Smiley Burnett

She is on again tomorrow, even though the dail is in session. :rolleyes:Good to see that the tax payers of waterford are getting value for money and the important issues of the day are being addressed!!!!! :mad:

I'm not watching atm, but that has to be a different Ciara Conway somehow.

Why, in the name of Cthulu, would a TD be the one to talk to about a celeb's love life?

No job announcements/losses she can stand in the background smiling at right now and she doesnt do much else

I may have lost respect for the people of dungarvan.

Please tell me you're joking! If true, I will honestly have lost all respect for her. Jesus Christ, all the problems Waterford has at the moment, and what has she done since she came into office?
1) Stand outside TalkTalk where a massive blow was dealt to employment in the South East and over 500 people lost their jobs, with a huge beaming smile on her face
2) Said she opposed the decision to put the merged VEC between Waterford and Wexford in Wexford town, said she would be writing to Ruairi Quinn about it, and as far as I remember that was the last we heard from her.
3) Now this, going on telly like a stupid bint gossiping about celebrities over a cup of tea like an old biddy.

witless1

She has this up on her Twitter:
http://twitter.com/#!/ciaramconway

Will be joining the Panel on the Midday Show Today and Tomorrow on TV3 so do Tune in ! I hear #vinb Studio is next door eeeek

And that's why we should have voted more independents in.

Odats

And she was on Matt Cooper last week talking about legalising abortion. Surely there is more pressing issues than a referendum on abortion at the moment.

She needs to cop on. She won't get in a second time in Waterford. Useless is not the word. On chat shows when the Dail is in session.

Tawdy Morrissey would represent Waterford better than her.

BTW I don't think abortion is not a serious topic but there are more serious issues facing Ireland and the people of Waterford at the moment. Jobs in particular.

calvin_zola

What's the craic with her anyway? All I seem to know of her since she was elected is that she looked overjoyed outside Talk Talk back in Autumn, haven't heard much of her since?

Has she been working on any projects? making noises etc?

I think she is useless but i commend her on raising this issue as every other politician runs away from it as there is no votes in it. I think the situation where hundereds of Irish women travel to England for it is pathetic. Other public reps have effectively stuck their head in the sand on the issue. Yes, I would prefer to see her doing more on jobs and not smiling at job losses in her constituency but life is going on and to many people, they see the lack of abortion options in Ireland as truly ridiculous.

can anyone confirm what was she talking about on TV3, if she was on to talk about the abortion issue, then fair enough, but if she was on only talking about what they usually talk about on that program (celebs, dieting, how all men are useless, giving out) then I wouldnt be surprised if this makes national news.

Max I agree 100% on the issue. If she was spending the same time on her constituency as she is in putting time into this issue which is important in it's own right then we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Stay off the chat shows and deliver to your constituents.

Odats

Midday: Demi Moore, hidden sugar and the Austrian town with a rude name, that's all on Midday today.

That's what she was on the show fcuking talking about. FFS. It is on 3 player.

Cabaal

Can watch Midday on TV3 Player
http://www.tv3.ie/3player/show/52/0/0/Midday

daddydick

I just went to TV3 player to see what the fuss is about, didnt believe that this was possible.

But it is!!!

This is an absolute disgrace!! She is sitting there having a laugh with 4 women discussing such topics as strange place names and Demi Moore's love life - all while the Dail is sitting!!!!!!

This is an absolute shambles. I wonder how much expenses she has claimed to get from Dungarvan to Ballymount??

The county is in a shocking state and here is one of our few elected representatives sitting in a TV studio having a girly chat and giggle.

What an absolute embarrassment, a shambles and a huge slap in the face for anyone who voted this person into National Parliment.

Outraged.

Well if their representative is anything to go by they certainly won't as apparently she was elected and paid 90 grand a year to give her opinions on celebs love life's and smile at other peoples misfortunes.

Trotter

Every day I'm surprised by how politicians find more ways to rub my nose in it. I should know better than to be surprised. God we all had such hope before the last election in Waterford. New faces etc.

decies

No matter what your political opinion is , this looks like a poor decision, waterford city and county is on its knees, think we deserve better than this, especially since the TD,s are supposed to be back to work!!!!! Must do better Ciara!!

I agree with what you are saying but not everyone in Dungarvan voted for her. It is childish to tar everyone with the same brush.

ziedth

You have to ask yourself (and i'm not a SF supporter by any stretch) but would David Cullinane have been getting his photo taken outside Talk Talk or going on an afternoon chat show? Not a hope! There's really no word for it but this is a disgrace IMHO.

Professey Chin

Dammit why is the scumbag generator not working properly
If anyone deserves a scumbag hat meme she does atm

Darkest Horse

As laudable as this thread is, here is the real place to make your feelings known: ciara.conway@oir.ie

As yet, the conversation has been reserved and intelligent and it needs to stay that way to prevent her retaining any moral high ground on this issue.

gscully

I just got a tweet to say she called for a legislation and then voted against it...???

