Comments(1) Well he’s gone …. he resigned.
He didn’t go willingly but Dan Boyle’s no confidence in him on Twitter was curtains for him.
Twas a bit ridiculous when the vote of no confidence was beaten by Fianna Fáil with the support of the Greens.
Yet ’twas the Greens and Twitter burned him.

The Minister for Defence is facing calls for his resignation after he made a false statement in the High Court.
The Limerick TD admitted making false and defamatory statements about Sinn Féin Councillor Maurice Quinlivan when a journalist produced a tape of an interview.
Posted July 16, 2009 Comments(4) An Bord Snip Nua was a group charged with recommending public sector cuts in these ‘economic times’ ….. well …. I’ve seen it all now:
Bail out the banks for billions and make ordinary Joe Soap, Joe Public and everyone else in the public sector pay for it.
Full reports are available through the RTE website … the Dept. of Finance website apparently can’t handle the extra traffic:
They sure did hit Education hard …. bastards.
This fair country of ours is fucked.
Where can I emigrate to?

Not long more me thinks before Cowen and Co. will be saying good bye to Leinster House:
Taoiseach Brian Cowen emerged shell-shocked from a raucous meeting of Fianna Fail TDs and senators last week to be told that he is now presiding over a party even more fractious and split than it was during the era of Charles Haughey.
At Fianna Fail’s final parliamentary party before the summer recess, Mr Cowen had been expecting a relatively timid affair during which he would rally his party colleagues in advance of them spending 10 weeks among their angry constituents.

The madness began on the 6th. Bloody posters and cable ties everywhere!
It’s a bit rich to have the ‘Greens’ in Government with the ‘Fuck ‘em All’ party and the condoning of this antiquated practise of vandalising our countryside.

I’m back from the brink. And in striking form!
The Education Minister Batt O’ Keeffe says it would be regrettable to see teachers taking to the streets to protest the Government’s public sector pension levy.
Minister Batt O’Keeffe’s comments follow Friday’s announcement from the three main teachers’ unions that they will be balloting their members on industrial action.
Union representatives have also urged their members to attend an ICTU protest rally which is taking place in Dublin on Saturday.
Minister O’ Keeffe is appealing to teachers to remember that the country is in a difficult and fraught financial state.
If balloted I will be prepared to go on the picket line.
The fat cats at the top, the bankers, the developers, the speculators and their equals creamed it during the Celtic Tiger years.
Sorry – IE 8 – never...
