In all fairness, how could you believe anything that this man says after his “isn’t that what you do during elections” comment.
He’s Snared
Pinocchio
Exactly Jack, nothing more than a crook
Ah sure he is bringing in more ‘experts’ and they are going to work for nothing. Of course you would be reassured and believe every word out of his mouth.
the con goes on
Here we go again … A government looking for the cheap quick fix option to start bringing in more taxes . The only sustainable and ethical option is below ground to stop Ireland looking like a junk scrap yard . First we had rubbish estates dotted all over the country and now we have these monstrosities threatened . When I heard that a possibility of a €30,000 sweetener was being offered to those going to live beside a pylon it summed up the pay off shut up culture that is Ireland . Disgusting.We need to stop being so cheap and tacky in our payout compensates for all attitude, everyone needs to stop these pylons. Our decision makers may be visionless but our land is our legacy and beautiful . They will destroy it for some easy revenue .Speak up for it before its destroyed. It’s ours. We deserve better
Great now reassure us on the tv license by ending the travesty that a citizen in a republic can go to jail for refusal to subscribe to a state mandated TV channel.
Go on Pat…SHOCK us…do something thats actually consistent with going around calling yourselves democratic socialists…STUN us by actually doing something progressive….
And who would trust rabbit?
Trust him. His relatives are undergrounding experts.
Is that – Pat Rabbitte – of -
Official SF / SF Workers Party / Workers Party / Democratic Left / Labour Party ?
I wouldn’t believe a word from anyone who has had almost as many Party’s , as Birthday’s !!!!!!
@eddie sssshhhhh you can’t mention the past of the labour party politburo.
Who knows some good journalists might unearth some interesting goings on.
Ah but sure most of the Irish journos don’t do journalism just opinion pieces. Its safer.
Rabbitte – the Labour Party vermim.
Run Rabbitte,
Run Rabbitte,
Elmer Fudd is going to shoot you in your lying hairy hole………….
Can’t ya just smell the desperation with the up coming elections?
Remember what he said on the week in politics, you lie to people when it’s coming up to elections, tell them what they want to hear
Had forgotten that Danny – an admission. Bright boy that.
Rabbitte can not tell the truth about any thing he is a proven liar.
The question is not over or underground. The question should be why is the lines needed at all. The spin about jobs and reinforcing the grid is total crap. In 2008 we were at fully employment. The place was hoping and we were using 20% more power than we are now. The grid was fit for purpose then and nobody was talking about the need to upgrade. Grid 25 is only planned because of the huge number of windfarms planned. If Rabitte gets his way, we will be Europe’s windfarm, with a countryside full of pylons and substations. Welcome to Ireland.
Absolutely hit the nail on the head there Hugh..did you see him squirm last night on prime time when figures from Eirgrids own transmission forecast report was fired at him?? jobs..jobs..jobs for the regions… is all he could say..everyone can see he’s blustering..he’s been revealed…
Rabbitte not possible to believe a word he says any more after his comments about winning elections. What a waste of space.
Why waste more money. Just tell us where they are going to place the pylons as it’s probably already been decided
Hmmm wonder what’s he thinking in this picture?
“Please God, let these clowns believe my bullshit”
How about the newsreader that said yesterday that they were now looking into the cost of putting the pylons underground !!!!
Spin, spin *local and national elections* spin, spin.
Fintan Slye? What an interesting name.
Its all in the name. An honourable name will be honourable and a dishonourable name will be dishonourable.
Who is going to believe a word from this self confessed liar?
They shoulda just built these yokes and asked for forgiveness later. The nimby lobby is taking over the asylum.
Yeah planning and public consultation suck don’t they?
Yes Norm, they really, really suck. Total waste of time and resources. These babies will be built. Post election, of course. Personally, I can’t wait.
Forgot to use my sarcasm font.
I’d wait and see in regards to these pylons, people are beginning (and not before time) to get p*ssed off being walked over by government and political parties.
Major infrastructure should really be exempted development. Its in the national interest that this stuff is built. With 400,000 people without a job to go to tomorrow, I think a few pylons on the landscape is a very small price to pay to enhance the opportunity of job creation in the country.
Did you type that with a straight face?
