Sinn Fein group walk out of Parliament over failure to discuss Anglo Irish bail out

gobdawpaddy your first sentence should read "... and improve your standard of english".That bloody glass house is full of gobsh.tes and plastic Irish morons.

Peter, you are really going to have to educate yourself and improve your standard of the english language. When you post on this website you are representing the Irish contributors here. You can't always be seen as backward.

Gobshite. You're full of bullsh*t as usual.Did I ever tell you about the time I got food poisoning in New York?I was doing cartwheels in the toilet wondering which end was going to spew next for 24 hours.I guess most Americans sell contaminated food.But I guess (not all)What I do know for sure is Americans have an idiot issue.Seeing that you live over there along with Georgy Boy.

Audrey, no clue what George's experience might have been but my experience's in Ireland are evidence to me that Irish people in general (not all) have issues with hygeine. On a recent trip I observed a bartender eating her nails and then picking up a scone to serve to a customer. I outlined part of my 'dirty' Irish hospital experience below, appalling.

i bet they claimed their attendence allowance for that day.

Hilda and Niall, I think George Dillon just goes on this site to annoy Irish people because he had a bad experience when he lived in Dublin apparently.Our hospitals and schools,despite the shortage of money and staff at the moment are NOT DIRTY. I speak from personal experience. What's this story about a toilet seat? George is the same about all things Irish, he dosen't like the Irish Army either (of which I am a member). SO JUST IGNORE HIM!

One of the most dangerous places to be in Ireland--a hospital. But if you have to be hospitalized, let's hope you can be placed in a "virtual ward". That's a trolley in a corridor, by the way. Much better than the standard Irish hospital accommodation--a toilet seat.

Bilgegate has never ever been an honest broker in Irish affairs.His contempt for everything Irish is very transparent.It's lucky he doesn't make sense.Even his school boy bully analogy is incorrect.FG & Labour are in power and they are the people who can BULLY legislation through and also decide the agenda.As in the school yard the best form of protest is to just walk away.Sinn Fein is exactly the opposition that we need at the moment.Bilgegate doesn't really know why he's against everything Irish.Like the Unionists his Daddy told him to be.

They have a right to walk out.Nobody here knows for sure if the bail out plan is the correct way to go or not.This is why I vote for Sinn Fein.They bring things to the attention of the public.It forces the government to be more careful in their decision making.

something stinks here,why cant it be re negosiated,and brought out into the open?why cant they explain why these negosiations were arrived at,whats to hide,demand transparency,

The government should have had some floor debate on this issue, especially in the light of the fiasco in Greece. Instead of walking out of the Dail Sinn Fein should have held fast to their seats and continue to maintain a presence on the floor. Walking out always leaves your opponents in charge of things, and that is never good. Slainte!

The united left alliance and Sinn Fein exercised their democratic right to walk out in protest.The government muzzled debate on the bail out plan exercising their right under parliamentary standing orders,this is how parliamentary democracies work.Towngate posted on the 25th. of October that "Pearse was a visionary,had leadership qualities,a racist,a traitor and a fantasist".Towngates is not an honest broker in this debate and I find this disappointing.

That's it lads! ... such statesmanlike behaviour! ...Still, after your kicking in the Aras election, when you barely got the SF vote out - ye may as well keep on walking ... The Dail is not a playground for schoolyard bullies!

Keep on walking and don't let the door hit you on the way out.

@gobdawpaddy, as an RN I'm shocked that basic hygiene practices were not followed in the hospital you went to. Old or new, hospitals need to be responsible in seeing that all of their personnel working in them are in compliance with vital hygiene standards to prevent the spread of disease. This is true of hospitals and clinics in every country.
