Shane Ross should have used this argument in his appeal.

I was at an event tonight where Ryan Tubridy said that there was too much negativity in Ireland and not enough positive thinking, how could any of us, and by that I mean unemployed young people like me, possible remain positive listening to the same corrupt practice day after day, month after month, year after year while vulnerable people suffer. AK you're right, the opposition are spineless too. Anything that man gets up to now does not surprise me following over two decades of corruption, lies and jobs for the boys.

For a large number amoung us the future is frightening, and that is right across the spectrum, whether employed, unemployed, ill, or elderly. But the most frightening thing is that with all that has happened in the last 12 months, and lets face it there was pleanty of questionable behaviour brought out in the open, the one thing that frightens me most is that during all that time, the combined opposition have not been able to capitalize on it enough to bring this current ship of fools down. Lets face it the combined opposition could not convince 3 independent T.D.s to vote with them on any motion or amendment. The opposition made a major miscalculation, in deciding to wait and let the government punch themserlves out over the budget, in the false hope of a FF backbench revolt, thereby bringing the government down. It was an amature miscalculation from an inept opposition, which is why Ahern and cronies can continue to carry on treating the people with contempt I’m not sure if there is a metaphor left, which could accurately describe the abhorrence that the majority of people in the country have, for all the architects and facilitators of the bankrupt state in which we as a nation now are.
