.
-
The acting minister herself Regina Doherty was on the wireless last week, (think it was Kenny) saying that it depended upon how many jobs the taxi driver was doing as to whether he could claim the money. She said that if he was only doing a few jobs a day where he normally did a lot more then he could get the payment and do those few jobs, whereas if his job number was as normal then he could not
-
Well I was on to the dept of employment affairs today, and the guy I spoke to made it CRYSYAL clear that there were absolutely no circumstances in which the covid pandemic payment could be claimed by anyone doing ANY amount of work. He did say that there is another welfare scheme which permits people to work up to 20 hours per week, but that this most certainly does not apply to anyone claiming the covid payment. Anyone being advised on here that they can claim it , is being advised wrongly, so I'd be careful
-
He's wrong. It's there in black and white as published by the Dept. He's also wrong about the 20 hours as far as self-employed is concerned, there is no restriction on self-employed hours if you qualify for Jobseekers Allowance. Ring back and ask to speak to someone who knows what they're talking about.
In fact, Minister Doherty is closer to the mark. The test is defined as "if your trading income has collapsed to the extent that you are available to take up other full-time employment if it was offered to you". See https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/68c144-what-to-do-if-you-are-self-employed-covid-19/ (https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/68c144-what-to-do-if-you-are-self-employed-covid-19/) for further info.
-
BTW, DM. I going to try to explain something quite simple to you as I don't think you understand the payment we are claiming. We are not being paid not to work or to stay at home. We are scrounging off the State because we have concluded that our businesses aren't viable and, as such, we are required to be available to take up other full-time employment if it was offered to us.
-
Rat I have read that, and indeed I know your very knowledgeable in these matters , but the bloke I spoke to was absolutely sure about what he told me . I drew his attention to the depts publication of 3/4/20 he couldn't find it, but continued to state that there is absolutely no circumstances you can claim it while working at the same time.
-
If he can't find their own publications I wouldn't pay a whole lot of attention to him. He's totally wrong anyway... not only on the PUP but also on restricted hours for JA... probably a bloke in his 50s who only found out what telephones are last week and hasn't been trained to turn the computer on yet.
As noted, Minister Doherty seems to know, at least to some extent, what she's talking about.
-
Look I'm not arguing with you about this , I'm only telling you what was told to me by an information officer of the dept . The minister says one thing , yet man I spoke to says another, it's a bit like what you said yourself the other day about the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing
-
Fair enough... but if I was working I would claim as the Minister herself told me to. I'd screenshot the link too just to be sure to be sure.
-
So do you think that people should claim benefits and work at the same time?
-
Greens frighten the shit out of me, they are pretty much anti everything about the Taxi industry
-
So do you think that people should claim benefits and work at the same time?
Yes. That's what all the full-time men that needed the job to feed their families anall done during the last recession... and PUP specifically allows the same.
-

JA and/or FIS.

Just got another copy of a letter from Social Welfare to a taxi driver, who was spotted working, with his roof sign on, advising him that his payments were stopped, and inviting him to return the payments already received. Can't post the letter as it includes his name and PPS number

You reckon its genuine Bob ?

Yes

Did the letter actually say he was spotted working or just that his name was on the driver-link website?
-
If I click it and make it bigger I can read it, why can't y'all? It says that he was spotted working.
-
My bad! I did click on it but only read the first 2 paragraphs and got bored :P That's ok then (from my POV) - they're looking for roofsigns. Mine is in the boot.
-
It says "it would appear that you have an income...". Just give them a ring and explain that you don't as you are trading at a loss.
-
Probably Definitely best if drivers do not work while getting the PUP
-
If you worked for My taxi there is a record of the job but they can also ask you for the last reciept number and then if its fraud they can read your meter every job you ever done is recorded on there .If your legit you can reprint the last reciept and the date and time should be pre you claiming the coin .

The Government are losing Billions of Euro as a result of the virus. The Civil servants are highly stressed, with some having to work up to 8 hours a day now as a result of the virus.
I'm sure the Covid fiddlers will get a sympathetic ear!! 8)

The cuvil service arent the only onesq fukun stressed

Civil servants don't do stress.

No sign of the Civil Service taking pay cuts

It has been reported that the civil service never look out of the window in the morning, otherwise they'd have nothing to do all afternoon!

