I see Mr Chambers on rte spewing out the same old shite about what they are going to build in the next few years, 40k ramping up to 90k per year. And not a word about the 100k plus apartments around the country that contravene current building regs which he is fully aware of. Not to mention who is going to do all the remedial works, if the current contractors are busy trying to meet his targets. I dont know how the majority of voters believe this bullshit and keep voting the same clowns in. We get what we vote for, morons.

How he has a career after Micheal Lowry running rings around him in government negociations is beyond me.....scary to think he is sent overseas to represent the country

The government have zero intention of ever sorting those apartments or building even half the houses required to solve this issue.....they have politically absorbed the cost and are happy to leave it fester now into a disaster zone like the health service

Delta airways flight crash lands in Toronto , ends up upside down with all of the passengers and crew alive.(1 in critical condition).

Looks like the right wing came off somehow, and not sure how exactly the plane ended up upside down. Very little fire damage and the fuselage doesn’t look too damaged.

Stroke of luck

People voted for the triple lock as part of Lisbon treaty,it's time to start unraveling our extremist integration into Europe and walking away from the rest of European treaties....the establishment have opened the door to us to leave Europe and begin process of dismantling European treaties implicated on us.....if they can dismantle the add-on to Lisbon treaty any and all future governments elected here can begin to dismantle our relationship with EU,it's long since time we're better off alone,than let the clowns in Leinster house dispatch our army to be slaughtered for the EU and nato

After decades of fighting and being the first to hold the line and push Isis back, including having many Irish in its ranks then (could never forgive yanks for screwing em over),the PKK have stood down the militant wing


Not forgetting that girl from Waterford who got caught up in a bus bombing by them either :cry: ..... hopefully they'll get a country of their own in any peace settlement

Questioned by John Hayden SC, defending, the garda confirmed that there was no evidence that he had not distributed the material.
This is twisted!
How the heck can anyone produce evidence of something that did not happen?
