You are missing the point!
Yeah the point being rich people who create jobs are evil and should be shot!
Idiots like you want everybody to be poor and then be satisfied that they are equally as poor as the next!

There's a lot about the Greens in this issue, much of it a bit boring, to be honest. There's a profile of Vincent Salafia (always weird putting faces to the names), plus a full page P.ie ad, quoting the Sunday Times' nod to P.ie on the O'Dea thing. The magazine should be marketing itself as an anti-establishment informa-mag, it is coming across as an insiders' D4 eco-liberal navel-gazing bore-fest instead. If it isn't to go under then they really have to start thinking about what they're producing and who they're targeting.
I'm not an O'Leary fan, but the article, as quoted, looks like straightforward character assassination.

Long time ago the AR/AL state companies watched jealously as one of thier own,Tony Ryan, set up GPA and was very successful for many years but failed on their IPO and the vultures picked the bones, along the way he founded Ryanair which worked out and is now the World's biggest and best run airline.
Truly believe DAA/AL together with their longtime bed partner, FF, see Ryanair as theirs by right and will roll them over at every opportunity even if the chink of light they see at the end of a long tunnel is an oncoming train called MOL.
They must hold novena's on Bertie's patch begging for MOL's retirement, they should forget it MOL toys with them for his sport.
Well, it's not that there's anything inherently wrong with the articles or the topics involved in themselves, it's more that the magazine will only ever have massively limited appeal if it's doing 10 page spreads on the Green party, including fairly tame interviews with people like Gormley. It reads like an in-conversation between people of a very similar worldview. Instead it could be acting as a watchdog of sorts, exposing wrongdoing and hypocrisy. There are issues like, for example, what went on between the Gardai, the Government, and drug-dealer Kieran Boylan up in Louth, or what went on at the various dinners held on a cash-for-access basis just before Cowen became Taoiseach, or the scandal of how Michael Fingleton was uniquely facilitated by legislation hidden from view in 2002. Things that could really make a stir, rather than a conversation between people, writers and readers, who essentially agree with each other. There is a gap in the market for a publication that serves as a means of bringing injustice to the attention of a wider public, or which acts as a constant thorn in the side of government and big business.
Now that McDowell and Bertie are gone off to calmer seas perhaps Frank Connolly should make a comeback with his CPI, after all Chuck Feeney is still spreading the readies about, just built a house for the Pres of UL.