Greens want to cut emissions by lumps that means less cows that means farmers wont vote FG/FF .Its all about TDs looking after their seat and pensions .Mc Guinness and Baby Dev are threatening to bring down the lot both are Republicans and dont see why FF wont talk with Sinn Fein .The TDs are playing politics as they know the Single Farm Payment is going to be cut due to the UK no longer contributing .I have a docket @8/1 two general elections in Ireland in 2020 .Covid 19,second election ,Brexit add in a Sinn Fein Government by the end of the Year .GET A GUN ....
John Mc Guinness on Ivan Yates last night listen to the man who should be the next leader of FF but wont be .Telling it as it is .The 3 party Green FF/FG COLLISION Government wont happen .
-
Ryan strutting around like the high fella well met....was in Govt when we got thrown under the Troika bus and is negotiating with his "red line" issues to become the meat in the threesome sandwich with one of the parties(FF) who they gladly supported(so they could get their emissions based motor tax over the line) in fuckin us up!!
-
Ive heard all along this is window dressing Greens are not really interested FF wont get the Party to agree so its a National government of FG/SF /labour Wouldnt have a penny on Mick Martin ever being Taoiseach .
-
That's all that matters to Mehole....the Taoiseach trophy....and the pension it attracts.

Anybody wondering why Leo went all Lord of the Rings with his speech yesterday and sped up the opening .I wonder if he is getting ready for another election if things improve people back at work and the Cough gone will he take a punt at another election ?FF are in Bits Greens got most of their seats with SF transfers that wont happen next time .Could Leo think another election FG/SF both get about 60 seats then its up to FF to bend over and get rode .EU printing more money .Think Leo is setting this up for another election for end of July .

It's certainly in his favour to bring forward the reopening of business and get the economy moving sucessfully again.....he'd definitely be viewed in a different light i have no doubt.

GREEN Party deputy leader Catherine Martin has confirmed to party members that she will stand against Eamon Ryan in a leadership contest.
As talks to form a government enter what she described as "a critically important phase" this weekend, Ms Martin has written to members who put her name forward for the forthcoming Green Party leadership election to confirm she is accepting their nomination.
So Leo is going to do a deal with a political party who are going to change their leader ?Might take the 2/1 powers another election this year .Last two weeks of July if the Cough dosent come back .
-
Government formation talks to concentrate on Transport next, god help us
-
Government formation talks to concentrate on Transport next, god help us
I think the week after next if there is no increase in feever then Leo will say the Greens and FF are just acting the cunt there is an impass and the Country needs a government to fight the cough and Brexit and will call a general election for July .
-
A bunch of Senators are taking Leo to court for not allowing them sit and do their work .Judge might tell him if he cant nominate 11 senators then we need another election .
-
He will wait till Sept--everyone in good mood --few quid in their pocket -promises of more cash for anyone not back in work-virus in abeyance as everyone has been out doors--soon as he is elected --we are fucked--
NTA and Leo have identified us as a danger and a virus pool --ie Public Transport to be avoided--how many times have they said it --we are the essential service nobody gives a flying fuck about --
As I said before the entire fleet will be back on street --chasing 20--25% of our former trade --screwing each other while been screwed by our German friends !
If you work for nothing you will never be idle --
Nobody wins on the race to the bottom !
-
He cant wait that long he will go in July if the cough stays away .He can blame FF and the Greens for not going into government if he waits any later he will have to form a government and Mick Martin as Taoiseach will have the power to call the election not Leo .Funny how He or the Early School leaver didnt appear on Radio Eireann or Telly Eireann today to explain why they fast tracked the reopening .They arent explaining then they dont have to stand over the decision if it goes wrong they will blame Ibec for pressuring them to reopen .
-
So Eamo reads an article from the Paper and to make the Point he says N IGGER instead of N***** and the world is up in arms .Half his party think he should resign for LITERALLY saying what the man being interviewed said and not the sanitized Irish Times version and these Fucking Mung Bean munching Sandal wearing Tree huggers think they might form the next government .How long before Dublin GAA supporters are told they are racists because we call Culshies Culshies instead of rural dwelling sports supporters .

