Why have they had their lunch eaten among middle class professionals living in former working class areas. I presume you meant among working class people so their was no need for the inverted commas in the context you used it.
Eh? I didnât say their voters didnât come from that demographic in those areas - that is obvious.
I explained it but here you are still grasping.
Letâs be honest, you were looking for something.
Anything of note to add here or are you in âjust asking questionsâ mode of tedium?

At least the hospital is being built by the best in the business so we can have peace of mind as to its structural integrity.
Have we given up on the stupid idea to call it the Phoenix Childrenâs Hospital?
Simon Whistler is a great bit of stuff, watch a few of his videos a night before allimg to sleep

Si Harris has turned FG from inevitability hitting the iceberg to being the permanent party of government in 6 months, some achievement.

This lad is some fucking dose. Do they honestly think a company turning over 120m gives a fly fuck if they win a contract for a fucking bike shelter at 150,000 or whatever the builders work were.
Heâs basically copied it off that Nick Delahanty lad who had a big thread on it - unfortunately a lots of facts and figures were tosh
Yeah seen that, where he named the builder and the sub contractors for that Security Shelter. I have had some of those Contractors work for us and theyâre all perfect. Why drag them into it. He obviously does realise these projects are priced off a full design pack. By all means drag the OPW and consultants into it, by why sling mud at the Contractor who priced a ridiculous scope and design.
Everything is completely overdesigned. Thatâs why we canât build cheap social housing, because theyâre completely overspecced.

Correct, everything is overkill and has to be A1 rated.A load of shite.

Yep but not a reason to name and shame a builder who is pricing based on a set of documents.
