Plural of Taoiseach and Enda Kenny.

Terry

Do you know the plural of Taoiseach off the top of your head?

If Enda Kenny's Facebook account is anything to go by, he doesn't.

I'd ask that you not reply with the plural.
Please wait for the poll instead.

Screenshot to come.

See the bottom of the second pic (also, please excuse the grammar just above the end of the pic. "Thing" instead of "this").

The electorate.

The plural of Taoiseach is Taoisigh.

Enda (or whoever was responding) was quoting a previous Taoiseach. I think the error occured by not putting "A" at the begining of a sentence. Nothing to get worked up over.

How do you know, and who was he quoting?

mikemac

No.

So the whole point of this thread is due to a typo, a mere choice of an incorrect word.

Enda Kenny is a fluent Irish speaker. I'm sure he knows more Irish the most here.

Taoiseach/Taoisigh

Fair play for EK to taking the time to respond to someone on facebook, not even a constituent but then gets a thread started over an incorrect word?

I don't know, i said I think.

Whatever though, it makes sense because a direct quote was used.

Unless various Taoisigh used the same quote which is extremly unlikely.

I do not know who he was quoting, maybe you should have asked him when you were sending each other messages.

Thanks Terry for solving the mystery of the missing Taoiseach, you remind of a young Jeremy Paxman with your style of un-ravelling Irelands darkest secrets!

Was this thread started to have a pop at Enda Kenny?

If so, it fails on so many levels.

Thread kinda stinks of a lame failed attempt to make Kenny look bad.

The sentence in question needs a "the" at the start in order to be 100%, that's all.

What a stupid reason for a thread.
I'm no fan of Enda Kenny but this really is petty.

A failed teacher, why do you think he ended up in politics.

Has Enda really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

enda1

No.

When used in the official capacity then the plural is as per the first reply,. Though there is an argument to be made that when the word is used in English in casual speak then Taoiseachs is acceptable just like the word espresso is pluralised to espressos in English rather than espressi as it would be in Italian.

tommyhaas

I think a more important question is what is that blacked out on the toolbar of the second picture? Reckon it could be the search results for ''Plural of Taoiseach''

The

As said, I doubt he was attributing a direct quote to more than one person....

And your last response to Enda on his Facebook page is embarrassing. Easy to see why most politicians choose not to engage in constructive conversation with the general public regularly.

Fail.

I have been saying that Kenny was a total Gob!hite for years. Now we hear of him being an ex teacher he can't even spell. What about the poor kids he tried to teach. Now we have the prospect of him being the next Tshirt. The country has no future we are replacing the Clown with Gob!hite. :(:eek:

CJ had the "Well daddy voted for that FF politician, so I'm going to vote for his successor" vote, which is why FF keep getting into power.

If Fitzgerald had the same support from the idiots of this country, we would, in my opinion, be hearing similar stories about him now, and would be having more tribunals which end up with the guilty parties walking free.

Yes, I am saying that the majority of the electorate are idiots. How else can you explain FF being in power for most of this country's history?

Shh. The FG crowd are out in force.
They previously voted for FF, but are to embarassed to admit it.
They are all life long FG supporters these days.

Mark200 wrote: »

I'm never wrong.
Watch him drag this country down even further, and then blame whatever coalition partners he ends up with.
Then we'll end up with FF again, and you'll all complain again. Then it's back to FG and so on.

They're all self serving *****.
When they call to your door in the run up to the election, quiz them on their policies. I guarantee they will all guarantee more jobs and lower taxes.

Every time an election was near FG started digging a hole, and you know what they say about that. The Gobsh"tes are doing this again with a clear field ahead of them, Labour is just about to start their hole Gilmore has bought a new shovel, what the result of this GE is up for grabs. Maybe St Ivan might have a flutter on it.:D:D:D:D

Glad you qualified that with 'in my opinion' , as Fitzgerald was not a perfect Taoiseach and certainly was not a political animal in the same vein as CJH.

He was however a statesman who had a vision for a more progressive society and genuinely struggled against the chronic malignancy of placing party before country, endemic since the foundation of the State.

From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garret_FitzGerald

FitzGerald and his finances

In early 1999 it was revealed that some six years earlier, AIB and Ansbacher banks wrote off debts of almost IR£200,000 owed by FitzGerald following the collapse of the aircraft leasing company, Guinness Peat Aviation, in which he was a shareholder.

Chairman of AIB at the time, Peter Sutherland, was also a former director of GPA and had served as Attorney General under FitzGerald, prior to FitzGerald appointing him as Ireland's member of the European Commission.

The Moriarity Tribunal investigated this matter, and compared the treatment by AIB of FitzGerald with their treatment of Charles Haughey. They found no evidence of any wrongdoing, indeed the Tribunal heard evidence as to the considerable hardship that FitzGerald went to - to the extent of selling of his family home - to repay the debt to the best of his ability.

The Tribunal concluded in their report:

In summary it would appear that in compromising his indebtedness with the Bank, Dr. Fitzgerald disposed of his only substantial asset, namely, his family home at Palmerston Road, a property which would now be worth a considerable sum of money. As in Mr. Haughey’s case, there was a substantial discounting or forbearance shown in Dr. Fitzgerald’s case. However in contrast with Mr. Haughey’s case, Dr. Fitzgerald’s case involved the effective exhaustion of his assets in order to achieve a settlement whereas Mr. Haughey’s assets were retained virtually intact.

So, to all of 'Endas' detractors.

Take a look at the page now.
He has explained that he was indeed talking about 'previous Taoiseach. Singular.'
