Sunday 19 May, 2013
IT WAS A week in which the survivors of the Magdalene Laundries learned more about their horrific ordeal but were left shocked and angered by the lack of a government apology.
But much of the latter part of the week was devoted to the liquidation of the former Anglo Irish Bank and the deal on the promissory note as the government came in for more criticism.
All that and more, it’s the week in quotes:

Talking of the government etc,I don’t think they care about anyone outside their own circles,mr hogan and mr howlin should step down after lasts weeks hospital affair ,anyhow ,I lost a great friend today ,not through death or condition of health , he is like so many other talented hard working people who are off to Australia and many other far flung places ,he has worked his ass off for the last twenty years has contributed so much to the country but it has become so hard to make a living he made the biggest decision of his adult life .He is very sorry he has to leave but there is no incentive to stay,he has one child a great hard working wife so please god he will make it wherever he restarts ,he is 45 years old,I wish the government would open their eyes and see the talent that is haemorrhaging from our small wonderful country,please god the people will make a stand shortly and try to make a difference ,m
Interesting to know the Dáil bar was open during a frantic attempt to rush legislation through. It’s no different to September 2008 when the same happened under the former government. Now the polls suggest this is forgotten.
There is Not Another Place Of
Employment In The Country Where Important Decisions Of National Interests Are discussed In
The Bar. Close This F…..g Slop Hole Down Now And Make The Lazy F…..g B…..d Politicians Work For Their Disgraceful Wages And Expenses and Perks. The Parasites Should Be Cut From 166 TDs To 75 and Even That Would Be Too Many The F…..g Parasites.
One FF senator was shouting the C word at one person and the Govt. TD’s were acting like drunk teenagers at a Panto. Like the bank Guarantee in the middle of the night, the chewed garlic to hide the smell of drink, it’s another example of drunk law makers in Leinster hse.
The power of the Dail is so limited and the power of the executive so strong that the Dail Bar is as good a place as any for the inept and the impotent. TDs are cannon fodder. It’s a TA or NIL job and, if a member of a whipped party, even the TA or NIL is as directed.
So have some drink and then, if a Government backbencher , just shout out some drunken heckling at the nominal opposition. It is not edifying but the Big salary and expenses must be used for something and subsidised drink is a great use.
