Enda Kenny promises hope, possibility and confidence for Ireland entering EU Presidency

THE ONLY THING I HOPE FOR IS THAT ENDA GOES BACK TO THE BOGS OF MAYO AND LETS GET ALL THESE OLD FELLAS OUT OF IRISH POLITICS AND GET SOME NEW YOUNGER BLOOD IN THERE BEFORE THEY TOTALLY DESTROY WHATS LEFT OF IRELAND WHO NOW BY THE WAY IS SO IN DEBT TO THE EU AND GERMANS THAT WE HAVE BECOME A WORLDWIDE JOKE

If you played the theme from the Muppet show along with a photo of the Irish government people would not be able to tell it from the real thing.

"HOPE" never paid a for a household bill

Turkish Serbian Polish Finnish Battle Group would be nice President. Send them to Armagh.

Returning from my daily constitutional to Phoenix Park today, I spied with my little eye a spanking new union jack flying from a flag pole outside Dubin City Coucil (DCC) offices on Essex/Wood Quay. First though we were back in the UK, but on rubbing my eyes, realised it's apropos our EU Presidency thingy. Noted with interest how the flag of the other EU countries were the other side of the EU flag, possibly connoting Ireland's the proximate relationship between the British and/or Irish Isles, and either or boths persuasive influence on the mainland administration. Must be one of the British union flags they spent €500 on last year for HM EIIRs "partnership of equals" visit, which they neglected to fly in the Irish capitol due to the Gardaí being on tenterhooks against a possible dissenting republican spectacular which never materialised. Better late than never, I suppose. And better flying than burning a neighbours flag, like those loyalist lads at Belfast City Hall in the Ulster provincial capitol, who hopefuly can muster a little reciprocity. After all, how facilitating can a nation be flying the flag of an insular neighbour, which retains an emblem pertaining to ones own.

No comment.
