@_williamkennedy @McAuleyGer Unfortunately we will get to a point where the data suggests actions are required that will prove very unpopular with some powerful vested interest and the wheels will come off. That’s usually how it goes

@Brad_Setser @talmonsmith Just taking Apple as an example I’m well aware of the Ireland numbers over the years but is Singapore new to the mix for them?

@PaulSommerville I’ve never seen a quango that shrunk!

@gregallenRTE Blimey, the men’s marathon standard is the world record time from about two decades ago. The new running shoes must be good

[Pat Mitchell @Mitchell4Pat]

@antepostjake @BabyAppleFC True, but he would likely have been 3 second quicker than State Man had he stood up at the last

[Pat Mitchell @Mitchell4Pat]

@antepostjake @BabyAppleFC I don’t think a faster Supreme is unusual, prior year Kopek was I think 4 seconds+ faster than Golden Ace winning time. I wouldn’t read too much into it myself.

@jonnyfallon @ExCllrRedmond I’d love to know what centre right policies they have implemented in the last 10 years? Just look at where they have shifted on budgetary tax/spend ratios

[Pat Mitchell @Mitchell4Pat]

@Robcass78 Post crash from around 2011 there seemed an opportunity for some imaginative policy but the gov were all about recover property prices to their peak and beyond. Good for the banks and property owners but selling an entire generation down the river

@MichaelPTKelly Those four parties all wear the same coat, shirt, trousers and shoes. They wear a different hat and scarf that gives the appearance they are more different than they actually are.

@LarryPDonnelly @marionmckeone @cooper_m So who wins the upcoming Democratic centre v left battle?

[Pat Mitchell @Mitchell4Pat]

@_williamkennedy @1Dunbogue William did u come across any records that spending is been assessed for outcomes ie value for money/quality of delivery

[Pat Mitchell @Mitchell4Pat]

@ExCllrRedmond talks like he took up his position in government on Tuesday, so much of this has been happening on his watch.

@eoinodr @proxman77 @FineGael Without a new leader and deputy leader you will get nowhere. Your problem is at the top

[Pat Mitchell @Mitchell4Pat]

@Mullins77David I recall the Troika heavily emphasised legal system reforms were required every but as much as banking/ financial sector but damn all done by the government on the legal front

[Pat Mitchell @Mitchell4Pat]

@MrBazMc1 @KeithMillsD7 Indeed, even within states, I have friends paying $10k pa who tell me it would be $15k on the same value house in the town 15 miles down the road.

[Pat Mitchell @Mitchell4Pat]

@KeithMillsD7 @MrBazMc1 And property taxes over there are probably 20x what they are here

[Pat Mitchell @Mitchell4Pat]

@fiannafact Why are government funding advocacy NGOs? Why would they pay for vested interest groups, activists and lobby groups who provide no services to try to influence them, surely they can do that on their own dime.

[Pat Mitchell @Mitchell4Pat]

@Clearpreso Thanks, I’ll check that out

@MarkLTighe How much the department knew about this campaign video before it was released would be interesting in terms of who is actually running the show on these campaigns
