Well if he does he'll be the first Minister to do so in a long time. Even during the recession core social welfare rates were left untouched.

It's the one thing people governments here get backlash over. Can't be seen to hurt the poor and vulnerable.

Leo will want to leave his mark..

I see Jackie Cahill didn't get the Agriculture Spokesman job with Fianna Fail. In fact he didn't get any frontbench job at all. The poor cows will be hearing some foul language in the milking parlor this morning.

"Mr Kelly, who failed to get a seconder to enable him to stand for the party leadership, was not present and did not attend the Labour parliamentary party meeting earlier"

You are either delusional or well paid to post this stuff to keep Kelly in the forefront of social media. Clearly nobody is listening to your spin.

No way would Alan Kelly have been picked to lead the Labour Party by the members. He barely got chosen as a TD in Tipperary and if his own County have him well down on the list, the rest of the country don't rate him.

The Labour 7 6 don't rate him either and it was very poor form to be absent from the parliamentary party meeting earlier in the day - shows he has very poor judgment and not capable of acting in a mature way.

He's only 40, he needs to go away quietly and learn his craft and come back, if he wants to, with a more mature and considered outlook.

Its actually disgraceful the way he behaved yesterday.


Labour would do well to kick this spoilt brat out of the party.


They will lose their speakers rights but they will come out of it better because this fella will only do more damage to the party if his own personal ambition is not satisfied.
It is not as if he will be a TD in Tipp in the next election anyway,he only scraped in as a minister buying votes with his power and I reckon he lost Labour at least 3 seats with his antics and his stupid ego driven interviews in the last GE

It seems that we have come to the end of the road here on General Election 2016. Unless of course there is another GE before the end of year.

Thanks to everyone who made a contribution.

We have had over 11 hundred replies with almost 59 thousand views.

I would say that this has been the most active Boards.ie constituency thread in the country.

Thanks again............:)

I know you started the thread but IMHO it comes across as a little ............. ....
......... maybe ... condescending to thank people like you have just done on public forum of equal contributors.

That said it was mainly a good thread with neutrals and passionate supporters of different candidates contributing.

Will Mattie get the job of Leas-Ceann Comhairle?

The Dáil has failed to elected a Leas-Cheann Comhairle after none of the four nominees secured a majority of votes.

The nomination and election process for Leas-Cheann Comhairle started at 11am and continued for around two hours.

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport Shane Ross said he was supporting Mattie McGrath and added it was important to have an Independent in the position.

I think that it is disgraceful that the Dail don't recognise his university qualification,the fact that he is a regular mass goer, and most particularly, his dancing medals.
All crucial for the role of Leas Ceann Comhairle.

Not a chance. He would use the position for self promotion and everyone in the Dail knows it. That said I suspect Mattie himself doesn't want the job and knows he won't get it but he hadn't been in the papers for a few days so he threw in his application for this job. Plus when he doesn't get it he can moan and complain that the powers that be in Dublin didn't want an ordinary tipp man in a position of influence, its the latest snub to the people of Tipperary, no minister, no junior minister, no senator, no leas cc, etc etc etc moan moan moan. If he got the job he would actually be disappointed.

I agree Mattie is not academic and I could not see him dedicating the next few months to studying the standing orders when he could be attending.......................?

It goes to show the stupidity of Shane Ross recommending him for the position.
