For ANY Irish politician who ever appeared on this show you should have started your contribution with something like "before I start let me say I'm a politician, can't be trusted, will tell bare faced lies to you and will talk total bollox"
A vision of Sinn Fein in a few years time. Mark my words [and that is not a dig at them, I just get the feeling they will do what Labour did]. Shame that all the major parties FG, FF, Labour and SF cannot be trusted,
It's a toss up as to whether Costello or Creighton gave the worst performance on Vincent Browne's program in the last 12 months. I'm talking about Costello's performance several days before Budget 2012.
Shouldn't Costello's answer been simply that the Labour Party stands for workers if this is in fact the case instead of his string of meaningless platitudes and BS that Vincent admirably dismantles?
I didn't watch this video, so I can't respond to criticisms of it. Joe Costello claims he was previously unaware of the new expenses allowed for PR, because that's the semi-plausible line of avoiding the question.
+Numinous20111 You are right "that's the semi-plausible line of avoiding the question". But being unaware of such significant happenings in a government of which you are part of just shows a whole new ill - complacency. To not know something like this, not that we even believe it anyway, just makes Joe Costelloe out to be a buffoon. It's a highly fraught defense really, as it is obvious that he will be asked "Well what do you think of this? What is your initial reaction to this news?" This doesn't give him a lot of time to think, and waffle and mislead, but an "initial reaction" is still expected, and is not unreasonable. So he really just made himself look like a buffoon there. God they're horrible people really. Of all walks of life where honesty is not only essential but most respected (and expected) they are the amongst the most dishonest and polished scumbags you could find. It wearies me. They have no balls whatsoever. Cowards, and greedy miscreants the lot of them.
Sionnach1601 Politics is about getting through the next interview, the next day and the next week without addressing anything damaging. But Irish politicians aren't a mutant strain of Irish citizen. Far too many people in Ireland are just like this and many of them have positions of authority or responsibility.
+Numinous20111 You are absolutely 100% right, sad to say. I think we are a nation of cowards when it comes to it. I don't identify my nationality as being "Irish" anymore as I'm just so ashamed to be born here. I try and fool myself into identifying as "Celtic" instead, people who had a bit of backbone unlike these modern craven, comfy Irish.
Joe Costello is no James Connolly after elect 2002, wife Emer was co-opted to his city council seat Proinsias De Rossa resigned 2012 as MEP. Among his reasons, according to the IT's, was that "it will also give Emer (Costello, his sub) a good chance for EU elections in 2014". Post GE 2011, Emer Costello's sis, Mary Moran, was one of Kenny's nominations to the Seanad. Sis 2, Grainne Malone, was nominated a District Court judge. The Scots/Irish patriot tied in a chair and shot has nothing to say
I Think sinn Finn is going to take over for labor in the next election In Ireland they have some good TD's Mary Lou McDonald Pierce Doherty Sandra McClellan
just of interest if you pay union dues 7 percent goes to the labour party they don't tell you that. When you join the any union your money pays for their election.
+Richard Martin Oh my God!!!!!!!! Is that still TRUE???? Are you kidding me???? Could you give us a trusted source for this info if you don't mind, as it's something I would really like to have, if this crap is true. Thanks
Siptu are as corrupt as the politicians. I am a member of Siptu and I hate the fucking fact that I am, but basically where I work, you have to be a member or you can't work there. Imagine being forced to join a union that you want no part of just in order to exist and put a roof over your kids heads. They don't like it when you criticise them either!
Get Vincent brown back. The tonight show isn't the same and the presenters just don't ask the hard questions. It's a full blown news round up show nowadays
These people were voted into power by Irish citizens, who apparently never learn anything. I'd not advocating any political party (although I tend to vote 'Left'). We need a radical change in this country as a necessity, not a desirable alternative.
I don't vote labour. But a simple answer here for Costello would be. The Irish people didn't give Labour the mandate they looked for, consequently they entered coalition and their plans were naturally subsumed by the larger party.
Joe Costello might have his falts, nobody is perfect. But Joe Costello seems like a nice gentle easy going guy. Vincent brown is a rude ignorant man, bully. He attacked joe here,very wrong. Vincent is a very cheeky man. If Vincent thinks he is soo smart why doesn't he run the country. He would attack martin mcguinness, but martin mcguinness was well able for Vincent, he wouldn't let him away with it.
Sounds like your one of these who doesn’t like people who tells it like it is and no better man than VB, McGuinness & Adams were experts in evading questions of their roles within the republican movement.
Vincent was the only broadcaster to put manners on these gangsters

agree
Costello must have been labotamised but he doesn't know.
VB is awesome.
Vincent brown is not awesome, he's a rude ignorant man. He's good challenging bankers and some politicians, but he is very disrespectful to thisman
gilmore criss crossed europe looking for an escape.
May God Bless you Vincent... Please continue to keep up the good work.
Bring back Vincent ,use ta b in stitches watchin the tonight show.

None of the corrupt fuckers can be trusted!
+Neil Carroll excellent
No politician can be trusted. They're all lying, cheating crooks!
Your being proved correct..
SF a left wing EU globalist party now .

Its like watching the muppets run the Country Labours way.
And no mention of his sister in law(Grainne Malone) being made a judge this year. HONESTLY ONLY COINCIDENCE!!!!!
I think the swamp needs sucking up a big pipe
Shouldn't Costello's answer been simply that the Labour Party stands for workers if this is in fact the case instead of his string of meaningless platitudes and BS that Vincent admirably dismantles?
Vincent you are a genius
The reputation of Ireland was not in tatters anywhere. Yeah, I live in Frankfurt.
Is it possible to just have one "volunteer" (and working independently) group of clever people to run this country?
isn`t there something gross in gilmore`s delivery?
thanks for the upload. add this code to the video tags to fix the aspect ratio - yt:stretch=16:9
First mistake '' labour a party for the people'' and only 5seconds in..
HE IS BACK FROM NIGERIA TRADE MISSION,.I SAW IT ON SOME FOREIGN CHANNEL,.
'Party of the People'???
Not of any people that I know
awesome
The red tie!!! Cliche & platitude spouter.
If Joe gets to share a platform with Tony Abbot and the Chinese President, Hu's on first.
Labour did NOT get their way. Frankfurt's way.
The country did recover. Eamonn Gilmore looks like a character out of Ballykilooly!
Costello, Gilmore and their party leader, Enda Kenny really haven't changed things one bit. Indeed in most instances things have dis-improved.

Scuzzers to the Joy!

Costello's holy litany.
total annihilation, especially the last 5 mins
@6.15.. There shouldn't be a fucking tunnel....
Joe could have done with a spin doctor 😂
Champagne socialism.

still true u have to write to your union saying i no longer want to support that entity
bastards or what.

The fickle deserted Labour for other parties,.

How any Irish person could vote for labor boggles the mind. They invoke James Connolly, they are the very people he despised
Frankfurt's way or pepper spray
PAY FOR YOUR OWN OPPRESSION.
HALVE the political caste's salaries, perks, expenses.
he has lost the plot
i think the labour lad is shmarter
