Vincent Browne, 25th May

- 10:35 PM Simon McGarr - www.letsgetsam.com You will be so, so glad you clicked on that.
- 10:36 PM John J - But if anyone saw Prime Time tonight, they will have seen the devastation the recession is visiting on people. It was scary
- 10:37 PM Alexia Golez - @Simon Wonderful!
- 10:37 PM briangreene - Joe does positive – don’t let him deflect you Joe. SP stood against Lisbon – Againstx a bosses Europe.
- 10:38 PM briangreene - we are twinned with San Jose?
- 10:38 PM John J - *sings* Do you know the way to San Jose
- 10:39 PM John J - Dublin is. Happened years ago. Under Frank Feeley City Manager, I think. He fancied a trip
- 10:39 PM Simon McGarr - Offering a choice- two kinds of Fianna Fail!
- 10:40 PM briangreene - Byrne had leaflets in Portmarnock before 10am. Not An Post AFAIK. Todays leafleting was 9am-1pm. feet sore.
- 10:41 PM Niall001 - can you watch this online?
- 10:41 PM Suzy Byrne - Vincent tonight can be watched online tomorrow on TV3.ie
- 10:41 PM Alexia Golez - I’m confused how the numbers of members of parliament is a European issue
- 10:42 PM Niall001 - Bugger, just finished watching Q&A on the live stream. Don’t have the energy to go downstairs. Cheers Suzy.
- 10:42 PM Simon McGarr - For assistance: Emmanual Sweeny is ex-Muintir na hEireann
- 10:43 PM Alexia Golez - “Fianna Fáil has gone through like a dose of salts” A new Mary Louism
- 10:43 PM faduda - After Q&A, Browne talking to Dublin candidates about nothing in particular feels shallow beyond words
- 10:43 PM BrianGreene - mary lou’s necklace EGC EGC EGC
- 10:43 PM Simon McGarr - Representing in the sense of not turning up.
- 10:43 PM John J - She makes me sick!
- 10:44 PM BrianGreene - 13 mins to go – late coz Britains got Talent ?
- 10:44 PM John J - There’s red and there’s red! Tone it down Mary Loo!
- 10:45 PM Simon McGarr - per www.cearta.ie Muintir which had a short time earlier caused controversy by attacking the then government minister Mervyn Taylor during the divorce referendum, saying that as a Jew he ‘may not have a full understanding of Christian marriage’.
- 10:46 PM Alexia Golez - Look @ Eibhlin’s necklace, Brian.. It’s baroque beautiful!
- 10:46 PM BrianGreene - Sinn Fein credit flow.
- 10:46 PM John J - “Can’t accuse SF of propping up the banks.” Nice one, VB.
- 10:46 PM John J - Joe on the mark again! Direct hit on Lord Mayor!
- 10:46 PM faduda - VB: “Cant accuse SF of propping up the banks, can we?” MaryLou: “Absolutely not, why would we, Vincent?” MLMcD needs new irony detector
- 10:46 PM Mark_Coughlan - Joe needs to drop the SR technics thing… every fuckin time…
- 10:47 PM stretchneil - *shock* Emmanuel Sweeney somewhat less crazy than expected #vinb
- 10:47 PM ShellDillon - @VoteJoeHiggins good man joe #vinb
- 10:47 PM BrianGreene - Joe puts focus on SR Technics… i met a sacked SRT worker tonight, not easy for FF to canvass there.
- 10:47 PM John J - If you worked there – as many did in north county Dublin – it might be of some relevance to you!
- 10:48 PM faduda - Yeah, but look who he’s sitting beside stretchneil
- 10:48 PM John J - Dividends? Noone’s getting dividends now!
- 10:48 PM Mark_Coughlan - “Many” 1500 isn’t “many” out of 1.2/5 million…
- 10:49 PM Alexia Golez - Cut to break!
- 10:50 PM John J - Ridiculous Mark, I’m afraid. Job losses like that have devastating impacts on local communities. And 1500 is an awful lot of people in north Dublin.
- 10:50 PM stretchneil - Hmmm, maybe I spoke a little too soon….. #vinb
- 10:51 PM John J - And, by the way, Mark, there are hundreds of thousands unemployed now. Every job loss is a tragedy
- 10:51 PM BrianGreene - @Mark_Coughlan when he has said it 1100 times and 60 times for the apprentices he can stop mentioning it in my ear shot. #vinb
- 10:51 PM Mark_Coughlan - All Joe Higgins has talked about for his campaign is SR Technics, every single time. And 1500 is NOT awful lot, cop on, there’s 120,000 people in Blanch alone.
