He has got a pint?

Independent TD Danny Healy-Rae has claimed that eating a big meal and falling asleep at the wheel is one of the overriding causes of road accidents

Guess that means we should legislate on portion sizes. Win/Win on the obesity epidemic too.

True, but fortunately pretty much everyone outside of the actual constituency he represents recognises him for the fool that he is. As long as we don't ever get to a time where some government needs his vote to prop them up he can be safely ignored​.

Much savage. Many idiot.

Not_A_Racist

Danny Healy Rae is mocking Dubliners by saying his nonsense. He doesn't believe it, nor do his constituents in Kerry.


Kerrymen say to themselves
'See what Danny says. Them dubs are so stupid to believe that Danny actually thinks that. Danny is just trolling them jacks.'


Dubliners and non-Kerrymen say
'See that dope Danny. He's a redneck caveman. What a fool'.


But Danny gets elected. Danny doesn't care as long as he's getting paid and he has a seat for life. Lots of other businesses too.

There is no fools in Kerry the would buy and sell most of Ireland. A lot Property in Dublin is owned by Kerry Farmers thanks to the European union grants for farmers the bought most of Dublin. with that money in the 1970s I know one farmer in Kerry who owns unreal amount of property in Dublin .

Just say you eat a mammoth meal. You've earned far too much, you have meat sweats and you are very sluggish.

Are you more alert after that or after 2-3 pints?

I'd go for the latter.

The people in his constituency who voted for him.

He has as much right as any duly elected TD to voice the opinion of the people who voted for him.

We may or may not agree, but he's entitled to act to represent the people who elected him, who presumably agree with him.

That's how our democracy works. If you start trying to shut duly elected people down just because you find their utterings disagreeable, well then that's quite a slippery slope.

Healy Rae's are elected because 'dey stick it to dem above in Dublin' and 'dey fix de reoads'

It isn't anything that marvellous.

The majority of his constituents don't subscribe to this particular sh!t for one second. It's fairly obvious what motivates the Healy Raes where drink driving is concerned. And it isn't the welfare of a few lads who still drive to the pub.

I'd disagree slightly here, I'd argue that he might have quite a bit of support outside urban areas all over the country. I'm not a constituent by the way. True, he comes across as a fool and a gob****e but I'd imagine he plays that up quite a bit. Rural Ireland is slowly but surely being killed off by our governments. Villages, as a centre of rural communities, are dying off completely. Have drink-driving laws got something to do with this? Yes, absolutely. I'm not arguing for allowing people to drive around country roads drunk but I will argue that it's not the old man who has two pints on a Sunday evening and drives home a mile away on a back road who is the problem.

Not a fan of him or his politics but anyone taking him for a fool is very much mistaken and falling into the very trap that he and his family have set.

And if they didn't stick it to Dublin or get the roads fixed, then they would be Donegal, screwed.

I'm sorry but the idea that everyone is entitled to voice their opinion is nonsense.

Everyone has the right to voice their educated and researched opinion by all means.

To say that someone has the right to spout any old garbage they like and expect me to listen to it is another matter entirely.

riemann

I know a few people from Kerry who are professionals, solicitors etc.. They have no problem with this guy or his brother, or how he represents Kerry.

I swear it's all like a big joke down there, they elect the biggest clown imaginable to show their contempt for politics. Then said clown and big fam proceed to clean out the till. If the people of Kerry back out of this little game and don't keep electing him they will have to admit their foolishness so I expect this little game of chicken to run and run.


But in all seriousness this man is an idiot. I know it is said he knows what he is doing and just playing to the choir etc... but there is a way of doing that without coming across like you just rolled out from the 1600's.

That's 2 pints followed by a curry. The gob****e will be well able for another 4 or 5 before he needs to consider not driving home from the pub.

Biscuitus

A man found driving over the food limit was banned from driving today by McDonalds District Court. When asked by the judge if he had any last words with great remorse he weeped "The sea bass wasn't enough. I couldn't resist the cheesecake dessert and expresso". Another monster off our roads thankfully.

Haven't the RSA actively been doing campaigns around tiredness for years now?

Do we really need some publican in the dail equivocating tiredness with consuming alcohol?

Not really self made. When the parents split up, Danny stuck with the Dad and got the bar and plant hire business. Mike stuck with his Mam.

If you think he's stupid, check who the top 20 suppliers to Kerry County Council are. Then see how many of those businesses are run or owned by the Healy Rae dynasty.
