I sincerely hope that there are some good and caring Irish people in America, Canada, New Zealand, Australia etc. who are well aware of what’s going on at home and will come out and demonstrate wherever these wasters show up! Tell your family members and friends abroad, who have been forced to emigrate by the actions of this so called government, to let these miserable ministers know how they feel at the St Patrick’s Day parades around the world.
Keep Calm & Crowd Fund….
I’ve seen it all now
I wish you would shit in your hands. I’ve had two jobsbridge candidates who are still employed. Attitudes like your are the reason hard working folk resent social welfare.
