It would have to be the Healeys Rae.

Their surname is Healy, the Rae part is just a nickname to differentiate them from other Healy families nearby.

You need a collective not a plural. A clatter of Healy Rae?

The were from Rae originally.

But pretty sure they've changed their name by deed poll, they appear on the ballot paper as Healy Rae, so it's now their actual name and plural is Healy Raes. It's what they refer to themselves as anyway.

Sir Osis of Liver.

A gaggle of Healy Raes.

Well, I guess just like every other TD in the Dail so...or at least they claim to.

What corruption are you implying?

The people of Kerry elected reps that woke hard for their constituents. Just as some left wing urban rep might work hard for those who make representations to them.

I always dislike the way those who campaign on urban issues or issues relevant to those in towns and cities are somehow seen as working class heroes. Tony Gregory being the most famous example.

I thought their acceptance speech was great, it sounded like they wanted to make love with every single ballot paper that voted them, think Randy Marsh, South Park, ectoplasm.

The urban left types are just as bad in my book and share a lot in common with the Healys Rae, both groups want something for nothing.

They are cute hoors through and through, and people from Kerry should be embarrassed to be represented by them.

But just for clarity, not corrupt?

Being a "cute hoor" is not exactly a crime in politics.

Here's your proof.

"Any decision that I or my brother would ever take would first of all be in the interests of the people of Co Kerry and secondly in the interest of the country," Mr Healy-Rae said.

"But whatever we’ll do we won’t make any mistake about what we do."

When asked if he and his brother would vote the same way, Mr Healy-Rae said: "We’ve pulled together this far and we managed against all the odds to get two people from the same house elected on the same day on the same ballot paper and I believe I got the highest vote in the country and I want to shove this on to the big shots in Dublin who looked down their noses at us for a long time.

"Well they got their answer too because we’ve a clear mandate to represent the people of Kerry."

Gregory was just as bad. An urban parish pump politico.

thanks for that.

Are you actually from Galway or is there another county I should insult?

Didn't vote for either of them myself but they are currently riding the wave anti-established parties even though they voted for the previous fianna fail government. you have to admit it is a pretty impressive trick.

Exactly, and nevermind those thousands of phone calls made from the dail so someone could win a reality tv show.. How anyone can defend them with a straight face I'll never understand.

Apologies to the intelligent people of Kerry, I retract my comment. But there is something truly disgusting about these gowls who keep getting voted in, Lowry and others like them. Shower of bastards the lot of them and those who vote them in.

But there is no corruption to allege.

No more than there is in a story like this...

I would say that alot more of the 30,000 people that voted for them are embarrased for you moreso than the Healy-Rae's.

There is no comparison whatsoever between Lowry and the Healy Raes. None. Are you seriously suggesting Lowrys wrongs were comparable with overusing the Dail phone?

You are just throwing out everything and anything now.

I don't like the Healy Raes, but I know intelligent people who vote for them. Because they work extremely hard to represent their constituents.

I was very careful not to allege corruption, as was the Examiner. But I will point out the...serendipity...of a political family that are famous for putting a priority on getting potholes fixed in their constituency also owning the road contractors that do a good proportion of the fixing.

Where is the line between cute hoorism and corruption? That's not for me to say.

I agree with this, by the way. I posted elsewhere saying that they fully deserve those two seats, for their work ethic, their political machine, and for having the insight to spot the opportunity of the second seat when the big political organisations didn't take advantage of it.

But they do sail a little close to the wind

Again, it's as...serendipitous as the wife of the former leader of a party getting a well paid non advertised role.

But like the Healy Raes, I have no idea that she wasn't the best fit for the job.

And the line is very clear. Corruption is defined in legislation here.

People are legally entitled to just about everything bar drugs and bombs/guns but getting access to your entitlements is another days work. If you were stuck would you approach these boys or would you approach some lefty no mark from Dublin?

Well, my own county inflicted Hirohito Haughey and that gowl Bertie Ahearn on the country for decades. So as easy as it is to mock and deride the Healy Raes and the people who voted for them, I'd feel a bit of hypocritical doing so. :rolleyes:

When you see the calibre of the politicians we elect, its difficult not to agree with the German professor who said that as a country we are not capable of governing ourselves.

My parents told me that Charlie Haughey was one of the best & most progressive Ministers for Social Welfare we ever had. And that is high praise from them, as they couldn't stand the man or FF. He brought in the free travel pass and a lot of other reforms that made a big difference in the lives of elderly pensioners. As he was in a constituency with a lot of older voters, he had no trouble topping the poll on merit, not chicanery. But once he got higher up the FF food chain and got a taste of real power as Taoiseach, it corrupted him completely.
