    Possibly it was the saving of him. I could not imagine reading Behan without the infkuence if drink.

    As he said himself - a drinker with a writing problem.

    But eh! What the...down with canary yellow shirts, drumcondra pubs, purple noses, shyster smiles, purple noses and drumcondra pubs named after villains in Dickensian dramas....oh the humanity, the Fagan of modern times...oh the humanity..

    If you're going to represent the country at least make some effort with your appearance and demeanour...dressing like a homeless hippy does not do anything for your credibility and behaving as he did he's only going to be quickly dismissed as a crank.

    I am sorry, but you are a vacuous fool if you are more concerned with their attire than their ability to speak publicly. It's a parliament, not a cat walk.

    Ming represents more ordinary Irish people and is more reflective of them than 90% of the other polished turds in there.

    P. Flynn you try running three houses comes to mind

    Caught the piss gate scandal on youtube,
    Brilliant, utterly brilliant.
    I'd say your re election is a formality.


    Well in our household, my vote, the wife and 2 lads.

    All the whingers on this thread who have castigated Ming over his protest, will have to swallow their words, Firstly in the council elections, then in the general election. IMO there is going to many more like him going to be elected, the safe little nest that the people pay for called the Dail is after been exposed as what it is. Roll on the elections.

    I honestly didn't think you would be so shallow when it comes to appearance. It's clear that Flannagan and Wallace wash themselves, they just don't seem to spend a fortune of haircuts and hair styling.
    It's hardly "shallow" to think a public representative shouldn't look scruffy. It would be shallow of me to think they should wear the most expensive of suits and shirts, and I don't think that.

    What the hell is peoples issues with his dress sense? In 20 years time I'm sure I will remember Ming more than most of the faceless suited drones in there for all the right reasons. Anyway OP, with a bit of luck we can see these Pillars of Society in during the next election

    Long hair or a beard on a man is not scruffy though

    His "ability to speak publicly" is as questionable as his attire.

    Personally i think the man suffers from some sort of personality disorder.

    Disorder being, he has a personality, unlike the grey suited androids that usually shuffle through the Dail corridors.

    I don't think he is a good public speaker. I just don't understand why it escapes you that long haired jumper-wearers voted him in there, why *would* he cut his hair and throw on an expensive, bad suit?

    Or what could possibly have happened to you that you think people who don't dress the way you like must have personality disorders? You think your clothes are the seat of personality...?

    It's not just his apalling dress sense i have issue with...he's prone to hysterical outbursts in the dail..behaving in bizaare and most unprofessional manner.

    I dont recall saying that everybody who dresses like a dungheap has a personality disorder,i just happen to think that HE has one.

    No need,thanks i understood him.

    What is at issue is why he went about it in the manner he did...surely there are channels for adressing problems such as he was describing?

    Putting a jar of "piss" on a fellow deputy's desk and ranting in his screechy voice seems to me to be the antics of a disturbed attention seeker.

    Well then, only his clothes differentiate him from the rest of the Dail so.


    I am sure his constituents would be very comforted by a new suit on him while they still can't drink the water.

    It's his particular image...that of a layabout and crusty that i dont consider as suitable attire for a politician.

    Makes you uncomfortable to think that crusty layabouts are voting citizens, does it?

    He was voted in the same was as rage against the machine got an xmas No 1 a while back.

    The same way as people put Jedi on the census form under religeon.


    Apart from a handfull of commited dope fiends and locals in his area he was voted for as a joke candidate.

    Will the quality of his constituents' water be improved if he doesn't wear a suit?

    Because if not, him opting not to wear a suit, won't comfort his constituents either.
