They have taken that down, it seems.

in fairness, that's no way to treat a sitting t.d.

anyone know where his constituency office is? (or would having an office be playing into the hands of the property elite?)

What is a sinister fringe and are water protesters ISIS affiliates? - the media on the water charges protests | Right2 Water

"The Irish establishment has reacted hysterically to popular opposition to the water charges. In an almost comical performance, the media has focused laser-like ............ on the protests’ alleged ‘violence’. But it has turned a blind eye to the violence of austerity across the country."

Just off phone to Irish Water after telling them under article 9.4 of EU water directive in 2000 Ireland secured an exemption of paying for domestic water, so I told them under EU law I dont have to pay for my water, they said this is the first they heard of this! They put me on hold and came back and said the Irish govt had changed the law! I said the Irish govt cant change EU law so I am exempt…I also said to change that exemption in Ireland would require a referendum……they said they will ring me back…

what a load of bollocks. not being allowed is not the same as being exempt.

How can Irish Water drive its brand back on course? | RichardsDee

To ensure a successful long-term future, Irish Water needs to engage people’s heads and hearts. But how?
By focusing on the 3 Ps:
Purpose, Principles and Participation.

In summary, Irish Water needs to be genuine, people-centric and showcase actionable cause. Only then can it start to regain trust and move forward.

Purpose, Principles and Precipitation.

Is that a pun/gag on perception?
Or he's thinking they should be talking about rain more?

Can't decide if I should post this here, or in confessions, or in minor pleasures. Or at all.

Vaguely related to the water charges thing. But yesterday while stoned I wrote an e-mail giving out about the cops to 7 TD's, one of them is a minister.

Have had two responses so far, both from opposition deputies, saying that they will put down a parliamentary question about what I was writing about.

care to share? i once exchanged one or two emails with bertie after he stepped down as taoiseach. if it wasn't him, it was someone pretending to be him, down to the multiple spelling errors.

I hope they leave out " and furthermore a ceann comhairle, have you noticed that The Dark Side of the Moon syncs up perfectly with the wizard of Oz?"

They did their homework