This could get Funny Just got an E mail from a Green saying if their party dont have a big majority to support the deal they will put the cat among the Pigeons to lay the blame somewhere elsa .They will support Leo for Taoiseach and not Martin .Cant see FF voting for a FG Taoiseach .
-
What happens if the Shinners Nominate Leo as Taoiseach ,and the othere including FG nominate Mick Martin .FG can hardly vote against their own man .
-
Leo just announced Big Mick from Cork will be top Dog ,he hasent decided which job he will take .Wake up its up to Mick what job he gives you .You just roll over and get your belly rubbed .

Looking forward to a FF led government, they're normally good fun

You might not be wrong 42 especially in Down the Country where the farmers will be looking for a few extra pound while they watch the grass grow and wait on their single farm payments .

Maybe Leo has his eye on Phil Hogans job in Europe--handy,tax free and super pension !

Roy Im the best Political commentator on this Island better than any Journalist writing for any of the Major Titles .I was the First person I know that forecast Brexit in 2012 with the gig you got me in Microsoft .I havent heard any other Major political Jurno say Baby Dev and John Mc Guinness and others will put a stop to this Salad Government .I wouldnt take short odds that this Government will Happen .Leo wants the Office and has set this up for a snap election .If the Huns in Pennys dont get the fever then there is no reason not to hold an election .
-
prepare to meet thy doom

The Bolloxology started already the Newspapers say its a done deal but 3 Green TDs abstained in their party vote .The Government Have a majority of 4 how is that going to be a stable government ,
There are a few on here that are reasonably intelligent so help me understand this dilemma
.Taoiseach ;Sure things are Grand so grand that we are speeding up removing the Lockdown faster than we thought possible Everything is great .
Minister for no work ;Things are so fucking bad we are going to double the amount of weeks we are giving away free money .We havent a clue when the Kids will be back at school .
Early School Leaver :My Department say you should and you shouldnt wear a Mask and we are looking at bringing you togeather with or without a mask by reducing the stay away distance and opening the Gargler if they sell scoff .
Mick the Leader .We have a Programme for guvernment like we had in 1940 .Bikes,houses ,Hospitals Pensions farmers .The sort of issues we always tell you about .
Young Dev :Im delighted to see the Pub the heart of the community reopening as long as they can give you a Feed .It reminds me of when I was above in Dublin going to Catholic University and I would take meself into Mc Gonnagles for a Late Pint and a Four Handed Reel with a few Girdles and You would get the Dinner in the Club because the law said the had to serve food if they wanted the late licence .Tis grand to see we are going backward to the Future me Grandfather would be proud of the Progress we have made as a Republic .

Going to be very hard to pass the NCT on emissions now with that shower the greens involved

Dollyer the first and only time the Greens will influence this Government is when they vote to make Mick the Leader the Leader .Paddy Power offering 1/4 on a Green ,FG.FF coalition that must be the worst odds on shot in the History of betting .Greens need 66% of their Ordinary members to agree they cant get 66% of their TD to vote for it .Eamo is Cycling his Bicycle around and he wants to keep yer one on the Crossbar but she now wants to peddle the Bike on her own .
Young Dev is thinking the Granda took out Collins Ill take out Martin .FF know their Future lies with SF and not with FG but Mick the Leader knows HIS future lies with FG .
Sesamy Street in Merrion Street .Sing along if you know the words .Oh one of these things is not like the other one of these things just dosent belong can you guess which ting is not like the other before I finish my song .

John seriously I nearly pissed meself with the laughing.your bleedin gas .ill never forget the one about the two lads from donegal who were on the building site in england and they singin noreen bawn.I actually nearly chocked that time from laughing.its dangerous for me to read your posts when im eating
-
Seriously Dalymount Look at what they are offering .Its so 1940 .Bikes ,Social housing ,Trams,Hospitals .Will they restart the Sweep Stakes Draw ?Walking tracks .Reminds me of the Legendary Lord Mayor of Dublin Alfie Byrne who once said we will supply shoes to every child in the City including the footless .We are actually going Backward to Go forward .Look at old Black and White photos of College Green with Trams bikes horses just like today .Im thinking should I get meself a long Camel hair overcoat and a Trilby now before they become fashionable again and will the Girls from the Flats start wearing headscarves that they can turn into facemasks when they go into Pennys .I bet Frawleys ,Guineys ,Clearys ,Mc Birneys Kilmartins the Bookies wish they could of held on long enough to see how much we progressed since 1940 .Sure mow we have the Good Rona disease to replace TB .More people out of work now than in 1940.Its a fucked up world but Ill watch How Green Is my valley later on on netflix to cheer meself up .

