Michael Healy Rae had a video on Instagram earlier today saying the Government were promising the sun, moon and the starts to anyone thatâs stupid enough and foolish enough to vote for them and to support them.
Danny voted with the Government.

For the umpteenth week in a row Niall Collins retains the award for the most glum, joyless, unhappy looking fucker in DĂĄil Ăireann. Did he go to the same school as Eamon Fitzmaurice by any chance?
I ask this in the light of their ability to tell a lad his house was on fire with the same animation as greeting a neighbour with âgrand morningââŚAnother candidate for reading the death notices âŚâŚ

15 month Green ban for the bould Neasa.
Reading through that thread, the first organisation seemed to have problematic links. The problems with the second seemed to be that the tweeter didnât agree with them.
Sheâs a gowl. She knew her vote would mean nothing but used it as a platform to grandstand.

Labour leader Ivana Bacik has said her party would aim for one million homes over the next decade, saying ânew thinkingâ is now needed on the housing crisis.
In an address to members at the Labour Party annual conference in Cork, Ms Bacik said that Fine Gael and Fianna FĂĄil are âperpetuating an unequal Irelandâ and that she wants to achieve a âleft-led green-red governmentâ.
âOur ambition is for one million homes in 10 years, starting now. The State can, and we must, deliver 50,000 new builds and 50,000 refurbished homes a year for the next decade. In a strong economy with financial surpluses, we can do this. With new thinking and new ideas, we can do this. With a national housing emergency causing suffering for thousands, we have to do this. Thatâs our ambition for housing.â
Ms Bacik also said the party wants to introduce unlimited bus and rail journeys for âŹ9 a month and a new tax on SUVs.

âThe current conservative Coalition is just not working. Fine Gael and Fianna FĂĄil are perpetuating an unequal Ireland. This Government is lurching from crisis to crisis. They are failing the people of Ireland.â
She said there has been âa catastrophic failure to deliver on housing.â
In her first address to Labour members since she became party leader, Ms Bacik said the âGovernment has turned to the private market to solve its own mess. And again and again, developers, speculators and land hoarders have shown that they canât and wonât deliver the homes our communities need.â
Ms Bacik said that a young mother recently contacted her âin despair, facing the cliff edge of eviction next week, with no prospect of finding another home anywhere in her community. And she is just one of thousands.
âA home is a basic human right.â
She reiterated that the Labour Party wants to extend the eviction ban. The party will bring a motion of no confidence in the Government this coming week.
âA Government that is out of ideas, and out of time. A temporary extension of the ban would provide breathing space to increase housing supply. Not just to ramp up the tenant-in-situ scheme, but also to tackle vacancy and to undertake a massive rapid-build housing programme on public land.
âAnd to introduce a new âuse it or lose itâ rule to stop speculators from sitting on inactive residential planning permissions in rent pressure zones. We have a crisis. We need urgent action.â
