Jack O'Connor..Tom Parlon-Take your pick.

[birthday]

Jack O'Connor (SIPTU) and Tom Parlon (CIF ex PD) represent opposite ends of the political spectrum but were once 'social partners'. Both represent special interest groups, the pandering to which by FF has played such a special role in the background to our unfolding economic nightmare. It is difficult to decide which of these individuals represents a greater irritation to the senses when there voices are heard on the national airwaves pushing their narrow agendas but oblivious to any responsibility for the mess we are in.

David Begg offends all 5 senses and one's personal disposition.

Ol' r r r right wing Jacko hasn't the smarts to be dangerous.

can we use the pick, the sharp end and the handle, with extreme prejudice?

[Munion]

Personally I see very little difference between the two of them.

I would not be a big fan of spitting on people but for parlon I would make an exception. me feiner scum. Cowen did a great job shafting that traitor. The fact that anyone in FF(as above) would defend parlon shows us where the party went wrong. Anyone who thinks he is a pin up boy should be run out of ff too.

Peetr McLoone is the one who p!sses me off.
As chairman of FAS he presided over tremendous waste of public money, then whinges about the pension levy imposed on his members.

Oh, and he is from Donegal; no-one from that county should be allowed to hold a public appointment. Move it into Northern Ireland, I say.*****

You are not fit to be in FF, why did you not join the PDs?

[turdsl]

If you mention those two names you have to also include Charlie McCreevy for the great misfortune the country is in.

OP, the title of the thread has a typo: you forgot to put the letter "r" in pick"!

It would be interesting to hear what these two Social Partners have to say about their fellow Social Partner CORI.
Incidentally has anyone seen or heard of Father Healy, spokesperson for CORI, cat seems to have got his tongue at the moment.
