FIANNA FÁIL BELIEVES its “coherent arguments” helped to “demolish” those put forward by Fine Gael and Sinn Féin as the Seanad abolition referendum looks increasingly likely to be defeated.
The party’s diretor of elections Niall Collins said that though it is not taking any for granted it is “encouraged” with a “distinct momentum towards a No vote” having emerged in recent days.
Collins said as the debate broadened out question marks rose about Fine Gael’s claim that €20 million would be saved and he criticised the populist position the parties advocating a Yes vote took on getting rid of politicians.
“I think deep down, the people within Ireland, they value their political institutions, their democratic systems. Nobody was arguing for the status quo,” Collins said, adding that political reform “has to be top of the agenda”.

No thanks.
It’s a great idea! I want it now.
“Google has a creepy plan…”
No need to start a sentence with that Journos. We can pretty much take it for granted that all of Google’s plans are creepy.
I’ll be switching from android to iPhone if this becomes mandatory.
It won’t, that would be suicide
Apple aren’t much better..only difference is they’re more insidious in the way the do it
I don’t get what’s wrong with this. It’s more secure and easier to use.
What if I’m on holiday and have a sore throat and cut my typing finger so have to use another one. Would it not let me in?
@Rothar man, that is a very good question! I have a windows phone at the moment but I’m going to change soon and it will be a phone with an Android operating system… I would really prefer the old type password (or numbers) to get into my phone
It’s only used for deciding when it should lock your phone (and therefore require a conventional pass code / finger print)

“Google’s Project Abacus will track at how you use your phone on a daily basis”.
How can a device be tracked at? English??
Google’s will track how you use your phone on a daily basis -Google already track every App you download and use on your phone and Searches. Goto https://history.google.com/history/ and see for yourself!
Yet another reason why I’ll have anything more to do with that company. This is just an excuse to monitor what you do more so they can deliver “ads tailored for you”. They’re trying to sell this as a convenience when a thumb print or 4 digit PIN will suffice perfectly. A solution to a problem that does not actually exist!!!
Feckin hell, that is just way too creepy, no way.
More bollocks!
Who needs a phone nowadays, sure everybody’s wearing google glass…. oh no that didn’t take off because it was too intrusive. I wonder what will happen to the crap ad pushing machine that is google in a few more years if it continues to do this sort of poop.
have your say