Listening to the Lad on TV 3 he is coming around to my way of thinking that Leo is hoping the Greens crash the deal and New election .Ask yourself why if the Gaff is getting better they are extending the Covid Payments .Trying to buy an election?

Good to see investment in the promotion of cycling and walking. If COVID '19 has taught us anything it's that we need to reduce reliance on public transport, in particular taxis.

I've just had a thought , if the government do away with despatchers then all the pax have to walk out out of where ever to get themselves a taxi.

Two I know more than that died over the same time including my mother in Law she was 94 died from medical issues but if she was in a nursing home with Phnewmonia they would of recorder Covid as the cause of death .Im beginning to agree with Doc its bollox ,Big Business are Profiting buying good stock for cents on the Dollar .

Looks like the Greens are going to take the bait and Form a Government .Im not a Shinner but if the Greens FG/FF form a government its the end of the beginning for Irish Politics .The Shinners were never even spoken to .A democratically elected Political party ignored .BUT the Government will form an UNELECTED Citizens Convention to hide behind and let them Suggest we have a Same sex Referendum and an Abortion Referendum because the Elected Dail hadnt got the Balls to propose the Motions .A power grab by the Old civil war parties aided by the Hippies Mung Bean Munching Bike Nazies .After Covid the Environment is the Biggest issue facing the country and the Greens have just agreed to be exterminated by the Irish Political system for the appearance of progress ..TIME TO GET A GUN when the only party with any Principle are Sinn Fein .

It may not happen.the green membership may not ratify the deal

It will be Close Dalymount very close But the Country needs a Government and to Exclude the Shinners because of their Revolutionary Violence by two Parties who were born out of the Exact same Revolutionary violence in Fact both Fine Fail and Fine Gael are the Bastard children of Sinn Fein both Grew out of Splits within the Original Sinn Fein Party of 1919 .FF are Dieing this is their Swansong .Covid Brexit ,new Digital tax law will mean next election they might not even get enough elected members to get Speaking rights in the Dail just like the dying embers of the Labour Party .After this Parliament the Next one will be a split along most Parliamentary lines, of Left led by SF and Right (conservative ) led by FG .I wonder what price Gerry Adams is to be the next President he must now be the Favourite to follow in the footsteps of Sean T ,Childers Douglas Hyde and the Chief of Staff Dev .

The current Sin Fein Party founded in 1970 as the Marxist political wing of a terrorist organisation should not be associated with the original Sin Fein which is better represented by FF and FG.
The violence you mention is far more recent and dwells not too far under the surface of many current Sin Fein party members, I've no problem with parties not wanting to deal with them.
-
Or did the Original Sinn Fein not just evolve Politically to suit todays Political requirements where as the FG/FF wings just went for political power years ago and aped what they saw in Great Britain .With the exception of Neutrality we almost copied British Domestic Policies word for word .Bertie the Socialist copier Thatcher the Conservatives Right to Buy your council house .One of the Great Mysteries in Irish Politics is why the Labour party never became a force .I often think it was because in General we dont do Class Politics .The Profit from the People and the Shinners saw that gap in the market .They played the 1% against the rest even though most of the Top men and women on the Left had privliged upbringings .I met Brendan Corish in the 1970s and was talking to him and he tild me at the time he became leader of Labour he was the only elected TD with a leaving cert the rest of the Party were workers but then like now the inteligencia like Dr Noel Brown Connor Cruise O Brien saw a way in to the Dail on the tails of working stiffs .I take your Point about more recent violence but does any voter under 40 remember watching Police Messages on UTV in the middle of Cornation Street do thy care .There is a political window of about 40 years in everybodies life Before your twenty your to young or not interested in voting after 60 you learned your vote dosent count .Todays voters are voting for today not for the past and probably not even for the future .I just think the Greens will be wiped so will FF .This Dail is the Death that leads to the Birth of new Politics in Ireland .

