Mick Wallace

I'm delighted that Mick is exposing corruption and cronyism. Hope he continues.
However is he not a bit hypocritical after his own tax antics?

Check with any builders you might know small or big when the **** hit the fan in 2007 and people decided not to pay their builder, the builder had to take drastic action, including delaying not paying their vat to keep their people employed. I failed in my struggle to keep afloat. Easy for people who had not the guts to take a chance to criticize the like Mick Wallace that did and the success he had. I think that Mick will retain his seat the next time around when you look at the trash in FG turncoat Hospital candidate and the other clowns that made promises and reneged. Will Howlin take his 5 million pension pot plus his golden handshake or have the guts to let the people chose.

He is a TD in the national Dail, not a councillor. Learn what your representatives are meant to do first

Any decent representative will have accomplished something in their reign. As much as I dislike FG, I must admit we haven't had any marches around the town to keep a 24 hour A+E service in our hospital since FF were kicked out. Nobody knows what John Browne did... don't ask me why people still vote for him, Howlin has allocated funding where it is needed most and meanwhile Wallace and Kehoe has nothing to show for themselves in Wexford. Did I see Wallace out campaigning of even endorsing sides in any referendum? We know what he's against, but what the hell is he for?

Is Browne running again? Definitely 1 FF seat maybe 2 if they run the right candidate. Wallace and Inds will affect Sinn Fein chances in Wexford.

I think his son James is running for election on the back of all the potholes his father repaired. Browne is officially stepping down at the election after a long and colourful career representing someone or something like that.

He got my 1st preference (and only vote cast by me) last time and he will again. He's one of the only TDs up there who does anything and he's in a different league compared to fools like Howlin and Kehoe.

But he has long hair and doesn't wear a suit!

Not easy see the work he has done in wx but he will get the anti establishment vote

Perhaps that's because he is more than a parish pump/pot hole filling, arsehole like most of our so called politicians.

+1 on that.
It absolutely made my blood boil to hear the like of Kenny,Gilmore and Rabbit who never done a decent days work or employed anyone in their life sneering ar MWs VAT problems when they never had to lie in bed in cold sweats on a Tuesday night wondering if you could make wages on a Friday or is your wife going to have a load of people outside the house looking for money.


They never employed people but EKs own FG office was good at paying cash in hand to their employees.


His dealings with family and finances seem a little suspect and im not sure if he has fully answered them fully but I remember seeing him when his firm was going well and employing a lot of people and he out laying kerbs at the side of the site with the rest of the lads instead of dining in Patrick Gillbauds.


Seems to me to be a man with a lot of integrity IMO but as always that is up to the good people of Wexford to decide if he is the real deal for them.

None of the politicians from the county could be accused of that-it might involve some work,one of the most economically deprived counties in the country yet not one even tried to help the place.As much as I don't like the parish pump politics we see it would help if some of them made good their promises of industry and jobs for the region.
I've got to give it to Wallace,he's not afraid to make his feelings known and bring to attention the behind the scenes brown envelopes and palm greasing that's still going on behind closed doors in the corridors of power.

I dont agree with parish pump style but how else is Wexford going to get things ? We nearly lost our a and e department there is feck all investment New Ross and Enniscorthy are going down hill, schools are over full nd running out of places

So Mick spent an hour in jail for refusing to pay a fine for breaking and entering.

Meanwhile he was willing to put up 5,000 in bail money for a fella who has been charged with membership of the IRA and was caught with a component part of an explosive device.

Sorry Mick but no, that's not what I want from my elected representatives and your actions so far as a TD have helped the people of Wexford, how exactly?

You got my vote the last time but my vote won't be going to you the next time around.

The bail thing was a strange one, but he will still get my one and only preference next time out.

On the subject of bail - what's all this about Mick trying to post bail for some IRA lad during the week?? Don't really get that one, thought he was against guns and all that bad stuff??

Ah sure yer man came from a good family

:rolleyes:

Awe great! Think Mick will loose a few votes on that one. Ha ha - that's the best yet - he came from a good family. Suppose it just confirms Mick is just the same as a lot of our TDs - they really don't get it do they? Cheers for the update

Where did Mick Wallace say that it was because the accused Donal O Coisdealbha came from a 'good' family? As far as I can see his family is known to Mick Wallace and that's all that's in the public domain. Interestingly, Donal O Coisdealbha is a stepson of one of the 'Columbia 3 Birdwatchers' http://www.irishnews.com/news/2015/05/18/news/men-charged-with-bomb-plot-ahead-of-charles-visit-123514/

As for losing Mick Wallace votes - his constituency is Co.Wexford not Foxrock and SF have serious support down here.
