“The Taoiseach said the government recognised that the burden on taxpayers was “onerous” and that there were still challenges ahead”

No mention of the government special adviser’s salary cap or the increase in 3rd level fees. Surprise, surprise…

I’ll tell you what the government has done and what they’ll be doing a lot more of, Backtracking on the pre election promises. Lying gits each and everyone of them.

Bunch of F**KINGS gobshites

The first bullet point:

“Successful renegotiation of the EU-IMF programme, including a reduction in the interest rate, the reversal of the cut in the minimum wage and agreement on reinvestment of the proceeds from sale of State assets for job creation”

*Cringe* Hasn’t this been thoroughly debunked already? This should be read as a public relations/propaganda document only.

You can’t bake a cake without breaking a few eggs.
Unless all the eggs leg it to Canada that is…

Ha alot done my backside,you have done nothing for us but bring us misery and bleed us dry of every penny,the best thing you can do is get lost

You will see exactly what the people think of your ‘a lot done more to do’ come the next election

all these yes men are just as bad as the fg/lab coalition, liars and fools, they make me feel violent

Your a disgrace to our country , ENDA kenny” how can you play with Irish people’s lives and stand there lying to the Irish people and you and all FG / LB could stand in the DIAL as OUR leader and blackmail the IRISH PEOPLE to force the into A Severe AUSTERITY FISCAL TREATY , going around threatening Vulnerable People and ask them to vote on a severe Fiscal painful treaty and that if they don’t vote in a yes vote , that we will not get a cent of any bailout” which is a lie and you know this you and your other politician who are mad spending on flights first class and five star hotels including meal provided on the expenses of the Irish payer tax money, and all you are looking out for is yourself and your own cronies and to he’ll with the people, you make me sick, shame on you and the rest of the liars that cannot be bother to tell the real truth about this fiscal reform treaty that you signed on behalf of the Irish people to force them into a yes vote, treason and corruption has taken place here in Ireland of the Irish people, I have read the fiscal treaty and you would not put an animal through this, never mind human people, a disgusting liar and cheat, is all you are, if we were to vote this fiscal treaty, it would be a death warrant on the lives of Irish citizen, please read PDF of the fiscal treaty for yourselfs, jobs will be lots , more immigration arriving, extra taxes and lower your wage packs more, education will be neglected, health services will run down, Irish assets sold , firewall to the cheapest price and bidder, privatisation will be coming to your door like the greyhound bin collectors , free tax for them outside our country, while the Irish people will be the muggers of all and the losers in this reform fiscal pack treaty, it would be run the way Europe see,s fit, their way not Ireland’s way, Germany and France want to bring in new laws on democracy and the refrendum of the musical kangaroo court will come into force, is this what iris and wants for their future, no I don’t, I want to give all young people and children and families and elders and disable people a better future in life and that is to run Ireland’s way not europes way , living in the 1930s like the Germans and other countries lived in a poorer struggling life, the europeon banks will take every penny and we will have nothing to show for, Rita Cahill

They stole the quote from Fianna Fáil.

Here are the headlines; government says ‘Government is doing a good job’ and later…..’Enda kenny does uncharacteristic u-turn’. Next.

just shows how out of touch they are….a right shower of lying muppets…. they have no clue….they just want to line their own pockets at our expense

Protecting Front line services
What about all the front line workers who retired recently
and all the new recruits brought in to replace them ….
oh yeah ….there are no new staff …

Are living in the real world , this lovely green island is slowing but surely going down the loo ,

Pair of wankers . Absolute vomit.

………..and they play well with the other children in the yard .Especially when
away from home , the whole of Europe says so, and they all get pats on the head
for their good behavior …….

Tell me I didn’t pay for that report?????

How does he believe they protected social welfare payments, telephone allowance cut. electric units cut. electric and gas gone up 20 %. vat increased. car fuel tax increased. trying to get the pensioners to pay property tax just because they have a place to live, and trying to bring in water charges they say water charges are the norm across europe, Question is the price of a pack of cigs. 9.10 euro across europe is the vrt on cars the same in Ireland as it is across europe. One could go on all night , what it amounts to is yet another lie by the people who were going to be up front with the truth before they got into power, The day will come when ye will pay the price for your lies .

In fairness they have done a good job so far, they’re not wizards. They were handed a house on fire… they haven’t rebuilt it yet but they have put the fire out. Unemployment is stabilised, we’ve gotten much better terms on the bailout, and confidence in Ireland abroad is recovering.

Had Cowen and Co. still been in charge we’d be resorting to cannibalism by now.

a lot done more to do, now where did I hear that before o yes it was from the finna fail party, the only people done are the poorest of our society shame on the Labour party for letting the side down , the are now in the same boat as endas kick the poor mans party.

Quote:
Fine Gael believes that the IMF/EU bail-out deal has not and will not restore investor confidence in our country, and must therefore be renegotiated to reduce the interest rate and to ensure a fairer sharing of the cost of fixing Ireland’s broken banks. The current deal is bad for Ireland – and bad for Europe.
• Bad for Ireland. The financial markets are closed to Ireland principally because investors are concerned that any more capital injections into the banks – the cost so far is €100 billion – will sink the Irish economy.
• Bad for Europe. Our EU partners want Ireland to return to the financial markets as soon as possible. However, it is difficult to see how this can happen unless the market’s concerns about the banking bailout are addressed directly.

All the FG and Labour hacks will come on here asking for definitive promises that have been broken and then lambasting any poster that can’t give details. The very nature of politics is that very few actual concrete promises are made, no definitive timelines or outcomes are ever given, with the very purpose that it will then be hard to ever lay a hand on the government. Even FF were able to struggle on as the opposition found it impossible to uncover a smoking gun.

What is clear to many is that FG and Labour sent out the message before and during the election, that they were going to bring a new type of politics, a new transparency, politics for the people.

What we have seen so far is a government who seem to be doing following the same plan the last guys were doing, who have shown no backbone in Europe, have done nothing to improve transparency (to the point that the German parliament found out before our own people about the budget).

This is the real reason for the fall off in support. Of course FG/Labour will spin the line, and maybe even convince themselves like FF did, that the reason is because they are making tough decisions. Most people realise that we are in a hole and need to take tough medicine to get out, hence why the Irish have been much more accepting that others of the austerity. What people are displeased with is the apparent lack of any change, and real difference between FG/Labour and the guys who went before

David is out of touch, ok teachers don’t work as much but look at nurses doin 12 hour night shifts, also I know of plenty a principal who works hours and hours tryin to get things sorted out for their students off their own batt. TDs get some of the most time off of any profession. And the question of if they worked in the private sector is not an argument. Being a TD is a vocation – if you want to earn money in the private sector go and work there never mind the fact that most of them wouldn’t have a look in against real hard working people. The salery should be 35K for TD, 40K for a junior minister, 45K for minister and 50K for taoiseach. Oh an 55K for president. That would weed out the greed and he some real genuine people in the job!

Upward only rent reviews off the agenda now completely?

I see David is on the war path again in full cry of support for the FG/Lab/sinn fein the workers party coalition.
Does he not know that the former super junior minister Mr Penrose has returned to practice at the Bar.
So much for full time politicians !!!
On another note where’s all the shouting from Phil “the power” Hogan about household/sceptic tank registration and charges ?
The U Turn sign makers must be working over time.
Will they tell us the charge will be “paused” pending full introduction of property tax as the proposed savings on Anglo debt will far out weigh what would have been collected.

They have done better than the last lot and to expect much from a gov in one year is stupid.
They are making all the right ground work and I think the next 18 months things will pick up.
