The next Government

[ThatFella]

Well I don't know if that is possible, I mean if it's that easy for an unsanctioned press person to stand next to others and in front of political people, then what's stopping someone with malicious intentions from doing it ?

In all logic that place has to be guarded well and according to my own relative it most certainly is.

I don’t think it’s possible in my opinion, like imagine there’s an exclusive and one gets before the other or if Gript got first?
Like they’re all in competition for clicks and sales so if the other main stream media are willing to stand next to Gript and then back Gript up like yesterday there’s no way they’re unsanctioned. If I was a journalist and did everything by the book of getting a pass etc and next thing there’s a competitor next to me with no pass I’d be bringing to the attention of the powers that be.

Like you said if it’s that easy to what’s stopping you or me getting a visitors pass and then acting like a journalist and stand at the plinth and potentially asking malicious questions, you never seem to see any Joe Public at the plinth during interviews.

Well it's more than asking questions I would be more conscious of.
Imagine some lunatic going in there with malicious intent and there is a Government Minster or whatever 2 feet in front of them.

Good auld boys club the ffg party hey! No need to circumvent the paywall. The head line says it all. Is this their 5th pay rise since Covid including one year which had two pay rises?
Makey uppey jobs for cronies on extortionate salaries, pensions, expenses and perks and then a pay rise before the existence of the job is not even 5months old.
Don’t be fooled when they say that a “portion” of the increase will be donated to the state - what that means is that they’ll use it to consolidate personal office property in their constituency. Corruption beyond belief.

Ministers receive pay increases in new Cabinet under public sector deal

Government says ministers will ‘gift back a portion of their salary’ to the State

Even if they hand back a portion of their income when in office, their pensions will be boosted by the increase in salary. And they won't be giving that back when they leave the building.

The State will now gain ownership of your organs upon your death. You will have to opt out, not opt in. I will be opting out.

People will automatically be organ donors unless they object during their lifetime, under law change agreed

A major change in the law has been agreed which would mean that when a person dies it will be automatically assumed they wish to donate their organs – unless they have indicated an objection during their lifetime.

This is about saving other people's lives, if people have an issue with that, then fair enough

I see it as a good thing compared with what was the case before whereby one had to carry an organ donation card or let relatives know of their intentions

I presume if you need an organ transplant you’ll be refusing it in that case?

Look I give up.
We all know you’ve an anti Ken agenda which is fine.
Leinster House is a strict place, if you really think Gript could be signed in as a visitor (who must be accompanied at all times bar the public gallery when in session) could then stand on the plinth and question TD’s and ministers you’d wanna rethink that.

Your overlord Martin who has been critical of Gript etc in the past has had nothing to say about it. If there’s unsanctioned members of the press it actually presents a security risk to Leinster House.

Only since Ken fell out with FF in general and MM in particular I’d suggest.

Nope. He ran for FF in the 2019 locals and I didn’t give him any preference.
