Can you please desist from reporting on the greens,their tweeting,utter incompetence and arrogance,I find myself feeling physically sick anytime I see an article on them...they will be gone soon enough,they are as utterly irrelevant now as they will be in 6 months when consigned to a brief but nasty footnote in the history of this once great State.

Willie O'Dea should stop being hypocritical. The Greens 'tweeting and blogging' about cabinet business is no more 'corrosive of the government' than his own party's TDs going on the media to disavow policies which the voted for in the Dail.

Ah yes Willie O'Dea....we had to wait for him to be sacked from his ministerial position before he actually decided to do some good for the people....and now he has done something useful...expose the Greens as a bunch of hypocrites....but we already knew this already....therefore what Willie did was of reduced value....effectively O'Dea was only telling us what we already knew.

The response from the Boyle was predicatable. The Greens and Boyle have still not been transparent as to why they put their rejected councillors into state jobs...as highlighted in an earlier edition of the Sunday Tribune. There is no way that you can spin that sort of behaviour....even Boyle is incapable of talking his way out of that...

In Relation to the article Greens Blasts O 'Dea regards Late Late Show attack - Mr Boyle show be more worried about the Blasting the Greens will receive from the electorate after all the taxes and hardship they have imposed on the Irish People and their intention also to bring in Water Rates and whatever other taxes they can think of to hardpress us even further
Get off the Stage Boyle - make sure your leader and the rest of the Greens are on that Stage plus your FF buddies the Irish Electorate are no longer Green - we have long meomories !!

This was a disgraceful late late show-bit like the one where Brian Lenihan launched his presidential bid. Reasons for his sacking were not gone into at all, and it was obvious he had a clique of his own in the audience to applaud him. Shame on RTE

Drunken Fools

Something that has been completely missed by the media is the fact that this drink-in was paid for by the Tax Payer from the Conferencing and Entertainment budget that exists in Dail Eireann......

Doling Out The Classics

Yesterday I had the inevitable task of accompanying my nephew to the Social Welfare Office so as I could assist him with form filling as he applied for the Back to Education Allowance. I can’t remember when I was in the Social Welfare Office last, the queues are certainly longer, however, I was surprised at the improvements in terms of a ticket system for queuing and so forth.

In the background the classics were played on the public address system and a small group of Traveller men tapped their feet to the sound of Beethoven. The Social Welfare Office which is often viewed as a place that is full of depression and empty of hope seemed to be presenting a more professional front. There were clearly a substantial number of mature men and women applying to return to education, and that has to be good.

Groups of children played on the floor with the array of leaflets that were advertising various courses and training opportunities, I wondered why these children were not at school, many being of a foreign origin. Still they amused themselves by playing Snap, and as the leaflets were all similar there were small disputes about who had Snapped and who had not.

One woman of African origin was teaching her child Irish by pointing to the signage and saying “Signing” “Sinin”, at least she was trying. My ticket number was 983 which was not very encouraging, especially as the front pages of all the papers were still talking about Brian Cowen’s drunken frolics. Because we were so far down the queue we had to queue in the rain for at least an hour, the queue was so long that I was able to pop into the bookies and do a couple of trebles for the Euro millions. The CCTV was monitoring everyone’s movements, I suppose waiting for some of the un-easy horde to make a break from the ranks and run at the re-enforced glass demanding their rights.

The Interview rooms of to the left have glass panels down one side where both the interviewer and interviewee are easily viewed. One young male interviewer was clearly being out-talked by a tracksuit clad single mother; the fresh faced lad was clearly being dropped in at the deep end so that he could learn his trade. He nodded politely, but it was clear that he would not be making any serious decisions, as the single mother pointed at her child’s shoes, that child almost foot bare as she played on the floor. When the mother left the interview room, the child’s good shoes were taken from the bottom of the Maclaren buggy and the old shoes were slipped back into the imitation Gucci bag.

To the right of the Social Welfare Office there is a big sign directing those for medical assessment to proceed by way of the lift to meet with the Inspectors. This is a panel that decides if people on disability benefit are entitled to continue receiving that payment. Those entering the lift reminded me of those old movies where people on the Star Ship Enterprise

Seems like finna fail have rte as there own private network these days, What better way to get the public attention off brian cowan than put another idiot on.
