Mick Wallace

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.

The man built a football club from nothing and they currently stand proud at the top of the 1st Division, so I admire him for that. Otherwise, he is as mad as a bag of spanners. Luckily, none of our TDs actually do anything tangible, so no harm having him in the Dail

Is he mad? He was right about the Garda penalty points and the Nama money 'resting' Father Ted style in an Isle of Man account to name but two things. This country (and the EU) runs on corruption that would put Greece to shame - I know from my own experiences but unlike Mick Wallace have no way of putting my information out there.

You could post it up here for us to read it!

I wish.

Didn't give him first preference last time, gave it to Howlin but I won't be making that mistake again.
Fair play to Wallace, he's been the butt of jokes and ridicule from the self centred "senior " TDs but he has proven his mettle. He still has some questions to answer himself but I've come to the conclusion that he has more integrity than most of our government TDs.

- Did'nt give him no.1 last time ,and won't this time either .

Sent him 2 emails - his secretary rang me on the first issue ,and he never replied to me on the 2nd issue , which I got another TD to sort out for me .

He is whistleblowing all over the place lately ,and is going to cost the taxpayer millions , and make barristers / judges / committee members richer .

Probably has a valid reason for doing this , but not in the taxpayers interest , but in his own interest ,if he does'nt get re-elected .

Living in Wexford , I havn't heard of anything he has done for the county .

Kehoe and Howlin are useless for WX, the choices are so limited when it comes to WX politicians.

I hear this morning that Twomey is not standing for reelection. Very strange that, I wonder is it to give Kehoe a boost, as he was looking shaky or to give Darcy's little boy another crack. FG have a fight to keep two seats this time around and Howlin's position looks decidedly perilous.

Howlin is the minister for public service reform, which is the biggest mill stone on the State and he has done NOTHING. He alone did not get the schools, extensions, Garda station etc. He had an ideal opportunity to tackle inefficiency and he bottled it. Shameful

Here here, like he did nothing in previous ministerial positions.

As for Twomey - a joke of a politician and a waste of a seat. Nice pension id say and a grand job to go back to, another happy independent, sorry, fine gael, politician decides not to contest next election as they dont want to be embarrassed in the next election. Labour/fine gael = joke in Wexford.

Wallace doesn't have a Clinic so pretty pointless going to him for favours,considers himself to be a national politician apparently.

Worth his keep as a pot stirrer in fairness.
Think I read in one of the free rags that he thought he would either top the poll or lose his seat in the next election. Obviously has plans.

Thought he had clinics in ferrycarrig park no?

No idea.He has his constituency office down there.
To quote himself "I don't do clinics or funerals".

In fairness that's what he was elected to be, we pay councillors good money to look after local issues.

If you're refused a medical card or planning permission according to the rules how do those rules get changed when a TD gets involved?

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.

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.

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.

+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.
