The Week in Politics - Heckle Here

[PaddyJoe]

Was O'Cuiv ever replaced as FF deputy leader?

The Walking Dead will have only one leader.

Fianna Fáil has decided not to appoint a new deputy leader in the front bench reshuffle of July 2012.

[Baron von Biffo]

The Walking Dead will have only one leader.

Thanks.

Probably a bit soon for Barry Cowen to make a move.

No This Week this week. I'll have to watch the beach volley ball.

Sickening. In my own family only one or two people don't take the 'hes a decent skin line'. Thick Paddy Muck savagery indeed.

[Baron von Biffo]

Back tonight. Burton, Darragh O'Brien and Peadar Tobín.

[Dr. FIVE]

Wish they would just bin this and frontline. Useless formats

[Dr. FIVE]

meh

[Baron von Biffo]

O'Rourke slams Tobín for being emotional words like 'scapegoat' while he himself says that it's the grandchildren who'll have to pay the bills.

[C. Flower]

Putting up PRSI is A TAX ON JOBS.

Putting up income tax is not.

[Baron von Biffo]

Burton singing the praises of JobsBridge - 'We did it for business' quoth she.

[PaddyJoe]

I could have sworn that Tobin said earlier that he was in agreement with 3.5 billion in 'adjustments' in this year's budget. Is that SF policy or did I misunderstand what he said?

[Baron von Biffo]

Dublin based senator Darragh O'Brien claims the RPT will be an anti Dublin tax. Looking to get out of the Seanad next time on a wave of populism.

[Dr. FIVE]

Ministers devoting all their speaking to attacking the opposition is very reassuring isn't?

[Baron von Biffo]

I could have sworn that Tobin said earlier that he was in agreement with 3.5 billion in 'adjustments' in this year's budget. Is that SF policy or did I misunderstand what he said?

That's what I heard too.

Probably meant something along the lines of agreeing that adjustments have to be made but that these can be made in a fairer way, ie wealth tax and what not.
