Our placeholder Taoiseach has spent the last year decimating the hospitality and entertainment industries, and he has the gall to open one. I don’t think the Irish people will appreciate the irony of that. His feeble attempts to rescue a legacy for himself and rehabilitate his image in the last few months left to him will backfire. You are a criminal, Michael. Just a matter of time now before that catches up with you.
And the big question is the boutique hotel?
Who gets the profits ?
Who is going to fund the building and fitting out ?
Then the concert hall?
Will the management be tendered out or is this another scam for the boys
And will this hotel be like the national maternity hospital ending up costing five time the price
Why not just build a music college full stop ?
that chitter clip there
for a brief moment I thought he was in Lamberts Puppet Theatre
appropriate I thought…oh well
I used to love going to Lambert’s as a kid.
As an aside, that music centre is brilliant. They’ve done a really good job on it and it’s been such a positive addition to the community.
I see the fist bump has now unofficially replaced the handshake with most folks.
Our illustrious leader Micheal giving one there to a bloke in that vid and everything.
Is it any better / safer?
Who knows / cares?
What part of your hand do you usually rub your nose with again?
Yeah… science!
