Irish Water

Not at all -it's a necessary development that should have been made years ago.
The appalling state of Irish water supply is yet another instance of the wretched long-running neglect by Fianna Fail led administrations which has let so many areas of vital public service become decrepit even when there was money in abundance in the treasury...but of course there were elections to be bought.
After the IRA -FF are the group that has had the most destructive  effects on Irish society over the last 80 + years.

Paying for something that we have in abundance really riles me.

Poor infrastructure or not we still have plenty to go around just another stealth tax from the broken promises party.

There's an article in today's Irish Daily Mail by Gerry Byrne which deals with the water issue -well worth a look .
Yes silvergreaser  we're all annoyed at what has to be done now at a time when the country is bust -but that's the direct consequence of 20 years of lousy government and maladministration.

P.S. I get the IDM purely for the lay-out of the racing cards which I find easiest to read and process. !!

its all the IRAs fault sil.....vub could you be more specific please,was it the old,provisional,official,real,continuity,coca cola or pepsi IRA that iyo had the most destructive effects on irish society......

Hi Richters -I see you're lurking in the shadows all the time -unable to resist the attraction of my posts.
I'm delighted to provide a source of interest for you in between your bouts of losing bets and losing arguments. Distinguishing between these subgroups of dastardly lunatics would be a futile exercise -the all-encompassing acronym IRA will do fine.
I merely mentioned them to point up the place of FF in the league table of national villainy -with FF themselves being just a short head in front of the RC Church.

vub if my memory is correct sir your last 5 or 6 guesses on the main forum have been subject to search parties....so please dont go down that line,you really are a bitter little brit vub and i dont know how you will cope when the island unites....

Vubiant, your familarity with being just a short head in front of the RC church comes as no suprise.

Buying the IDM purely for the lay-out of racing cards, feeling the need to justify that purchase,  and reading articles by Gerry Byrne at the same time.

I wonder what this tells us about the attraction of your posts.
