Matt talks a lot but still none the wiser on what he’d do

[YellowBib]

Matt Carthy has an awful accent.

That lady from Dundrum absolutely annihilated O’Gorman there.

She’s not from Dundrum, she’s a blow in herself who wants to veto who lives there too.

Same veto Francis Noel Duffy uses.

The amount earned by accommodation owners should be in line with potential income if they ran it as a working hotel.

The current contracts means hotels get many times more the income for little or no work. There’s something fundamentally wrong with that.

No there isn’t, it’s called the market.

Look, I’m not fiercely invested in this issue but even the most pro migration campaigners can admit that paying many multiples for such hotels at the expense of local tourism will have a negative impact on local economies etc.

The root problem is that migration is an EU/world wide problem and there’s no easy fix to it.

[Bandage]

Agreed. Awful stuff from both of them.

[Locke]

FG are a beaten docket. In power too long. Time for a change.

The owners of the properties are entitled to negotiate contracts for the use of their properties.

That’s the market.

It’s mad to see so many right wingers throw out the absolute core of market ideology when it doesn’t suit them because it’s in conflict with another central core of right wing ideology, racism.

Ian O’Doherty is an alcoholic racist fool who can’t write.

[Little_Lord_Fauntleroy]

Brownes 1 role is to fillet carthy

Look I’m not right wing or any of that carry on. Yet to decide who I’ll vote for on Friday.

Everyone’s right wing nowadays now.

[Kyle]

[Little_Lord_Fauntleroy]

Made carthy well up

[Kyle]

In gov i meant. I’m not watching tonight as it’s a given Rod will mop the floor with this lot.

[Arthur]

This bit (for me) from carvery boys manifesto linking immigrants to violence is the first out and out dog whistling/racism. Everything else in the debate has been fair comment on both sides.