+1. id rather the greens with 100% power, us all on penny farthings than have that shower of low life criminals anywhere near government.
The thing that gets me about the shinners is mary lou isnt even a real sinn feiner, she could just have easily joined any other party, she is middle class, went to Trinity, then you see her with her fist in the air and coming out with republican slogans etc its embarrassing stuff.
Going for the easy protest votes then, sure people are never happy with the government in power.
-

She was a FF before she joined SF.

I thought that alright. I hope that party never get to run the country. The normal people who left other parties to vote for them in the last election should be ashamed of themselves.
-
FF should of offered the Shinners a Coalition keep them in check now next Election Mary Lou starts favourite to be Taoiseach in fact she will be a smaller price to be Taoiseach that Mick Martin will be to get re elected .We are heading for Cuba without the Sunshine .SF must be delighted with the Greens even though the Greens won most of their seats on the Dregs of SF transfers they have used those seats to elevate SF into power next time .IF and its an IF this government lasts till next October2021 I will be amazed .I have posted on here for years BREXIT will kill us as a country .The Brits still blame us for the Loss of their Empire not going to do us any favours EU Know we are tax robbing low life scum also not going to do us any Favours .Maybe a SF government will bring a new morality to Irish Governments that has been lacking under the last lot .As I say Im not a Shinner but I dont like the way they were just excluded from any democratic debate on the formation of a government I think that was a mistake or possibly Dictatorship by the Incumbents .

Sorry to hear that. I recall him posting that his father was in hospital and you enquiring some time after if anyone had heard from him since. Please pass on my sincere condolences should the opportunity arise.
There's nothing suppressing your PMs... although I think there is a facility for members to ignore (or automatically reject) messages from any other members.
-
Well I certainly pass on your condolences if at all possible rat,but I have sent a few PMs to the erm,and one or two others .they were all nice PMs,and I would have thought I would have received a reply on at least 3 of them.this is why I was wondering did they send at all.also I checked my sent box,and there is nothing in it
-
Make sure the "Save a copy in my outbox" checkbox is ticked. I think it's unchecked by default but once you check it for one message it should stay checked.

Ok thanks will do

Ermy im not at all sure the green membership is going to vote in favour of participating in government.when is the vote anyway ?
-
results on friday
-
How about this Dalymount .The Greens vote not to go into government .Leo is Proposed as Taoiseach by FG and is supported by FF and the Greens .He appoints 11 senators .The Dail votes on extending the offences against the State Act .its sent to the senate for ratification then Leo goes to the Park and calls a General election .I really cant see it working out with those three parties .There would be more arguments and fights than in a Gypsy campsite .
-
I concur----all these Friday Virus press conferences should be seen for what they are --blatant electioneering --there will another next Friday with more reopening news--Leo our Savior !
Hope I am wrong as the country badly needs a Government.
-
Punter .Two weeks ago it all changed and everything was sped up but they also extended the Covid Payments seems strange to do that if things are returning to normal .The Early School leaver or Leo never went on radio or telly to explain the change of direction or the medical advice for the change .FG on 37% in the polls Leos approval rating sky high his ego is Huge .If they go again Fg get about 60 SF high 50s FF become king makers with low 20s Greens get 2 profit from the people 2 Lad and Soc dems less than 10 between them .Much easier to put togeather a government with that sort of numbers than the Dollymixture of Nutters that are there Now .
-
Throw in David Noris,and it brings a whole new meaning to a RAINBOW coalition
-
Looking at the Telly and reading papers .This deal wont be agreed .I get the impression a lot of Green TDs stood as a protest vote never thought or wanted to be elected they dont fear losing their seats .
-
I hope your right,the YOUNG green voters dont seem to be in favour of the deal
-
I hope your right,the YOUNG green voters dont seem to be in favour of the deal

Well I DO want a government in place,but NOT one that involves green participation.they are no friends of motorists generally,and CERTAINLY no friends of taxi drivers

Whats the Green Taxi Policy .I would think they will introduce congestion charges increase fuel tax and Vrt put a lot of private motorists off the road create more work for us .

You cant beat Gene Kerrigan for honesty ....Green Party members have been studying the proposed Fianna Fail/Fine Gael programme for government. Such diligence is necessary, laudable and a waste of time.

