“The IDA is a sham”
Person writing that from one of the richest countries in the world largely due to the IDA.

Bloody remarkable indeed,so release the “survey” which is Mickey Mouse.
‘The IDA also pointed to its soon to be published Annual Business Survey of Economic Impact results which show that last year the total spend in the economy by multinationals was €27.9bn, up 8.8% on 2019.
The results were welcomed by the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Leo Vardakar.
“These results are quite remarkable,” he said.“
Why do all Shannans bs press releases have Leo’s tramp stamp of approval – just a coincidence.
Release the survey,which the IDA based all its rubbish projections and bad math on,oh is that a high court appeal they just lodged ..
How do you make that out you fool? Ireland is a corrupt banana republic which has sold out masses of private property for buttons to foreign vulture colonialists. We are just another Greece without the figs or weather
This whole inward tech investment in Ireland’s “best workforce in the world” is a political and financial swizz. For years, they’ve been investing for 12.5% tax – now gone for big and small companies and going west for IRISH companies too as collateral damage.
Furthermore, not only are most of these “hi-tech jobs” nothing more than call centre or accounts processing operations for revenue claimed through an EMEA office, with less than 20% involved in innovation, Dublin’s most importantest people – the tech industry – are represented by non-Irish talent recruited from outside the state, have no commitment to the Dublin community, transfer a significant portion of the earnings abroad and with the balance have helped exacerbate the housing crisis with fat salaries. It’s a total joke. 17% of Ireland’s GDP can be attributed to one office block in East Wall.
There’s a deeply embedded peasant/slave mentality in the Irish Catholic middle class – the sort of fellow who’s grateful he can afford the price of a pint and to go to the odd rugby game so long as the lad across the road doesn’t have more
“In 2018 the fund was convulsed when it emerged that $711,560 was allegedly embezzled by an employee in 2015-2017. The trial of the former female employee was due to commence in February 2020. However, a spokeswoman for the fund confirmed that due to Covid-19 the trial date has been adjourned into 2022 “and has yet to be confirmed.”
IDA Ireland came under the provisions of the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act 1997 on 21 January, 2001. The Act established three new statutory rights –
A legal right for each person to access information held by public bodies;
A legal right for each person to have official information relating to himself/herself amended where it is incomplete, incorrect or misleading;
A legal right to obtain reasons for decisions affecting oneself.
The Act asserts the right of members of the public to obtain access to official information to the greatest extent possible consistent with the public interest and the right to privacy of individuals.”
FOI- hey IDA Ireland-how much was spent on the new offices?
IDA-oh thats a state secret-huh ?
FOI…IDA spent €25m maintaining four unused sites over 18 years…IT
and on and on and on….culminating in this filling in the high court a few days ago,its now an out of control rogue FG state entity or agency captured by yanks.
i mean seriously like WTF-who authorized the IDA to litgate this in the High Court ?

Before the usual appear- you can request same with your flu shot because every batch has an unique serial number.
Unless you are a member of the Covid Church of course- in which case never ever question- especially if you are a journalist.
GiggidyGoo
“ If you think that you have Covid, it’s most likely that you have it.”
The words on, erm, Paul Reid. Very scientific I must say. All of those years studying medicine stand in good stead to him. Well worth the equivalent of the salaries of 7 qualified nurses.
SOQ
For a tiny man I find Reid quite sexy- the small sort who would be the first to start a fight in a pub sort of thing.
Then again I have a thing for mad gay red heads from Cavan- so not exactly a mainstream taste.
Alas SOQ, I don’t think your response is quite the sort of response that a mad auld lad like GiggidyGums can really process. Paul Reid as a diminutive object of desire whose short stature is compensated for by Napoleonic levels of rage?! I’ll say one thing, it takes all sorts in this world from mad auld lad Giggz to an ageing and perhaps over-sexed SOQ. And you know what, more power to you all!

Most comments here seem to be the honest opinions of those writing.
I’m at a loss though as to why Bitnboxy persists in a childish hounding of one poster. No matter what the post is about it’s always ‘Mad old GiggidyGums’ and some sort of personal attack.
This has been a nice change from the usual sites, but alas posters such as Bitnboxy drag it down somewhat. He’s not funny. He’s a bully. He has a problem.
The plural was just in reference to the fact that the account is clearly operated by a multiple of personalities…the gender is neither here nor there
GiggidyGoo
NPC Wojak, aka Bisted, is in our midst, complete with Dymo. All bow.

