    Being the only politician who can answer a simple question directly and honestly.

    He might be a Minister for the Diaspora, but he's still a TD for Kerry North(-West Limerick)


    EDIT: seems i missed whatever show he was on tonight, but to bring the thread in a totally different direction, I'd be in favour of TD's for the diaspora, and giving Irish abroad voting rights (say for five years after they left the state)

    Apart from his honest answer last night, he came across as a bit useless tbh, slow to answer questions and looked out of place.

    I think Pat Rabitte was the only conherent speaker on that show, and he told it like it is.