Are RTE researchers reading my posts .This exact question word for word was put to Willie O Dea this morning on RTE .
-
And there under starters orders ....Nothing can be ruled out, including a second general election this year, if parties do not vote to pass the draft government deal, the Tanaiste has said.
Simon Coveney said, however, that he is a positive person and believes the deal can be approved.
-
Id say its 50_50 the greens seem more sceptical of it then the other pair.plus the greens have to get two thirds to approve it,thats a big ask
-
If the Greens say No and I think they will .Then what .Offences against the state act must be renewed .Only option is Others agree to vote for Leo as Taoiseach so he can appoint the 11 senators that are needed to approve any Dail legislation .Then the old unelected ministers like Ross and Docherty get replaced Leo might take on all the Ministries so no new appointees then he goes to see Little Mickey in the Park and looks for another election .If that happens under Paddy Power betting rules the Next government is a FG Minority Government priced at 55/1 .I just had a small bet just in case .I also notice the odds on a second election this year have been cut to 13/8 it was 8/1 and the odds on the Troica forming a government has also been cut .Crazy times demand crazy solutions .

Is Leo now reading my Posts ....Mr Varadkar said he did not rule out being elected again as Taoiseach for a day so he could appoint 11 Senators to the new Seanad, but said it is not something he desires.

SO 20% of FG VOTED NO ..The Programme for Government has been approved by the Fine Gael Electoral College.
The overall result was 80% in favour and 20% against. The total vote cast was 674, meaning a turnout of 95%.
The breakdown of the vote is as follows:
Parliamentary Party
Approved: 90%
Not approved: 10%
Council of Local Representatives
Approved: 57%
Not approved: 43%
-
No surprise there,they were always going to vote in favour.its rhe green vote we're interested in

The surprise is 20% of the Sheeple voted No .

Paddy Power just stopped betting on another general election this year ?do they know something ?

Dollyer that 20% is huge remember the TDs and Senators have 50% of the vote they voted yes so that 20% represents 40% of the Free vote .On that basis the Greens should vote NO .
-
I hope so
-
Im hearing 68% yes for the greens .
-
Thats not enough is it ?

Done deal, we have a government, good news!

This is without a doubt the end of the Greens comes the next election.
They can no longer be classed as a "left" party.
The next Government will be and still be the Government of the developers and landlords.

contingency plans that all parties, even the shinners, agreed with at the time, they're going in with their eyes wide open with regard to Covid costs, money is cheap at the moment and our grandkids will pay (and with the effect of inflation not really notice)
It'll be a nice excuse for increasing taxes all the same though, particularly with doom merchants constantly reminding us

How will it work you ask. Look at whats just happened. The 2 civil war partys came together to keep the shinners out.
If Micheal Martin didnt become Taoiseach he would have been the first FF leader not to be Taoiseach.
FFs core belief is that they are "the Government", it is their "right" to be in Government.They will sel their souls to be in power and thats exactly what they have done now.
Fianna Failers are a quare bunch (dalymount will love me using that term),once a Fianna Failer always a Fianna Failer.
I use to have a mate who was a FFer, you could not say one bad word about them. He was the typical, arrogant, ignorant, misogynistic man, all the things needed to be one.
FG after the election wanted to be in opposition Leo said it. But when the likelihood was a Sinn Fein Gov,they too, sold their souls to join with FF
As for the Greens, they are biggest turn coats since a former taxi union rep became something else.
There wont be enough room in a phone box for them after the next election.
When it comes down to it, as Kelly (labour leader) said "Power is a drug".
Thats why this will work.

Do you mean to continue to work like it has..I see reality for what it is and Ermy sees the bigger Ponzi scheme too.I dont just spread doom and gloom...Life will go on?...but if my car crashes into a wall...I dont go out and fill it with putty ...I deal with reality......Shit!I have real things to do...

WILL IT LAST ,,,,,,,Dublin Central TD Neasa Hourigan resigned the Green Party whip ahead of her decision to vote against the Government’s legislation on rent freezes and eviction ban for those impacted by Covid-19.
On Thursday in the Dáil, Ms Hourigan backed a Labour Party amendment which would have extended the legislation to all tenants.
The Dublin Central TD has confirmed she took the decision to abdicate her position as her party’s whip before the vote.
She has said she informed her party’s executive council by writing to tell them of her decision.
While Ms Hourigan has said it is not her intention to leave the Green Party, she has said it is now up to the party to decide her fate.
"I have significant concerns as to the impact of this legislation on levels of homelessness across the state. I do not believe it takes into account the scale of the Coronavirus pandemic and the need to keep people safe in their homes. Eviction due to sale is directly in conflict with Green Party policy and so I am unable to support this bill," she said.
Ms Hourigan also voted against the government on multiple amendments to the bill.