- 10:52 PM BrianGreene - vote vinny B
- 10:53 PM Fergal Crehan - @Mark the total unemployed is not all that much as a total population either. Do we stop talking about it altogether?
- 10:53 PM BrianGreene - watch his conference with bloggers 4mins SRT 1hour not @Mark_Coughlan
- 10:53 PM Christine Bohan - Emmanuel definitely isn’t a commie. Just in case you were still harbouring suspicions.
- 10:54 PM John J - 120,000 people unemployer in Blanch? Get real Mark.
- 10:55 PM BrianGreene - @Mark_Coughlan Joe said Dell Waterford Crystal Eircom / he shares it about. SRT anger in Portmarnock/Bayside/Baldoyle is massive.
- 10:55 PM Mark_Coughlan - @Fergal no, but we dont talk about one small proportion time and time again. Where is Joe’s comment on Xillinex or other CityWest losses? It’ SRT over and over, why such a heavy run on that one company? There are far more, in his area too.
- 10:55 PM Mark_Coughlan - @John, 120,000 people overall.
- 10:56 PM faduda - @MArk_Coughlan where does Joe’s colleague Clare Daly work?
- 10:56 PM Fergal Crehan - @Mark the total victims of abuse are also a small proportion of the population. As are the total of those using the health service at at given time. You seem to be misunderstanding what politics is about
- 10:56 PM Alexia Golez - And Vinny sighs that his show has been chopped!
- 10:56 PM Alexia Golez - We sigh along with him
- 10:57 PM Suzy Byrne - leotraynor.wordpress.com
- 10:57 PM John J - He only referred to SRT cos Byrne had mentioned flying out to San Jose. That was the context of the airport. And there are far more than 120,000 unemployed, I’m afraid. Anyway, I am off now. Ciao.
- 10:57 PM Mark_Coughlan - @Faduda… ah sure now, would it be Dublin airport?
- 10:57 PM BrianGreene - @Mark_Coughlan SRT was Team Aer Lingus – privatised by Labour/Fianna Fail. lessons, lessons.
- 11:00 PM Mark_Coughlan - @John He brought up San Jose did he not by inferring it was an FF junket – as an excuse to bring up SRT
- 11:00 PM BrianGreene - @Faduda @Mark_Coughlan the boundaries of Dublin West changed. dublin airport is in Dublin West no longer Dublin North.
- 11:00 PM faduda - @BrianGreene and everyone who works there lives within the boundaries?
- 11:01 PM Simon McGarr - And suddenly TV3 has one of those desperate exploitation phone in horrors that nearly cost ITV their licence. Jarring.
- 11:02 PM Mark_Coughlan - @Simon yeah, where the fuck did that come out of… weird…
- 11:02 PM BrianGreene - @faduda no I am in Dublin North East. SRT friends of mine (in DNE) got sacked while there was a FULL 3 YEAR ORDER BOOK!
- 11:02 PM John J - @Mark I think Fergal had it right when he said you seem to be misunderstanding politics. And if you had been listening you would have known that he was replying to her comment, not the other way around. And he spoke about it in relation to jobs, not junkets. I’m afraid you display a certain juvenile naivety about politics, Mark.
- 11:03 PM Christine Bohan - No need to get personal there, John J.
- 11:04 PM ann_donnelly - Since when has TV3 had some cheesy gameshow on all night long? Vincent Browne cut short for that? Sign of bad economic times?
- 11:05 PM John J - One expects a slightle better class of debate, that’s all, Christine.
- 11:05 PM Mark_Coughlan - Hah, the irony is brilliant.
- 11:05 PM BrianGreene - €100 what’s the word? has he spoken to anyone yet? #tv3_shite_play_tv
- 11:06 PM John J - Anyway, off to the leaba. Bye y’all.
- 11:06 PM Suzy Byrne - Beuuuuuuuuuuutiful….
- 11:06 PM Mark_Coughlan - Well then take me on regards Joes constant chiming on about SRT. How come he doesnt chime on about the CityWest losses in the Tech and computing industry?
- 11:07 PM BrianGreene - Im off to the blip.fm thing… nn vinnyB fans
- 11:07 PM Mark_Coughlan - And as someone who has attended several Socialist Party meetings and is (was or) open to your politics, I’m telling you, you’re in the wrong party if you’re after high quality debate…
- 10:19 PM Alexia Golez - Up tonight, the European candidates for Dublin with Eibhlin Byrne, Mary Lou McDonald and Joe Higgins amongst others…
