    As a Limerickman I am privy to inside information on Michael Noonan and his muppets in Fine Gael and there are whispers down here that Tuesdays Budget will propose a new disc on the Car windscreen to show that the radio in the car is fully licensed. The disc will cost €50.00 per year and the proceeds will go to Michaels food budget.

    What I heard on this side of the Emerald Isle is that the disc is been intergrated into the windscreen and. That has to be replaced each year,along with the wipers.

    now mrs heaney from the corner shop told mrs murphy that the ‘new’ windscreens will be welded into the car body so as they cant be removed, this means you’d have to replace your car every january 1st, but they also plan to being in the nct to any vehicles more than 20 minutes old and a milage reading of over 10 miles would be a fail !

    And who will go in instead of them? The only ones left are the ones that got us into the mess, so is not that people don’t care is that there are no other options.

    Does The Journal have any report on the Pre Budget Protest that took place in Dublin yesterday Marian? Probably not, because it was a turnout of PEACEFUL protesters, from every walk of life, who are seriously worried and concerned over what this next savage budget will bring on Tuesday. Maybe we should have thrown in a few scuffles, then perhaps all the newspapers would have been happy to report on ‘Violent incidents on the streets of Dublin’….. the usual strategy to discourage the people of Ireland from showing their opposition towards this government and their draconian austerity measures.

    Graduates only for the Seanad – unless you’re a mate of a minister. Why?
