Saying you don’t want to take sides in a genocide is taking a side Duff. Such bollox. You said I was an apologist for genocide, you couldn’t find a single example of me defending the genocide. The kind of childish simplistic thinking that would have you voting for an absolute disgrace like Catherin...

Duff Paddy

There you go mate, describing a genocide as ‘going too far’ and pontificating that there’s two sides to what’s happening. So not apologising for Israeli actions at all. Nice try kid.

Yep. Although the cynic in me wonders if an unofficial objective was to force as much chaos and suffering on the Palestinians as a form of basic retribution, regardless of how much damage is done to Hama. Old school burn the city to the ground and salt the ruins. The level of violence and contempt ...

But it wasn’t a support trip and she has condemned the regime? Again, no nuance for the sake of mud slinging. Shit like this loaded question: https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/id-have-to-think-about-it-catherine-connolly-responds-to-question-on-whether-she-would-employ-convicted-rapist-in-aras/...

I'm pretty cynical at the best of times but where does this show support of the Assad regime? In 2018, at a time when the Assad regime, assisted by Putin's Russia, was slaughtering civilians, she visited Syria in the company of those two Putin stooges Wallace and Daly. She toured the regime held ci...

However, she insisted that there must be a referendum on any decisions to change the terms of Ireland’s neutrality. "Neutrality is not in our Constitution,” she said :?: She means that we should have a constitutional referendum on putting our neutrality into the constitution. How stupid can you get...

Connolly is much more presidential.

If there is anything to learn from this election, it’s that the major left parties need to combine to have any chance of going into power.

You want a Hamas sympathiser in the Aras says it all

Is there increased non capital spending? The one off measures last year were a few billion. Yep. State pension to increase. Tax breaks for builders. VAT reduction for the likes of McDonalds is just mental. The Vat and builder thing is at least somewhat beneficial. And doesn't amount to more than th...

Duff Paddy

In what way is a giveaway budget being touted? Practically nothing for the general public. Small bits for low income/welfare people with the main giveaway being the vat reduction. No one off payments. Not a giveaway for the middle classes granted but in terms of increased non capital spending. The ...

Budget day lads. To hell with the ESRI and their recommendations to be fiscally responsible. A giveaway budget is being touted, there is going to be a lot of pain when the corporation tax receipts inevitably decline. We never learn. In what way is a giveaway budget being touted?

A lot of misinformation on this thread. Good article here

I can't believe those dastardly judges keep applying the law. But without sufficient consideration of the common good which is why the law is being changed to specifically ensure that they do. I see that O'Callaghan is considering banning third party funding of litigation as well as he thinks it's ...

This is the consequence now - nobody will want to go near politics in case the media dig something up from 20 years ago. I’m not defending what Galvin did but RugbyNut and his Ditch crew of online warriors trying to cancel everyone they disagree with is only going to end badly. He didn’t use a wron...

All I said was that it's a bit bizarre he'd deny it, if the story is fully true, as no one is going to buy that he didn't remember he owed thousands. This exact playbook has worked for FF/FF for the last 100 years. Let he who hasn’t shafted a tenant or two cast the first stone. There’ll be nobody l...

The obvious question is was that extra 6 months of rent declared to the revenue.

Duff Paddy

Yeah it’s a shocker to be fair. I was more thinking €3,500 for 6 months rent? Bargain! Wasn't the full rent tbf. All very odd though. Straight up 'I have no recollection of that matter' from Gavin or something more to it because how you forget you owed someone thousands is bizarre. It’s not bizarre...

Duff Paddy

No wonder the fucker chose FF. I wonder did MM encourage him to go with the ‘no recollection’ defence. "Jim and Jennifer Gavin celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary next Tuesday. In the middle of his presidential election campaign, their first family home together has now cropped up. When the Ga...

Wouldn't be like you to go for a reductive take for the sake of a reaction. Fighter jets are a very expensive solution to drones. The answer will be in interceptor drones that are being pioneered in Ukraine. No-one ever promotes Eurofighters or F35s as a long term answer to that question. Jets woul...

Poor Cammy may not get his dream of a load of fighter jets for Ireland. Piece on radio 1 this morning about the drone attack on Copenhagen airport- the Danes have just dropped a load of cash on new fighter jets and now they’re wondering what use are fighter jets for drone based warfare. Wouldn't be...

The Sindo/Ireland thinks poll has Connolly 32% Humphries 23% Gavin 15% Undecided 31% Depressing. Social media has got behind Connolly - the usual heavily edited content to make her look good and ignore all of the genuinely awful things she has come out with - hopefully that young vote won’t bother ...

Was always going to happen when a fascist terrorist group like Hamas begin to weaken. What a f**ked up place though.

There are those in certain GOV Departments for whom the occupant of the Big House matters more than others, who spent 14 long years in damage limitation/mitigation mode, who may yet end up fondly remembering the good old Migeldee years. I genuinely would struggle to give any of those candidates the...

It does appear that Schumer and jeffries are going to shut the government down. This rarely works out well and their plan is likely to blow up in their faces making this worse for the dems. If that is even possible. Trump has politicised and corrupted every arm of the state. But the Dems are the pr...

Personally I think the sooner he retires and simplifies his overheads the better ... Are you sure you're the right person for this role? Indeed. It’s a pretty nasty verdict.

Some big changes int he last 15minutes.

Pretty obvious who is to blame, the arrogance of Mcginley telling every why Donald is such a success yesterday and the behaviour of Fattie Lowry.

What an idiot
