Kenny bags himself a nice blonde at the Ard Fheis
I hope Lucinda doesn’t get jealous!
Ya would . The blondes not bad either
Anybody else think she looks like a really, really, really young Anne Doyle?
That’s Lucinda there behind him sher, slipping the knife out of his back and about to stick it in to the girls. She’s hogging her Enda, the same Enda she was quick to stab in the back only months ago. God politicians are the worst type of snakes there are. Stab ya in the back and then all about you the next minute. Worse than the mafia!
Whistle for the hottie… Whooop Whoooop!!!!!!
Keep it professional, gents, thank you…

Giggidy giggidy. Is that why they shut the blinds today?
How come the govt are now COMBINING the figures for those who have paid the household charge and those who have applied for a waiver .. Spinning the numbers again folks!!
It sees that allowing gay people to marry is more important than the 450,000 unemployed!

Kenny bags himself a blonde at the ard fheis

Lucinda isn’t jealous Enda shares his time with alot of blondes we just don’t get to see them all. Wasn’t Merkel blonde years ago.
It makes me sick how FG/FF/Labour always throws the murderers, criminals…etc insults at Sinn Féin. Yet Dame Edna has no problem being photographed drinking champagne with a leader whose regime has been responsible for the cold blooded murder of 10s of millions of babies just because they were born female. Yellow belly Kenny makes me sick to my stomach. This BS about Chinese investment in the country is a load of cods wallop. All they are interested in is getting a foothold in Europe by buying our state assets at giveaway prices. It will be like taking candy from a baby. What do you expect from a bunch of failed school teachers? As they say those who can’t teach go in to politics!
‘Polls’, like statistics are notoriously dubious and should be outlawed. They are used as attempted opinion shapers not indicators. This is NOT news. This type of ‘news reporting’ unfortunately is all too familiar. The truth is, Kenny and his government are widely despised for continuing FF’s legacy of destroying this little island of ours. The real story of the day, and everyone knows it, is how so many people by way of refusing to pay the household charge, have decided to stand up to this government of incompetents. Also, Alan Shatter has clearly shown dismissive contempt for a massive percentage of the electorate with his insane comments. Planet Dail and the real world could not be farther apart.
This isn’t the law of the land Mr. Kenny. It’s Blue shirt law to collect tribute for your German overlord Angela. Admit it Coward, you plan to give it away. Mick Wallace is dead right. It’s a cheap shot from a sleeveen’s in one of the protected professions. If anything illustrates the level of fantasy in this Vichy government, it’s Alan Shatter’s comment. He belongs to Irish elite that believes that money really grows on trees. Contrast Israel, a real country, with Ireland. Israel, Mr. Shatter, does not capitulate, ever! Shame on you Mr. Shatter. I expected much more.
No it’s the law of the land. It is a tax voted upon in the only democratically mandated house in the country. You may not like it. You may consider it unjust. Fair enough. But you live in a representative democracy and are clear therefore that by not paying you are choosing to reject a democratically constituted law.
oh please he is a lapdog to Europe he wants us to vote yes to the fiscal treaty to cause more austerity and basically hand power over to Europe he doesn’t stand up for the citizens as long as he gets his fat pay check and pensions, and the bankers like him that’s all that matters he makes me sick.
I am totally disgusted at Justice Minister Alan Shatter telling people to “get a life”. How dare him!
FG And LB make me stomach churn,
Enjoy it while it lasts FG/Lab. Ireland is back in recession, your 5point plan is AWOL along with various election promises. A large section of society is non-compliant with your attempt to tax dwellings, still nobody has been held to account over the banking bailout which has cost this country dear, unemployment is where, emigration and wage disparity continue to climb, no progress on the banking debt which we cannot afford to service, corruption must be rampant as nothing has really been done to stamp it out…as in jail time, not a slap on the wrist, families being run out of the country by drug gangs etc etc.
A lot done of your damage has been done, including the Bonus so your crony Conlon, and a man died of cancer, because of your neglect to write to him in support, maybe you have done much more damage to this country than you think, your all a pack of shameless, greedy, corrupt, intimidation, and irritation B….. That I do know.
It’s only a matter of time, A child got abuse by Garda today on the protest, Garda attacked him, because he was trying to ask a question to one of your FG councils, Garda grabbed him by the tee-shirt and forcefully pushed him, only 12 years old, I witnessed it and so did 15 others, Alan Shatter is a disgrace to allow abuse to a child by the Garda, imagine victimising a child for crying out loud, Sick and shameless.
His Mother is reporting it, to her Garda station and lucky we got the Number.
You talk about Child Abuse. Hypocrites FGIt’s easy for Shatter to tell us to get a life from where he’s standing. The €100 tax may be a molehill on his outrageous salary, perks and allowances, but it IS a mountain to those of us on low incomes.
He should also apologise to Mick Wallace, because at least Wallace created hundreds of jobs in his time! How many jobs has Shatter ever created from his own cosy existence in politics and the law?
Hogan continues to be delusional:
“I never contemplate disappointment. I think it’s great to see so many people complying with the law,” he said. That is like a manager of a football team losing 7-3 saying that it’s great we scored 3, whilst totally ignoring that the other side has scored 7!
Hogan, the 70% who have not paid this unjust tax are ‘winning’ against your side that have only scored 30%. So stop waffling and admit defeat on this score!
Let it all out Rita, thats it. You’ll feel better.
Quote of the day Adrian ! Hats off to you!
