Abraham's servant, went to visit Lot in Sodom and got in a dispute with a Sodomite over a beggar, and was hit in the forehead with a stone, making him bleed. The Sodomite demanded Eliezer pay him for the service of bloodletting, and a Sodomite judge sided with the Sodomite. Eliezer then struck the judge in the forehead with a stone and asked the judge to pay the Sodomite.

From today's Irish Independent exposing Willie O'Dea for the Sleveen he really is

Mr O'Dea is clearly hoping the reaction in the area to his outbursts will be along the lines of: "Good man, Willie, at least you're doing something."

The minister must think the people he represents are gullible to believe him when he is giving a version of events which he knows is completely contradictory to the position of the Government in which he serves.

In general though, within Government circles, Mr O'Dea's intervention isn't being taken terribly seriously. "Ah sure that's just Willie being Willie. This is why he gets his huge vote in Limerick East," an insider said.

Political Quote of the day

 

"It is inappropriate for the Government to intervene in the decision making of a private company. To do so would ultimately be damaging to the company and its customers."

To all Fianna Fail voters in the West of Ireland. 

Please shut up about the change of the Shannon Routes.  You voted for it, you got it! 

Please leave the outrage to people who opposed this decision from the start.  People like the Labour Party.

You voted FF and FF did exactly what they say on the tin.

Little Willie Style. Willie O Dea is still at it I see from tonights news. Willie is crying Wolf but doing nothing. He is all talk and no trousers. He should quit the Cabinet in protest. That could be respected. He wont he will whine on and everyone will say he did his best and Aer Lingus will be gone but Willie will always be around. Big Willie Style.

Willie O Dea is as two faced now during the Aer Lingus Shannon crisis as he was during the taxi strike during the new licences protests. O Dea voted for the measures and then protested about it at home in Limerick. Now as a minister he supported the selling off of Aer Lingus and now he is blaming the company instead of taking responsibility. Typical two faced O Dea. No shame and wont take the blame.

Privatisation doesn't work

7:58 PM 0
So it seems Privatisation doesn't work. Well not for the people in the South West of Ireland. Aer Lingus' decision to pull a profitable and vital route out of Shannon is proof of the massive flaws of privatization.

The Shannon London route was a vital piece on international infrastructure which has been destroyed for a purely capitalist pursuit of profit. There can be no doubt that there will be hundreds if not thousands of jobs lost in the coming year due to this decision.

Worse still is the silence coming from our government who own a quarter of the airline. Aer Lingus will profit from this decision but the people of Ireland will not. This is raw unrestricted capitalism at its best.

This disaster lies at the feet of Bertie Ahern and Fianna Fail.