…all my engagements with you Giggser seem to turn into a quiz…not a notion what any of that means…but then, you claim not to understand the old saying: run with the hare and hunt with the hounds…maybe you should give your mother her phone back…
GiggidyGoo
1-2-1-2. Boxy’s attempt at a decency profile, accuses someone of multiple personalities. Todays laugh of the day.
Once one of your log ins appears, the other is usually a few minutes behind, It must be a nuisance though having to change personalities so often. The guard slips regularly.
Scan the code. Nice and coloured, but the content is spot on.
Giggidy you don’t have to get defensive just because I have your back for once. You reached out to me in the true spirit of Christmas and I am trying to resolve our differences on the forum in the most important way !
GiggidyGoo
@bisted. GIYF.
bisted
…nope…still don’t understand…I’m really bad at internet acronym speak…but it looks like you’ve been rumbled Giggser…all of you!
GiggidyGoo
I take it you don’t even know what ‘rumbled’ means. See if you can find the definition in a google search. (Is that within your ability?) Clue – it means ‘discovered’. As I use one identity here, then your understanding of that word is flawed.
You could of course give us all a laugh and list the other user names you think are me.
On the other hand, I rumbled 1-2-1-2 a few days ago and he then admitted he had tens of different user names here. Unreal isn’t it?
bisted
…anyway, you see what I mean about turning everything into a quiz Giggser…nobody has suggested you use multiple usernames…just multiple personalities…
GiggidyGoo
That’s scraping the barrel, even for you @biscuit. In the Nigel realm. So name the personalities then that have been, erm, ‘rumbled’.
bisted
…well, my personal favourite was the vaxxed ratlicker…but it turns out that may not be as unique as I thought…
There’s plenty of them about.
Weird “flex” and all
GiggidyGoo
Try harder @bisted. That’s a description, not a personality. You’re struggling big time. Surprised you understood those words, seeing as you can’t even look up Google to check out other words/terms.
bisted
…it would seem that one woman’s description is another man’s personality…you never have to scratch too deep with you Giggser until the inner gurrier appears…another less pleasant persona has been your closet racist…must learn to get my facts from Google, but ratlicker has been round since 16C (or 4C pre google)…
GiggidyGoo
As I say – Try harder @bisted. You can’t even think straight, much less write straight.
So someone is a gurrier now to point out the discrepancies in your musings? God help you if you ever meet a real gurrier.
And (as asked of Boxy regularly), point me to my ‘racist’ posts.
The winner gets a new pair of Dinnytalk headphones
GiggidyGoo
The quiz is on your musings bisted. You referred to me being a closet racist, yet (like Boxy) you’re finding it difficult to back up the accusation. Birds of a feather I suppose.
Is that a quiz too?
Produce what? Lower myself to the status of a creepy stalker type who repeats back previously forgotten thread links and comments to them? Stand back from the mirror there pal.
GiggidyGoo
Yep. The reason you can’t produce anything, is that there isn’t.
Run away boxy. Busted flush once again.
Unreal eh? and Slave to the Rhythm (and see who is waiting in the sidelines) https://www.broadsheet.ie/2021/07/20/wednesdays-papers-92/#comment-2332703

Multiple names sure is creepy.
Above up the thread you were notified by Bisted that you are a two faced individual with selective memory who openly lies on this forum. Why would anyone bother replying to your bullying? I feel sorry for you actually
GiggidyGoo
As I say, 1-2-1-2, Unreal, Slave to the Rhythm, B9, Boxy, etc. The multiple personalities is included in the code. Scan it. Live with it.
Oh and your question “ Why would anyone bother replying to your bullying?” You can answer that, as it was, erm, you who wrote the reply
The question really was what do you get from this type of interaction?
GiggidyGoo
Well, back at you then as you actually instigated it with your ‘them’ comment and ‘personalities’ comment, or the racism comment. The question you need to ask yourself if what you get from that type of interaction and lies. Let us know when you figure it out.
Oh you find the cut and thrust of robust inquiry and discussion to be offensive? How galling it must be for you that other people exist
GiggidyGoo
Not at all.
So, back at you then as you actually instigated it with your ‘them’ comment and ‘personalities’ and racism comments.
You’re not very clever now are you, and run away very quickly from the subject (which you brought up). How about some robust discussion about those accusations, backed up by links? No? None available?
What’s not gone unnoticed? You spent a day or two actually coming across like a regular person there then immediately launched yourself into ceaseless spats with Boxy, Bisted, Nigel etc – what’s actually the matter?
GiggidyGoo
Tsk tsk. No examples then? Nothing to back up your claims? No?
Can’t stand by your accusations then?
Why do you make them then? What’s the matter with you?
Why so many names on here?
So many questions, but no answers.
That’s ok love. I see you here all the time craving negative attention. And yet her I am giving you what you want, despite my own best judgment. I suppose it is filling some gap in our lives whether or not we can admit it. Have a good day and I’ll wish you a Happy New Year in all your various guises.
GiggidyGoo
Just one guise (unlike yourself).
Have a happy new year too.

Roughly 90% of trolls are paid professionals so, either explain your need to keep changing your username or, just go away.
We are heading into very serious times where champions like broadsheet.ie do not need nor want white noise.
lol
So who’s paying you?
Also, source please?
Nobody is paying me because I am not a troll.
What about you?
… and the source?
So no source then, SOQ?
Are the other 10% just extras.
I agree. We need a diversity of noise instead.
