    She took bloody strips off him though. Bloody sickened me. If this is the type of person in Seanad Eireann I truly despair. Things are bloody bad enough.

    Rant over, but it was a bloody poor performance in public, by someone who should know better.

    Any more details on how she exactly tore stripes off him? What exactly did she say?

    Pity you didn't get a video on your phone. It'd make for great YouTube footage. :-D

    I would imagine the individual in question would then think it was a good idea to "ban" YouTube and phones.

    You should name and shame them.

    People who think that they are some sort of celebrities and behave like asshats should be exposed at every possible occasion. Otherwise they will think this is acceptable behaviour.

    How does this work? If you mention her, shows up in her public feed? and she has the option of deleting the mention, but not your tweet?

    It was during the launch of the Galway Hooker at the docks. Unfortunately, I can't disclose much information due to the company I work for. Didn't have a pass to attend, told said figure to obtain one but walked past.

    No. Doesn't show up in her public feed at all.

    Only you and twitter can delete your tweets.

    I sent her a tweet. I'm having a slow day. I'm tempted to report her for spam while I'm at it.

    I haven't gotten a reply to my tweet as yet anyway. Not expecting one to be honest. In general I find it distasteful and annoying that politicians like to jump on the technology bandwagon to publicise themselves and aren't shy about inflicting their press releases and other publicity material on their friends and followers, yet they run for cover or seem unable to find the reply button when something either critical of them or calling them out on something gets posted.

    Sorry, I didn't know who ye were on about, so I googled Senator Athenry and got http://www.labour.ie/lorrainehiggins/ She's from Athenry, Galway East, makes more sense. Eames is from Galway west - just checkin'?? :confused:

    Eames is from Oranmore.

    Lorraine Higgins would never pull a stunt like this.

    Fair play, Cap'n.

    This kind of crap should be highlighted and shouted down (especially through the wonders of social media) wherever it's found.

    Shame 'em into submission!

    The OP pretty much acknowledged that it was FHE earlier in the thread. Lorraine Higgins is hardly "well known". Also, Lorraine Higgins doesn't have a rep for being a self obsessed thundering so and so.

    Is this the same senator who felt she was entitled to a seat in the general election February 2011?

    The Advertiser have been running this (without a link, naughty) on their Facebook so it should be reaching a suitably braying mob.

    Also Broadsheet have it.

    Some healthy linking and tagging could go a long way to producing some curious google results...

    We should track our tweets with the use of a hash tag.

    How about? #freewheelin or something. Every tweet you send to her should have the same tag so we can all see what each of us are saying to her.

    Oranmore people go to Athenry to get the train because it's easier than trying to get into Galway.

    Just lobbed off my first tweet to her. Do a search on twitter for #freewheelin to see it.

    #gravytrain would be better.

    Maybe #healyeamesfaredodger might be better and more specific!
