    How can we expect anyone to have respect for politicians or politics when we listen to the juvenile behaviour during the budget speech today. The disgraceful behaviour would not be tolerated at any properly chaired meeting or indeed at a class of infant children.:mad::o:(

    1. A lot of people didn't

    2. A lot of those who did are simply picking the least worst candidate available rather than not voting.

    Cheap point scoring is all they know. All blab and no substance. By staying quiet we get the system we deserve.

    The way the Dail is run causes the juvenile behaviour!

    It's them v us
    Those with power and those with none
    No proper reprimand for silly remarks

    I have no recollection of voting for Mick 'Scarecrow' Wallace, he's not even from my constituency.

    What's more scary, is the fact that FF and FG are planning to join forces to keep the independents and SF out.

    God help us all.....

    At least Mick Wallace once ran a business and employed people . Yes it went belly up and yes he failed to pay his due taxes and PRSI but unlike most of the broken down teachers and retired GAA players that run our country at least he has some experience of running a business

    Yeah, we need people capable of running a business into the ground, committing tax fraud and cheating his workers of their pension entitlements and making questionable asset transfers to his family in the dail.

    I must read my previous mail but I don't recall saying that we need him . My point being that we need people who have some experience of running a business