Is that true? Sorry, I have no other info.

If you feel that strongly about it, hit her via Twitter instead. She can ignore an email, but she can't ignore the public criticism on Twitter.

My understanding of it is that the Labour Party conference voted to support the bill but the parliamentary party opted to vote against it and placed the whip on TD's so that they couldn't make up their own minds. Looks bad for Ciara that she was publicly in favour and then voted against to toe the party line. Between this and the TV3 debacle a day to forget for her all round.

In fairness lads she is a fkn joke of a politician

EoghanConway

It's rare that I say something is outrageous and actually mean it.

Wonder if she'll try and claim expenses.

Honestly, who isnt a joke of a politician in this country? I dont think anybody is getting my vote next time. Why even bother.

Odats

Just sent her an aul tweet.

@ciaramconway fitter of you be in the Dáil than talking about Demi Moore coming out rehab. #jokeofaTD #laughingatthepeopleofWaterford

Have to agree and sad to feel like this when we all need to do our patriotic duty.....but no one is leading from the top, least of all our leader.

I've never seen that man look sooo happy since he got elected you would think he had won the lotto.....maybe he has.

Been through 2 recessions and seen it all before....promises promises... in the national interest and for the next generation....yeah right.....

A curse on all their houses!

Can you set Twitter up so that you can see the tweets people get from others? I'm sure I used to be able to see that but can't now. Any ideas?

Yes, if the account is public.

So, for example, Ciara Conway's account must not be public as I can't see Odats' tweet?

Odats

Yeah cannot see it. Not the best on the aul twitter first post in two years on it.

Yeah I know the feeling. Only sign in on the very odd occasion to follow something as it's breaking. Made a special dispensation for Ms. Conway though.

I'm not that into twitter but I can see other peoples tweets on her page?

Really? I can only see tweets from her or ones that she's retweeted. On this page.

Seriously,
The next local elections we should enter Tawdy, I betcha he would get a lot of votes.
We could use it as a protest vote against ALL politicians.

What exactly have our local TS's done since they were elected, except toe the party line and stay quiet, apologies, except to discuss Demi Moores problems on TV3

Professey Chin

Tbh the kinda politicians needed are very difficult things to get since the lifestyle being a TD brings with it is corrupting in itself with very few of them ever wanting to risk losing it.
You need someone whos willing to constantly give a big fcuk you to the current status quo (and i mean constantly, not just the odd little outburst in the dail). Just constant pressure on what theyre there for with any PR taking a second place.
Of course thats whats needed but these are the people who dont become career politicians

To be fair, the only reason Cullinane is in the Seanad right now is to raise his profile and get him elected next time. All of a sudden he's standing behind Adams and Mary-lou at every bloody news interview :rolleyes:

I know they like to claim otherwise, but SF play this game as well as anyone else. Not that I approve of Conway either though...

It's an awful shame that people have no understanding of the good Ciara Conway has done. That photo outside TalkTalk where she was smiling meant nothing! I'm not going to get into detail here but I will say that at that time she was doing more than most other politicians to help workers and is still continuing to do so to this very day where as others who were full of promises never delivered and were never heard from as soon as their photo's were taken. I have no links with Ciara or Labour or for that matter any other politician but I do know for a fact (something lacking in others posts) that she has been a huge support to the former TalkTalk workers. I had to say something in her defence as some of the posts in this thread are bordering on ridiculous.

No links at all? Just happen to be someone from Dungarvan who comes into a thread trying to defend a politician who managed to get elected somehow even though she had basically no experience and has been worse than ineffective since her election.

Fair enough if that's all true but I think you'll find you're in the significant minority here if you rate her.

And I'm glad you think she's been a great support for the former Talk Talk employees I've heard nothing from her on the matter except to see her big smiley head on the day Gilmore was down.

Please do go into detail !
Granted smiling like a gormless idiot in the talk talk picture was very very unfortunate, and was more than likely down to inexperience
( lack of time to Practice sad face),
What good has she done ?

duinegorm

I don't know her personally, I'm making any comment on her appearing on TV3, I have no idea what else she has done for Waterford or the country as a whole, I don't even have a great understanding of politics anyway so can't make much comment about her at all and I'm not defending everything and anything about her. The only point I made was that some people are slating her for a smile in a photo outside TalkTalk and giving the impression that she just used it for a photo opportunity. This wasn't the case then and even now it still isn't the case. It's a pity but I'm not going to be able to go into any further detail about it here.

Why state in one post that people have no idea of the good she done and in your next reply state that you have no idea of the good she had done ?!
Sounds like a politicians answer to me

Read my last post again, that's not what I said at all, I'm trying to get across that I am only speaking about this whole smiling in a photo outside TalkTalk issue, not anything else as I have no idea about anything else she has/hasn't done. I'm far from a bloody politician ffs.
