    I looked at the clip and indeed was only a handful present at the time. I take it everyone else was debating the bill from their dail offices

    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.

    I interviewed the guy & found him entirely without ego. I think you're wilfully promoting stereotypes in this thread.

    He and Wallace are complete donkeys, in fairness. Are Wallace and Daly still getting it on?

    But then when its time to work you need to have a bit of cop on. Dress smart, tidy and confident. Grow up a bit and take off the pennies clothing and have a bit of dignity.
    These people are running the country, not the local youth club.

    What's in your world, Binmen in Armarni suits ?

    Armani rip-offs should be fairly cheap, so sounds good.

    Well it is Christmas and we should all look out for the lonely.

    What is it?
    Are you lonely and trolling gives you a sense of worth in your quiet and pathetic world.
    At least you get a reaction on the internet unlike real life. We understand that.
    Never mind people will be here for you. To help. Bless.

    I was a presenter on a radio programme and he was running a campaign back in the 90s.

    So, why are you promoting stereotypes of cannabis users and politicians and people who live in South Roscommon & Leitrim?

    I think people are getting a little hung up on the way people dress tbh. Yes those politicans Ahern Cowen et all wore suits but does that mean everyone who wears a suit are corrupt. Tony Gregory and Des O'Malley wore suits and people see them as honest politicans. Should we say everyone who wears loud pink shirts are tax evading dodgers now. Those Ming have to wear a suit I do not say so but should he dress in a neat attire yes.

    In relation to what he did in the Dail it was a cheap trick to try and get publicity for himself.

    At last the penny has dropped, that was the idea, to highlight the disgusting water supply in Roscommon. The whole country knows about the problem now.
    Isn't that what your TD is supposed to do get publicity for their peoples problems, and show the rest of the country the incompetence of their local authority. Fair play to you Ming, if we had more TD's like him to highlight corruption we would not be in the mess we are now in.

    Jaysus, you seem to "know" so much about Ming I would have thought you would have seen the strongly worded letter he received.
    Akin to something the TV licencing division would send you.
    I heard the next one he receives will be in all capitals........... then if he persists, the next one will be bolded.

    Tells a lot when Sean Barrett seemed more concerned about a minister having to look at a glass of dirty water, rather than the mere mortals who have to drink the stuff.

    So he got a written warning?

    Good enough for him...there are basic standards of behaviour to be observed and that should apply to the Dail as much as anywhere.

    Barrett is so far removed from reality it is beyond a joke at this stage.

    The whole pissy water business was nothing more than a publicity stunt to get himself some attention.

    he's a disgrace to Irish politics.
