>He said that people who received an increased fuel allowance in recent weeks were now better off than people working in Dublin since 6am today and that the Government was taking money off these people and giving it to people Sinn Féin wants to appeal to who go home at 6pm.
I’ve read that sentence a few times now and I can’t make any sense of it. Anyone speak FG?
We have a government cobbled together in the face of the worst emergency the country faced in a century to deal with that emergency.
That emergency is over. It’s time for a general election.
Yes time for FF-FG + independents. I don’t see what an election will solve.
Michael Ring was happily calling Ryan daft on the radio this morning while misrepresenting what he said. They’re threatening the stability themselves. FG are self serving and will throw their coalition partners under the bus if it secures them votes
If these TDs feel so strongly about implementing the programme for government their parties signed up to,perhaps they should resign? Performative outrage at it’s best.
I’m pretty sure it’s Barry cowen et Al who have reduced the stability of the government since the start of this “turf war” shite.
If they aren’t going to support what is a PfG decision, then maybe the government should fall.
This is bs from TDs “did you ever cut turf”, what does it matter?
This ban won’t stop people cutting turf.
This is fake news being spread by the major turf cutters.
It Will ban the commercial cutting if turf.
So ring, cowen, Carey etc will still be able to. It their own turf.
Good, that’s his fucking job. He’s holding the balance in government, and Martin and Varadkar need him as much as he needs them. Wish he’d been doing this for the last three years instead of falling asleep
Lol I mean Good?
The minority party should try throwing their weight around every so often
Hes a nightmare determined to impoverish rural communities even further
Aren’t the people threatening to vote against the government, on policies agreed with in the Programme for Government, the ones who are threatening the stability of the government?
So Fine Gael try to renege on a commitment they made in the programme for government and they’re accusing Ryan of causing instability because he won’t roll over.
That’s very scummy behaviour from Fine Gael. And Barry Cowen and his backbench Fianna Fáil lackeys are also to blame for starting this bullshit.
Ryan is dead right for sticking to his guns. While it would be a pity to throw out the stuff in the PfG that hasn’t been enacted yet, it’ll be worthless if they let FFG push them around. They’ll keep on doing it for as long as the Greens concede. And if the only alternative to conceding is collapsing the government then so be it. The government wouldn’t last in that state anyway.
Thankfully they had the foresight to get their headline policies enacted early in the life of the government.
Michael Ring acting like a big baby
Please take it down, people can’t make the same mistake of voting for the greens twice can they?
Then again FF and MM are in power 12 years after they brought the country to its knees.
The minority party in a coalition should be constantly threatening the stability of the government, it’s the only leverage they have.
The turf war has begun
Was it stable?
Heated meeting you say!!!! Turf, wood pellets, oil, gas?
