Should help the insurance companies justify the raising of womens car insurance premiums as directed by the EU.

She was in my constituency and im happy to say i didnt vote for her

conorhal

She canvased my folks, their impression was more or less, "Jesus, not another thick teacher running for the Dail"

Thats the calibre of the crowd people put in power. What would u expect with a leader like Enda.

FTGFOP

Ouch. No. Just have certain expectations when the word 'crash' is used.

She drove off the edge of a set of stone steps rather than around the way she should have. Scraped up her bumper. She got away lucky but it was still a gimp move on her part.

Priceless.

Only yesterday the European court said that discount insurance for women is wrong!

Crash is a bit over-exagerated, but when was the last time you drove your car down a flight of stairs?? :pac:

biko

It's not a crash, it looks like she didn't realise there was steps instead of a ramp as she left the house.
Very embarrassing.

I wonder did she drive up the steps in the first place and was just retracing her steps. Ye know women and maps?

and thank god for that! If it had been a male driver, there would have been at least five fatalities even if there was no-one else in sight :pac:

Bank job, Italy. I did it faster though, which makes it manly.

Ah, I see, none of that is really clear in the clip. I was hoping for an entertaining type of crash....:(

The clip doesn't show her driving down stairs- just driving up to a ramp and the ramp going down. Boring clip - no destruction.

Tbh, you see much worse driving on a daily basis in Ireland

Cheeky_gal

hahahahahahah

The way all the lads are gathered round to giggle over this "incident" which appears to be a non incident and crow about insurance premiums...

Grow up like, seriously

The clip does show it. It's the first 3 seconds.

'woman scrapes bumper.'

Ooh, how hilarious.

Ah, so it does! I would have missed it if I hadn't played it first and then pulled the cursor back to the beginning....Oooo that is pretty bad. Thanks for that!

RTE editing with a hatchet again....

Dave!

Jayzus lads stop fvcking moaning will ye. It's a new TD doing something slightly embarressing, have a giggle and get over yerselves.

Still she was bright enough to put her name on her car so she could find it in the car park. That's the sort of initiative we need. Come on Ireland.

No, people driving ineptly in a car park is amusing thats all.

danniemcq

does she get a pension for stepping down like that?

Big Nasty

Definite publicity stunt!

If any man or woman did that by mistake the automatic reaction would be to jam on - unless she's really, really thick of course!;)

I've met her a few times. Does lots of community work and has loads of energy, but she actually is thick as two short planks.

She could have done with those two short planks today.

Jesus christ:o absolutely cringe making..................glad it wasn't me. First time I parked in new work car park went around 3 times in wrong direction before I got the hang of it. Thankfully no reporters were filming at the time.

Anyone that puts themselves up for politics must expect what ever flack they get, be it from the opposition, the public or media.

I thought it was rather humorous and very well timed considering yesterdays EU court judgement on the discrimination of male driver over female insurance policies.
