I agree, I was expecting John Delaney would have had to pay the FAI a seven figure settlement in repayment of expenses and those “professional fees” invoices from his ex-girlfriend and what have you. But, I suppose, the FAI probably just wanted to draw a line under it all and, in the circumstances, they may have accepted just €350k.

The start of the most ignominious week in Irish politics? Probably. Shady communications minister, Richard Bruton is set to sign the €5 (five) billion National Broadband Plan with a consortium featuring Denis O’Brien, this, despite the recommendations of a cross-party Oireachtas committee to kick the Plan into touch and explore alternatives. And of course, on Tuesday week, Paschal Donohue will be introducing his austere Brexit budget when he’ll claim there’s no money for tax cuts or services and we need to be prudent.
Fupp off FG, we can all see what you’re doing.

So now its 5 billion euro?
Really have to hand it to them
Lets have national wallet mugging day where we all leave our wallets out and invite Leo to take what he wants
The gas thing is these projects cannot be undertaken with the recession we are going to have post brexit
So why not just up the bill to 40 billion euro
Now watch the national children hospital spiral past the figures announced then the maternity hospital or lets call it the eternity hospital
The silver lining in brexit will be brexit will halt all these pies in the sky

Jacob Rees Mogg told the Tory party conference yesterday.
“I think if the DUP are happy with the deal there will be very few Conservatives, including those who are without the whip, who are then against a deal, and at that point there are a number of people in other parties who think that yes we must now just finish this,”
This was a departure from the prepared script which had been given to the Tory-friendly Spectator beforehand and published on their website.
Just look at it though, if 10 members of a controversial political party in Northern Ireland agree to a deal, then the 300+ Conservative MPs (including the 20+ who have lost the whip) will fall into line? Seriously? That is just amazing.

Remember the DUP blaming Hurricane Katrina in 2005 on the gays? I wonder what they’ll blame for the website of the Wrightbus church, Green Pastures being offline most of yesterday.
The website is back online this morning, and if you have time you might watch yesterday’s service where the Wrights, senior and junior, testified on the stage/altar.
The deadline for Wrightbus to deliver its 2018 accounts is today and they’ll face a £750 fine from Companies House if they’re late. I doubt the administrators will be all that concerned at the fine, they have bigger fish to fry, but the accounts must have been prepared and signed off some time ago; the previous year’s (2017) were signed off in early August 2018. I smell some financial scandal in there.

Sorry to ruin everyone’s Monday with the devastating news that hard-up celebrity solicitor Gerald Kean and his latest amour have split. The unlikely named Sonia Vivaldi has reportedly “returned home”. Did we ever find out was she Swedish or Moldovan or Brazilian or what? Anyways, Gerald has now taken up residence in Drayton Manor, the house in Wicklow which he was in danger of losing last year on foot of loans which were acquired by a vulture fund.
Gerald has had a mixed year in 2019, being turfed out of his rented office and pursued by the sheriff, and, on the other hand, he’s won €180,000 in libel damages, though the Revenue Commissioners will probably be first in the queue for their slice of that.

Research commission by the BAI [where Michael O’Keeffe has been at the helm for 30 years and needs to go] shows daily TV viewing by 15-24 year olds has declined by 40% from 109 minutes to 70 minutes in three years as viewers migrate to Youtube/Netflix, presumably because loss-making RTE is so awful and irrelevant as it superserves the urinary incontinent.
Bojo reportedly had an affair with the busty ex-model US blonde to whom £100k+ was greelit by Bojo in grants when he was mayor of London, and the grants are now the subject of an investigation. On Twitter, they’re comparing Bojo and the ex-model to Trump and Stormy Daniels. At least the Donald gave Stormy £100k ($130k) from his own pocket.

Bishop Brendan Kelly nails it- “With regard to the direct provision model, it is not fit for purpose. It prevents people from integrating and it contributes towards the deepening of ignorance, resentment, and suspicion.”
Flanagan on the other hand said his department would talk with local residents in Galway once a decision had been made. ONCE a decision had been made- in other words- the DOJ will continue to do what they bloody well like and frig the local communities.

Maybe placing many of the direct provision centres in rural communities is because they want to hide the problem and of course limit racist pigs tags to country folk
Maybe some rural transport schemes might just improve the lot of these poor souls fleeing poverty and terror
Bad as they are the centres are luxury compared to French facilities and god please protect those souls that were placed in converted shipping containers in the hell hole of the lesbos facility which went on fire killing at least two
In reality we really have it good in this country when you look at these poor souls

Or maybe they are just incompetent and lazy and think they can walk over a small rural community?

I doubt it
out of sight out of mind racial tension and all that
laziness is wishful thinking

Yes well- all more the reason to keep raising it on a national stage so- just like those forcing halal meat into schools and hospitals- the DOJ will have a lot to answer for if the far right get a grip.

The galoot from Ranelagh finally publishes the homeless report for August 2019.
For the seventh consecutive month, there’s 10k+ in emergency accommodation, including 3,848 kids.

It’s worth saying that under ETHOS rules, adopted throughout the EU, there are six categories of homelessness and the report published today is just the total under one of those categories [category (2) below]
(1) People living Rough: Living in the streets or public spaces without a shelter that can be defined as living quarters
(2) People in emergency accommodation: People with no place of usual residence who move frequently between various types of accommodation
(3) People living in accommodation for the homeless: Including Homeless Hostels; temporary accommodation; Transitional Supported Accommodation; Women’s shelter or refuge accommodation
(4) People living in institutions: Including people who stay longer than needed in health institutions needed due to lack of housing; and people in penal institutions with no housing available prior to release
(5) People living in non-conventional dwellings due to lack of housing : where accommodation consists of mobile homes, non-conventional building or temporary structure, and is used due to a lack of housing and is not the person’s usual place of residence
(6) People living temporarily in conventional housing with family and friends due to lack of housing
