The next Government

[Rebel CNC]

Tourism crowds are always going on about "the last straw" but they all manage to survive regardless by passing that straw onto the customer

How long has yer man in the Castle Inn been going on about how much trouble pubs are in? And he's still trading away

Likewise PJ's right wing nutter friend (Treyvaud?) who runs a restaurant down in Killarney. Passed his place on a cold wet night last month and place was full.

Don't get me started on the calls for 9% VAT rate. As discussed before, VAT goes to the government and customers aren't going to make a decision to eat out or not eat out based on paying €57 rather than €55 for a meal costing €50 before VAT. The only way a business will gain from a VAT decrease is if they pocket the difference themselves.

I was going to, for the first time ever give FF second preference, now I am not sure :

Fianna Fáil grassroots members open to Sinn Féin coalition — but with Michelle O'Neill as leader

Members are not supportive of the idea of Mary Lou McDonald leading a Sinn Féin-Fianna Fáil coalition

I always thought there was a hidden link there ok .Eamonn o Cuiv
( Dev og ) Martin Mcguiness Bertie Ahern Conor Murphy and Michael Martin all like freemasons you would see nods and winks berween them and have no awkward conversations.
Nothing is written down but there appears to be an understanding that they will be looked after etc.
Disgusting carry on by FF.

There is a feeling with a lot of people that
MON is far more likeable than MLMD,

There seems to be an air of inevitability around Mary Lou of late as M.O.N. has stolen her thunder and you just cannot have 2 women in the kitchen (You can but that is a weird 18+ movie).

There is only so much endless whiney hectoring about "change" etc that people can take from Mar Lou anyway.

Absolutely, LouLou is just a pig of a person.

When MON was on with Kielty she came across well, MLMD just wants to be nasty and agressive all the time.

Caption this.. il go with...Get your hand off me ya dirty dub,

“You need bigger jacket pockets to hide those brown envelopes Micheál”

That hectoring haughty perma-angry aggressive style from Mary-Lou McDonalds is not going to win friends and form consensus with anyone.

M.O.N. seems to have the social and personal skills to communicate with all sides.

Good news for a change.
