Fair play to them. At least they’re doing something productive, unlike Ógra Shinn Féin who recently organised a “flashmob against unemployment”. :D

Patrick,

lol. Where do you get your facts from, the false media? I will correct you: Ogra Sinn Fein did not organize a “flashmob” as you put it. They organized the same as Labor youth did. The only difference is that it was better than Labor’s message.

That doesn’t sound like labour alone, sounds like all the party’s!

nailed it rodrigo..anyone for new labour???

Maybe they will discuss how older people can be re employed or re skilled. Cos their senior members are going to be turned out on their stars come next election.

stars = arses

Well aren’t you a treat.

Trainee YFG’ers lol

Actually YFG’ers are the trainee labourers!

So continue pleasing the IMF?

Don’t worry Oran, there will be plenty of jobs for young people when Joan Burton extends her ingenious internships to accommodate all of her Capitalist masters. Imagine how much profit companies can make when their labour costs are are totally funded by the state. Who will need the Asian sweat shops then. It will be jobs, jobs, jobs for everyone, and if you don’t want to take a job for benefits, well they will reduce your benefits to absolutely nothing, thus cutting the cost of the social welfare bill.

It’s a win, win situation folks!!!! Ingenious.

I’m almost sorry I didn’t vote for Labour or FG in the last election.

Groan. Predictable nonsense. why do Irish people hate successful people so much? If you all want jobs we need to create demand for goods and services. A company will hire people when it has customers to provide to. We need to cut taxes to free up money in everyones pockets. Stop spending too much on public programmes we don’t need. Tear up the Croke Park deal. Reduce welfare. And invest more in education. Enough nonsense and populist crap!!!

This will be funded by the EU

We need a socialist government that protects workers rights from vulture capitalists. Not the current government that gives deals to big corporations.

Right on Des, can’t wait for Labour to get into power!!!
Oh…

Desmond they’re not cynics. They’re all Extremists and Shinners and ne’er do wells. They sit home all day wondering who they can abuse or blame for their own misery. They wouldn’t know how to get to Liberty Hall unless there was a Demo on and somebody else produced the posters.

“While the Journal’s collection of haters hate and the cynics sit on their rear ends” – That pretty much sums up what Labour thinks of the Irish public.

And how exactly are Labour a “socialist” party? The graph below shows that Labour have now moved to the right on the political spectrum. Furthermore, I doubt very much that members of Labour Youth are even affected by unemployment, let alone understand its impact. They are no longer a party who represent the working class, in reality they are a party for middle class liberals far removed from the ideals of its founding members. More empty platitudes from Labour as usual.

its labors way or Frankfurts way……….yeah we all now which way that went, if labor are so great why did they stand by and do nothing when the fast food and takeway monopolies got together a while and took sunday premium pay off nearly 100,000 low paid staff and overtime pay and gave out some drab worthless statement that it would benefit job creation when in fact it just gave those owners lower costs and higher profits. The jobs minister seems to have forgotten there end of the bargain when he sanctioned it and as usual blamed the troika deal. This money taken out of peoples pockets and left to the rich is what is spent in the local economy and keeps people there in jobs instead of that its in employers bank accounts. And lastly Mick the only rambling cynic extremist i see on this site any time is you believing anyone with an opinion that doesn’t suit yours has no right to comment and is personally insulted by you grow up!

well said @Liam Smith.

In addition I resent the label “haters and cynics”. “Realists” would be a more accurate term, if indeed labels are necessary. In my experience labels are a tool of bigots, used solely to invalidate opinions and belittle anybody who fails to agree with the propaganda and lies spewed out by the party faithful.

Youth Guarantee Scheme is it? How about you check back in here in say 2 years time @Des and tell us how many full time, full pay permanent positions you have created. Or will they just be 1 & 2yr “keep your dole payment” schemes to manipulate the shameful youth unemployment figures?

If I were a cynic I would ask why you waited for things to get so bad before you started to do anything but I’m not, so I’ll keep an open mind, and eye, until then. Good luck with it.

You support Hitler’s policy of class warfare. It never works.

Desmond, if the Labour Party hadn’t copper-fastened the bailout of senior bondholders following their pre-election lies, there might not have been a need for a Youth Guarantee Scheme in Ireland, attending an event like this where everyone is a Labour Party supporter, and then singing it’s praises is kind of ridiculous

@Desmond. Stop with the Labour Party propaganda and patting yourself on the back will ya? All you’ve managed to do is hold a meeting to talk sh1te. When you have actually created a real job come back and let us know.

Until then go away and stop annoying people, and save your insults, propaganda and back slapping for the Labour Party newsletter.

Like I said … haters and cynics.

Like I said, bigot.

Where do we get the money to do this?

FG / LAB are all the same.
