Title: I told you get somebody elected
Post by: john m on June 04, 2020, 10:09:41 am
Independent TDs have been offered deals similar to that given to former Kerry Independent Jackie Healy-Rae to support a coalition between Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and the Green Party.

The offer was made at a meeting between Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin, Taoiseach and Fine Gael leader Leo Varadkar and Green Party leader Eamon Ryan and Independents.

The meeting was attended by TDs Marian Harkin, Michael Fitzmaurice and Michael McNamara. A separate meeting with the nine-strong Regional Group of Independents is due to take place on Thursday.

Mr Varadkar said the deals would be similar to those offered to Mr Healy Rae and Mildred Fox, a former Wicklow Independent, by Bertie Ahern in the past.

Such an arrangement would involve local deals for individual TDs as well as access to government ministers. The Taoiseach is understood to have said the Fine Gael-Independent minority government operated similar deals.

Reform of carbon tax is latest sticking point in government formation talks
Are we there yet? The seven sticking points in government formation talks
Programme for government must include 'fiscal responsibility' – Varadkar
The Independents were told they would be given a programme for government when it was agreed, and they were left with the impression that they would be supporting an administration from outside. It is understood that no ministerial posts or committee chairs were offered.

Crucial juncture
The offer from the three party leaders comes at a crucial juncture in the negotiations on a programme for government. One source said that the “mood has soured in the last week”, while another source, from another party, acknowledged that “a bit of gloom has descended over the whole thing”. However, sessions on finance and transport were said to be more positive on Wednesday.

Sources still say a deal is possible, but achieving the Greens’ demands of a 7 per cent annual reduction in greenhouse gas emissions is still a significant problem in the talks.

Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil have particular problems with proposed reductions in the agriculture sector, where some Green proposals are “undeliverable”, sources in both parties say.

     

The Greens have made clear that the 7 per cent reduction is a red line for the party, and they must have credible paths to achieve it if they are to sign up for a deal.

One of the other issues is a demand that 20 per cent of transport infrastructure budgets be spent on walking and cycling. This would be in addition to a Green demand that all transport spending be split on a 2:1 basis in favour of public transport over roads.

However, there is optimism that differences on the public finances can be resolved, despite differing views within the parties.

One senior figure in Fianna Fáil warned that the country would face a “full-blown political crisis” if there was no agreement on a programme for government next week, while a senior Fine Gael source acknowledged there is a belief in the party that it could benefit from another general election.

I went to the Transport club with a proposal it was simple .The Dail Constituency of Dublin South Central had 3 local authority areas Drimnagh /Ballyfermot .2 Crumlin Kimmage 3 Dublin South City .The year I suggested we run ,5 independents were elected in those 3 wards .The Present make up of the Dail TD are Two Independents ,one shinner and a Green .There was at least one Council seat if not two available if we got them then the Big Parties would of sat up and took notice ..

We could of looked at areas like Coolock Ballymun Finglas plenty of Taxi drivers and their families in those areas 1600 votes would of gotten you the last council seats in any of those Wards .

Do you think the Gay rights people just gave up because they thought they could not influence political decision makers ?As I said to many old scores to be settled in this game same faces turn up all the time .

The Greens have the momentum at the moment.  No way a taxi-supporting politician would get traction.  The AA represents the ordinary 'working joe' and nobody (apart from Newstalk) pays any attention to them.

Most of the pols on DCC are publicly supportive of bike lanes & all that shite at the moment because they see the way the public is leaning.  Nasty bug keeping them at home.  Fresh air and cycling is the way to go!

So Margret Nugent from the Flats is going to the Offlicence and Donal the Spanner is heading back from the chipper to the flats at some stage they are going to pass each other the Footpath is just wide enough   to observe the distancing but at the point they meet there is a cyclist passing as well does he have to be two meters away from the nearest pedestrian .?

Probably best to keep a 2km distance from Donal and Margret....being from the flats anall!!
Title: Re: I told you get somebody elected
Post by: watty on June 04, 2020, 07:52:09 pm
The cyclist probably should have crossed over to the other side of the road.  If it's the Margret Nugent I'm thinking of, she'd probably swing her bag of cans and knock the cyclist out.  Donal would steal the bike and as they walked down the street, he'd say to Mary that the cyclist should have keep 2 metres away from her.

Later on when the cyclist woke up, he'd think to himself, 'why can't I socially distance myself from these people?'

