    Naughten – does he inspire confidence? Well, Housing Minister Murphy is in the twopenny place in the no confidence stakes when you see Naughten’s record.
    A motion of no confidence in Naughten must surely be on the cards after this latest Actavo involvement foray.
    Smacks of another cute hoor ‘deal’ in the making.
    Once a FGer, always a FGer. Never has it been so true.

    I see the London Times Irish edition is the only newspaper to give Naughten’s skulduggery front-page treatment.

    breathtaking bs & arrogance from Damien English earlier on Morning Ireland (presumably cos the minister for nice folks in Ranelagh is just too busy supervising on the building sites)

        at a guess
        I’d say Vivienne Westwood, so out of my price range,
        Pity

        Anyway, like it or loathe it, she’s news all over the World today
        From the Toronto Star to the Express Tribune in Pakistan

        So I would put a Spice Box dinner, followed by Millie’s ButterMill cake on Leo doing exactly that
        The only question is;
        What would he dance onto the stage to?

          May couldn’t have asked for a better set of headlines and it’ll buy her some peace for a fortnight at most.
          Interestingly there was another speech at the conference yesterday which caught the eye.
          Geoffrey Cox used to be one of the highest-paid QCs in the land and the silky-tongued silk was a legendary persuader of juries.
          Now he’s the Attorney General although not many people took much noticed when he ambled on as the warm-up act for the Prime Minister.
          What followed was a masterclass in oratory – you might not like his politics or what he stands for but what a delivery …

            I clicked on the link and all I saw was a man in a cheap suit and heavy jowls, channeling NIgel Farage. Oh darling, Ollie…. The bar must be rather low ,if such a delivery makes you screech ” ALMOST THERE”.

      You haven’t a clue what you are talking about you absolute clown. This government is doing exactly what any other Irish government would do in similar circumstances.

      I really am getting tired of this poo. This troll is clearly connected to this site and for some unknown reason, the owners think it is acceptable to allow it to continue.

      May I point out that when people take the time and energy to comment on this site, it is disrespectful in the extreme to then be goaded in such a manner.

      And que the sock puppets.

        I was thinking that perhaps all replies to certain trolls should just be google image links to tumbleweeds…

        it’s like showing a troll your dinner but not giving him any of it…

      Hi Ollie
      Budget 2018 allocated 3 billion for a Brexit Management scheme
      https://www.broadsheet.ie/2017/10/12/club-orange-sun-beds-and-stamp-duty/
      Just in case you missed it

      I don’t know how much of it was spent, but Budget 2019 might inform us

      While you are getting fierce craic out of your Brexitanigans, I have to tell you I think it’s the least of our problems.

      And certainly hold the opinion that ringfencing 3 billion from 2018 expenditure was a bad move when there was far better value to be got with that 3 billion.

      Work away tho’

    Yeah, it’s definitely tardy of Enterprise Ireland not to have helped all those exporters urgently to disentangle themselves from he failing British market and to move their exports to European markets.

      1. ads

        It was, yeah.

        Though if such a large number of Irish exporters are still exporting only to what Lawrence Durrell called Pudding Island, they’d want to start acting on it now. They’re skating on thin ice across a Brexity precipice if they think they’ll still have an export market when the English are living on turnip pie.
