The respectable face of dissent ( social worker types, womens council rich feminists, priests, fas supervisors etc) are back in partnership talks again, if they get a wage increase or a bit of extra EU funding, all this hollow criticism of the budget will soon stop.

The "Community Pillar" is in new partnership negociations with Bertie and Mary. I see they expessed a wee bit of 'anger' over the budget, I bet it wont force them to walk out (and stay out). Rumour has it that one of these conscience struck, individuals banged the table (with a damp sponge) Others went further and thretened to not vote again for FF and FG. A couple of brave souls, thought the unthinkable amd said that they might even vote for Rabittes labour.