I was at that meeting  jum walden was too  taxi drivers for change I think     if I remember u were asked to stand john and ya said no
The driver fro. Palmerston cant remember his name great speaker died during his  hip operation    he was our best hope

I wasent asked to stand .I was actually told to fuck off the Shinners were going to look after us .The Problem was certain individuals saw themselves as the New head honcho El Geranalisimo running a Union getting big wages and Pension the new Gorman .No rep ever had any interest in the workers they just wanted to be the leader getting coin out of it .If you remember what happened after that meeting they drove to the taxithingey office and invaded .No plan no demand just a reaction ,that put an end to any real chance of winning support .Thats always been the Problem Certain people wanted to take over from Gorman and others wanted to settle old scores .As I posted in another tread  Dublin trade will be down about 30% for a few years add in traffic restrictions that will put off even more people coming in to town and more people working from home .I think Frankie once said this is a part time Gig .Costs now plus 15% commission Sorry to say I cant see this industry supplying an income for a family good job if your hen is working and you are looking after the kids .

The time to try get elected was 10 years ago .Brid Smith ,Vinno Ballyfermot Jackson .Joan Collins .Paul Hand nobody heard of them 10 years ago .Profit from The People were not heard of Shinners couldnt get Councillors elected but look how all that changed .

I remember that meeting in the transport club also.one or two mouth peices rallied the troops,and with that all out the door,and over to invade the NTA offices.ridiculous no thought,structure,or anything else.the idiots who done it,actually jeopardized their homes,and families by taking such ludicrous action.I remember another occasion Frank Byrne standing up in town ,and preaching to the drivers about certain commitments he,and his colleagues had extracted from the NTA. It turned they won fukk all concessions.I believe the erm would be as good as any to negotiate on our behalf.he and the rat would be a formidable team,along with a few other experienced drivers of say 25/30 years in the game who would know what they are talking about.but I suppose to make any REAL difference,they would have to be looking at election to DCC

I wasent asked somebody else who didnt want to stand was afraid if somebody else got elected they would become the De facto leader so fucked it up ..Nobody who stood as a Taxi candidate could get elected but if you ran local football clubs and youth groups and had the support of drivers willing to knock doors and just get themselves their family and friends to the voting places free lifts we could on taken a seat in each Ward no problem .

Some day if we ever meet up Ill tell you exactly what went on  .

I still tink ur missing the point
It's too small a issue to get elected on and generally the public hate us
It want to be a big family to get us elected in.one area
The point I'm making is big political names with money and teams behind them struggle to get elected sometimes
Image knocking on doors pushing a taxi issue in areas destroyed by drugs and unemployment it's a joke

The hse .unemployment.  water .homeless all hot issues
Taxis ?? Who cares except us

As I said lobby a existing td  these not enough of us or the interest publicly for us
We are a non issue to everybody including the nta

Thats exactly the way you do it Dalymount Your the Drivers candidates but you run on local issues like water charges or bin charges or save the swimming pool the Drivers vote is your base .Gets you far enough up the result sheet to be able to pick up transfers .But that ship sailed 10 years ago .Shinners and Greens now get the anti vote vote .The opportunity was 10 years ago back when every Shinner knew how to fire a Rifle or wire a device or every Green had an allotment and not a First Class Honours degree from UCD ,Dublin city council will turn the City into a cycle track where we cannot work but we knew this and we did nothing .

I got a taxi as my pension get the state few quid and taxi for change but I dont think thats going to be possible .In ten years we will need electric cars payment will be by card and work by app bif companies will own the trade jusy like Paddy Power and Boylesports own the book making trade in Ireland .

My thoughts exactly .state pension for domostic bills,taxi for groocery shopping.unfortunately thats changed now.the expense of staying in the industry,does not justify the cost of it ,and to make it worse,if you dont join a dispatcher,you have no chance,and if you do join a dispatcher,you'll be expected to provide a screen in your car at your own expense,which may,or may not pass the reinvent NCT,suitability,insurance tests

In an Instagram post, the graffiti artist, who rose to fame for his provocative street art, wrote:
 
“At first I thought I should just shut up and listen to black people about this issue. But why would I do that?  It’s not their problem, it’s mine.  People of colour are being failed by the system.  The white system.  Like a broken pipe flooding the apartment of the people living downstairs.  The faulty system is making their life a misery, but it’s not their job to fix it.  They can’t – no-one will let them in the apartment upstairs.  This is a white problem.  And if white people don’t fix it, someone will have to come upstairs and kick the door in.”