Just replace the word “national” and insert the words “golden circle” and you are closer to the reason this infrastructure is being built, Mcgoo. open your eyes. the information is all there if you just read it. by the way. these pylons / massive wind projects will destroy rather than create jobs…and cost the taxpayers a fortune…
Norm I’ve got current first hand experience of unemployment under my roof so you don’t have to patronise me on that front bro. Dave, golden circle thinking is a bit 2004 to be fair. Not a valid argument here kid.
Mcgoo if you believe the spin and bullshit, me patronising you is the least of your worries.
Absolute bull mr mcgoo there will be no jobs as the will be specialists jobs coming from Europe. Instead of listening to mr bunny rabbit and his half truths how about finding out yourself pros and cons of pylons verses underground. You might learn something.
The real truth which the powers that be have decided to used Ireland as a power plant for the UK and Europe. You and I will not feel any of the benefits such as cheaper electricity or jobs. Don’t be so naive. This is big business and big business only. So if it is big business why don’t they want to go underground as most are done in Europe. They never even bother to do any study of that option only doing it now after all the bad press. And that bothers me that they never bothered to really study that option. It can be done, if we really need to, but bury the cables. If any one of you guys are reading this just do one thing please stand beside one of those large pylons. And feel the buzz but not a nice buzz. And then imagine living beside one. 50 meters near. Hmmm
No thanks.
You are just the type of gormless open mouthed fool that Rabbitte, Kenny & co aim their lies at Mcgoo
@ Róisín Daly . Why can we not let these big corporations spend and invest their money in Ireland at the moment. All we have to do is vote out the present political establishment in 2016 and nationalize everything.If they have not spent on the infrastructure they can’t complain and the only ones ones to lose out are the politicians and they have sold us out. We will known who they they are by their rhetoric.
@ Jack it’s a rock and a hard place and in anything to do with politics in this country there has to be a catch. There always is. Ffs me tired of all the bs from politicians.
Mcgoo, very 2004, absolutely right,you would think we would have learned something from that era but we haven’t, its the ff tent at the Galway races all over again, that’s the energy policy being persued by our government. I really can’t understand why you have such incredible trust in rabbitte and the senior civil service and eirgrid. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me..more and more people are waking up to this whole wind scam, check out wind aware Ireland if you want to further inform yourself…
“Pat Rabbitte wants to reassure the public” ?
That reminds me of when he was reminded of Labour’s General Election promises which were not kept.
His Reply –
To Quote: “Isn’t that what you do at election time” – i.e. make promises with no intention of keeping them.
No more needs to be said about Mr Rabbittes reassurances.
Bogs first, now pylons, let’s hope the electorate are not as stupid as Mr Rabbitt once said they were..
The people have spoken come out in force against the pylons and won the day. How come the people don’t do the same thing against illegal taxation being forced on by FG/L?
All good things to those that wait
His finger nails are those of a very hard worker…. NOT!!!!
Ha ha what a rich joke of a man looking forward to his massive pension.
Who has the last laugh he does pension
Lump sum sunset . Lying ba-t–d
Pat Rabbitte wants to reassure the public about something? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAH.
And we should believe a word out of his mouth because? (long pause)
Just seen comment by Jack Cass.
Good to see good minds think alike.
May Rabbittes reply be shoved down his troat at next general election, if he dares to put himself forward again.
Never have i witnessed such ignorance and cockiness from a politician and former leader of Labour. He has done his party and labour colleagues a major injustice.
Shouldn’t the Great British monarch be consulted about these pylons in her supposed territory? Oh, forgot. No one ever consults her about anything. All right then let McGuiness and her panel do the job they are paid to do. As a matter of interest how much is the retired sludge and her panel getting paid?
We’re a republic with a few years now pet
I’m guessing she was talking about the North …….
The NIMBYs are a fanatical bunch.
An expert group is 99% likely to confirm the Eirgrid position.
No point wasting effort trying to get the blind to see.
What did rabitte do before he became a full time waster ?.
Would super fast broadband along the routes of the grid reinforcement increase property values?
and doesn’t burying power lines increase health and safety risks considerably?
Care to provide a link to those risks your alluding to?
So not able to provide links to your assertion of health risks caused by underground cabling, didn’t think so.
Norman, unfortunately these comment threads are full of posters being paid by eirgrid, wind developers etc to re hash industry spin and try and discredit those who would expose their dirty secrets..
Pat Rabbite just burned McGuinness J., publicly.
have your say
