[MrSav0]

liars

[waaeaa]

Serve the people, keep Ireland and it's meagre resources for the Irish ppl. Stop immigration, stop trying to make us look like America. Serve the 3rd world not by creaming off their best and brightest, continually taking those people, so that their countries are left with barren soil.

Educate, support them, but send them back, to help lift their own countries. Stop trying to ape the U.S & pander to EU rule by implementing their multicultural and immigration policies. It is the death of Ireland

[waaeaa]

Look at the disastrous effects of multiculturalism in Britain and Europe. Look at the violence, homelessness, pushing indigenous European people into 2nd class citizenship, denying them their identity, denying them their rights and the birthright entitlement of their land for them.

END EU MULTICULTURALISM AND IMMIGRATION POLICIES- IT SERVES THE RICH

[MulticulturalPawn]

What can your polticial party do about the constant influxes of immigrants,we are not interested in being sold out to europe and your multicultural spin,of having more immigrants,according to some genetic researchers,we irish people will be the ethnic minority within 20 years,what are you doing to close the ports,we don't see the immigrants going back home,we are being sold out to the fat irish greedy dinosaurs look at the uk,RADICALS WILL OVERTHROW YOU IF YOU CONTINUE THIS LINE!

[IrishAgenda]

Eamon Gilmore is the only man who can lead Ireland out of this crisis. FF and the Greens have ruined this country, FG the main opposition party stood by with their weak leader and let it happen. Gilmore is the only man who can act on what the people are calling for, CHANGE OF GOVERNMENT LED BY LABOUR!!!!!

[Sidwellmg]

@IrishAgenda Well he's a very quite man these days isnt he, a yellow belly man if I ever saw one

[IrishAgenda]

GILMORE FOR TAOISEACH!!!!

[AtheistIreland]

23:14 One Ireland of diverse religions and of no religion .... an Ireland of equals.

Atheist Ireland welcomes such positive & progressive statements. Too many feel like outcasts here in Ireland with the legal discrimination against Irish people that chose not to have a religion.

Atheist Ireland also welcomes a review of the constitution to reflect everyone in Ireland and nullify the current privileged pedestal given to the CCL

[robertk1968]

Very powerful speaker, however his is a pure socialist, his understanding of the philosophy of politics is very stunted, too full of jingoistic phrases, he does not have any grasp of the globalists, The Irish Central Bank and being owned by the FED and the IMF, Libertarianism, limited government, true free market economies, sound money etc etc etc. Shame though, I feel that he is genuine but just very naïve.

[Seano71]

@robertk1968 no, your naive believing in all that tea party bullshit form the US

[robertk1968]

@Seano71 I would love to hear how you came to the conclusion the the tea party movement is bullshit? I am always interested in listining to the opinions of people who are able to sum things up in a fair and balanced manner!

[tiger1770]

Proves he is just a soundbite politician. No policies evident, total lack of leadership showed. Pity Pat Rabbittee is no longer around.

[Seano71]

@tiger1770 what? He stated dozens of polices in this speech and Pat Rabbitte is one of the most, if not the most active politician on media.

[tiger1770]

@Seano71 Pity he is no longer leader I mean, Rabittee was amazing and always had substance. There is no substance to the above speech. Total waffle.

[soflynnirl]

" theres very few people there! "

Eh the room is Full??

[tiger1770]

@soflynnirl Its a TINY room!

[STITTY07]

theres very few people there!

[brandonlovesmonkeys]

I'm sorry but the Labour party is no different it's like I've heard it all before... bla bla bla the same

[kulan2]

@brandonlovesmonkeys Would you have the Irish Electorate vote for FG who would offer or no change or the some small party that can change nothing.

[brandonlovesmonkeys]

@kulan2 I personally will vote FG I believe they will bring radical change .

[kulan2]

@brandonlovesmonkeys FG are to conservative and would keep things the way they are. They even supported NAMA.

[animegalc4]

@brandonlovesmonkeys Get your head out of your arse and wake up.

[animegalc4]

@brandonlovesmonkeys You do know this is a party that has never had a candidate elected to the office of Taoiseach so how would you know?

[jessieok]

Re write the constitution fit for purpose in 2010. what a joke, if the constitution needs changing, AMEND IT!!

But there is no way the people of present day can write a new one with the interest of EVERY Irish person in mind, it would be full of legalese and loop holes. the people that wrote the first constitution made the ultimate sacrifice to to achieve it, DEATH .The present day government won't even sacrifice a decent pay cut.

[papadioup8]

(1)The constitutional reform sounds like a promising path forward. I would make two points regarding this. Firstly, I would propose the danger of such a move without due accordance with the safety of not allowing all citizens a decision in this reform. Acceptance of this new constitution must be a great majority decision.

[papadioup8]

(2)And secondly also regarding another aspect of this point, I would propose a future date be added to this new constitution, whereby on this future date the new constitution be examined for its viability with its current society. If society is in flux and always advancing forward, why then, should its system of governance not be?

[papadioup8]

(3)Through this simple addition of self accountability, we may eliminate any stagnating policies that plague a society through, dated practises and allow future generations the readiness for change should it so be needed. The state we create today may not be suitable for future generations. I would not doom this system to a "forced" future change through its lack of ability to adapt and thereby failure. A constitution is a social contract between a body of people and the state they create.

[LewisQ]

Pathetic. Shameful. "One Ireland of employers and employees"; "Not the time for conflict or division"; "Challenging terrain of reform."

Just another anti-union, anti-worker, pro-business party like the rest. We have nothing in common with your kind, Gilmore. We have no common interests. Labour is anti-socialist, anti-worker, anti-working class and pro-business. For shame.
