Diable Rouge to thread, I heard this morning that local polls are saying that the Healy-Raes don't have a snowball's chance in hell of both getting in, and they're at loggerheads because Michael wants idiot boy to step aside, naturally he's refusing. Have you heard anything.?

New government are still trying to find their offices and already Minister for Agriculture Barry Cowan has been sacked. Getting caught for drink driving was the start of it,rumours, which he has strenuously denied, that he attempted to evade a police checkpoint has probably finished him off.

He's still looking for a fight with the Taoiseach. It's fucking hilarious. Wonder if that snakey slow witted gom Thomas Byrne will get the job after leaking the story in the first place. At least he'd do less damage at Agriculture than European Affairs during Brexit endgame.

So that creeping Jesus Calleary got it then. Up Mayo.
Donal Skeehan's evil Lego haired big brother and the world's most cynical pro-lifer since Creighton as chief whip as well. Bound to be a Cowen led culchie backbench revolt by November so.

Michael Martin claims 'Society ' let down the women and children. He conveniently ignores the fact that Fianna Fail and Fine Gael ran society for the whole timeline of the Mother and Baby homes.

The past is a different country
And yet it's not
Working class single mothers were generally supported by their families in urban areas, rural land owning families were more inclined to push the single mothers to the homes.
Economics played a big role in the scandal, it was an impoverished state with a rigid social structure and anything outside of that was disruptive.
Economics and land still heavily influence politics today.
Ireland is a still a nation of charity instead of a nation of rights.
The report still has a lot of unexplained issues, notably the mismatch in deaths declared.

This report mightn't be as bad as Mr MacAlese's whitewash on the Laundries, but it looks to be running it close. Tax the bastarding churches, all faiths, get the fuckers out of healthcare and schools. Though I suppose the next big "oh how can this have happened under our noses?" report in say 30 years on Direct Provision will be purely a State evil. Fuckin bastard McDowell and pals.

Catherine Connolly skewering the whitewash of a report and the abysmal handling by the triumvirate of shite. O'Gorman standing over this report and the way the survivors were treated is another deserved mail in the Greens' coffin.

Mary Lou has been extremely low profile in the last few months. Maybe I'm missing stuff, but most of the criticism that's getting heard seems to be from Independents, and the likes of the Soc Dems and Boyd Barrett.

Maybe Sinn Fein were right keeping her quiet. On an interview for Today FM she expressed admiration for Kevin Spacey and Woody Allen, said artists talent should be seperate to the things they may do, and criticised Me Too as cancel culture.

None of the three parties have any motivation at present to break up the government. Fine Gael still have another turn as Taoiseach, Fianna Fail aren't high enough in the polls to risk an election, and the Greens will do what they're told. No, this one's going all the way.
