Shane Ross to North Korea

Could not believe my ears when I heard this . Definitely think he should go.
What chance he will get arrested and sentenced to a lifetime of forced Labour?
As anti rural and anti farmer a TD as ever graced Leinster house.

North Korea or north Wicklow, tough choice.

Ah great news.This could be the start of a special relationship with North Korea. We need new trading partners in agriculture for a hard brexit.

I think you're forgetting the entire Green party that spent some 3 years in power in the noughties.

Hard to beat Mary coughlan as ag minister sacrificing the Irish beet industry either.

He thinks legislation that prevents anything that can do more the 40k being allowed travel more than 25k from home might sort things out over there

Grueller

I'll start a whip around to pay for the plane ticket if you like?

The Dublin county chairman is meeting him this week on that...and he's a constituent of his

That Halligan is another eejit. Would love if they ended up in a labour camp.

There was a piece on Joe Duffy yesterday about it, it was some craic. Someone might put up a link to the podcast, it’s worth listening to.

I think North Korea have enough problems to deal with right now and Minister Ross could just push them over the edge.

You can just see them having to redesign ICBMs to travel at 39kph:pac:

North Koreans looking for more money to drive missile launchers .... he's absolutely not getting involved.

What would they make of the Healy rays in north Korea.

enricoh

Halligan would make kim jong un look sane.
Maybe thats the reasoning behind the trip, kim jong makes friends with a western nutter, says they're not all bad and decides against using the nuclear bomb! Genius!

The whole thing is a joke. For a while I thought the article was written by Waterford whisperers. That halligan is a total clown and the people who voted for him in Waterford even agree with that. I'll gladly donate 50 for a one way ticket for the lot of them

Allegedly she was an expert at Cursing.
If anyone of you in another county would like to adopt her, some of us in Donegal will "try" and manage without her.

We have the Healy Reas so our quota of lunatic fringe politicians is probably well filled at this stage.

But thanks for the offer:pac:

cute geoge

I love the way everyone castigates the healy reas .Last week after the storm they came up with brilliant idea to cut all trees along roads and along power lines ,simple idea but does anyone even want to hear anything they say!!!
I can say the healy reas were far better in the long run to have nothing to do with the present government and their independent supporters!!!

I’ll throw in e100 but I want a receipt

I see Halligan cost us €7,500 for a question that anyone with a brain would never ask. €7500 for a stoopid question, well done lad.

You normally just look up on Facebook after the interview or actually before the interview now.
I'd say he has an ould Nokia phone still.

Hopefully the lot of them end up hanging in a public square in Pyongyang

Perhaps The Donald could drop a hot one on Pyongyang around the same time as they visit .....

My OH qualified as a primary school teacher at 20. Went to an interview and parish priest said she was to young.

She didn’t listen to me but she need never have worked a day in her life if she had followed them on that one.

Heard a story from a Garda in Co.Leitrim about a sex pest who was tormenting a business woman in the town.
She finally told him she was going to the Gardai about him and he would be ruined in the locality.
He begged her not to report him, and bought her a new car to put an end to the matter.

Gardai heard about him anyway and had a chat with her.

Are you going to make a complaint? they asked her.

I'm not, she says. I can well deal with his sort. I'm married 20 years and in all the times my husband felt my ar5e, I never had a new car!