The house of cards ....THURSDAY, JULY 30, 2020 - 22:15 PM
DANIEL MCCONNELL AND AOIFE MOORE
One of the Government's own junior ministers abstained on a vote on one of its own bills.
The position of two leading Green Party TDs hung in the balance after they failed to back the Government’s position on a bill relating to evictions and rent freezes.
Green Party junior minister Joe O’Brien abstained on the final vote of the Residential Tenancies Bill which was being debated in the Dáil after his party colleague Neasa Hourigan voted against it.
A senior Government source told the Irish Examiner: “It is very hard to see how his position can be justified. It undermines the stability of the whole coalition. While there may be sympathy for Joe personally, you just can’t do that as a minister.”
“The decision of a junior minister of a government to fail to support its own legislation is a very serious situation and normally is a signal of a willingness to resign from office,” said one senior government source.
The Green Party were struggling to contain the fall-out of the situation as a meeting of the parliamentary party took place to discuss the impact of Mr O’Brien and Ms Hourigan’s decision.
In a statement released on social media, Mr O’Brien said: “Re tonight's vote: The issue of homelessness is an extremely important one for me, I’ve worked in the area, I’ve been a whistleblower in the area, I have friends who work in the NGOs and I feel we need to do everything we can to tackle it. I’m elected in part to be a legislator.”
“I wasn’t convinced that this piece of legislation was the best we could have done in what are, to be fair, unusual circumstances. This was mainly due to its extremely rushed nature. I had read enough and heard enough to make it clear to me that it could have been stronger in terms of preventing and reducing homelessness. The issue here was not dedicating sufficient time to a piece of legislation that could have profound consequences on people's lives,” he said.

“I knew my vote was not going to defeat the bill but I felt I also had to give a signal that how it was done was not good enough,” he said.
The Irish Examiner has confirmed that the three party leaders – Eamon Ryan, Taoiseach Micheál Martin and Tánaiste Leo Varadkar – spoke about Mr O’Brien’s abstention and it is understood they agreed to allow this remain an internal Green Party matter.
The sense was that it would be unfair to seek his head for what was termed a first offence.
Earlier: Neasa Hourigan resigns as Green Party whip before voting against Govt
By Daniel McConnell, Political Editor
Dublin Central TD Neasa Hourigan resigned the Green Party whip ahead of her decision to vote against the Government’s legislation on rent freezes and eviction ban for those impacted by Covid-19.

Ms Hourigan also voted against the government on multiple amendments to the bill.
Meanwhile, Junior minister and Dublin Fingal TD Joe O’Brien abstained in the final vote on his own government’s Bill.
The fate of Ms Hourigan and Mr O'Brien were the topic of discussion at a parliamentary party meeting of the Greens on Thursday night.

The green party punished them by banning them from speaking in the Dáil for 8 weeks. It's closing down for 6 weeks so no worries there.

Wait till September when they try pass a budget .Think Dollymount is onto something .You own a second gaff you bought for your pension sinking all you savings into the deposit and some yoke getting Covid Coin and the HAP dosent pay the rent you cant evict them .and today the Banks announced they are no longer paying interest and will actually charge you to hold your money that they will lend for profit .So you got 100k lump sum from your pension that you paid over your working life and the banks wont pay you interest on it .Think Big Dommo was right hasent worked since he finished his Anco early school leavers course in 1978.The Greens ,SF,Labour couldnt vote to extend this as it wasent extended for long enough .

Bank of Ireland is to impose negative interest rates on cash held in pensions, in a move that will hit people saving for their retirement hard.
The move represents the first time negative rates will have been charged to consumers.

NOW WATCH THE GREENS ....The Supreme Court has quashed the 2017 National Mitigation Plan on the basis that it does not provide enough detail about how the State will reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The case against the State was brought by Friends of the Irish Environment.
So they had a sort of deal but now they have nothing with Friends like that the environment is fucked .
