Personally think she did good work in that area. Recent events have not been so good.

Bit of comic relief and eye candy who is actually effective . If people MUST vote FG she's better than most.

LuasSimon

Called Leo Varadker autistic ....not very nice to be passing comments like that when many family’s have an autistic kid and have a tough time .
I certainly wouldn’t be voting for her after that

She seems like a bit of a troll herself.
Throwing a hissy fit because she didn't get All ireland tickets.
Parking on the footpath 'cos everyone does that'.
Calling her party leader autistic, then denying it until the journalist produced the tape.
Classy.
She probably should stop impersonating a lying weasel if she doesn't want to attract fire.

We really need someone of this calibre in the Dail alright.

She used it as an example of something that politicians should never say. I think she is right.

No she didn't. She used it as an example of a word you say in a figurative sense, like 'special.' Then panicked and said actually she never says it.

Are you for real ??

So, her racism is acceptable to you. My god.

Cushie Butterfield

If she lies about remarks she makes, what else has she or will she lie about?
She can't be trusted & should not be in a position of power, or indeed any position that requires the slightest bit of integrity.

Words are not racist without intent.

A hard worker???


Aaaaaah Here Senator you aren't 75 and you didn't leave school when you were 11 to become a seamstress or a farm labourer!

She has never been elected just appointed by Enda Kenny to the Senate.

I think everyone would agree, bar racists, that the N word should never be used with or without intent.

You'd have to ask her in what context she likes to use the word.

Yes, the Senate - I consider that a position that requires integrity.

It would be great if the taxpayer could settle my phone bill also. Mulherin & Noone are entitled chancers, hiding out in the senate with fellow ne'er do wells.

Its use in popular music is by black artists. I have never heard a white or asian artrist use the N word.

Parking her van on the footpath really annoyed me as it is around the corner from the Irish Wheelchair association and the Central Remedial Clinic who will often have their service users going past on the way to Supervalu Killester and would need to use that footpath.

Lost five votes in our house hold over that alone.

Ok. Essentially you're saying because one is pro choice you get a pass on being an idiot, insulting people with differing conditions, being racist, wasting tax payers money on 82,000 colour leaflets you don't use. Having a sense of entitlement to All Ireland tickets etc for free. Among other idiotic behaviour.

You're thought process is astounding. People being pro choice or pro life is fairly well down the list of people's priorities, post referendum. They want competent politicians, a decent health service, to be able to purchase a house etc.

Hi Catherine.

On boards trying to resurrect your political career? Let's blame a group who we perceive to be unpopular..pro lifers! Excellent. You probably thought of blaming the Jews also.

Did she explain this to Enda before or after he appointed her to the Senate

marieholmfan

From the Irish Independent link:

Ms Noone said she "did not seek this to be in the papers" - despite contacting this newspaper directly to express her annoyance at the GAA.


Ms Noone has previously raised eyebrows among colleagues after describing the "persistent use of chimes" by ice cream vans as "aggressive".

Enda has a bit of history in the use of the N word himself.

She denied that she used the term autistic in a negative way. She only admitted that she did when the reported pointed out that he had recorded her. The autistic community in Ireland are very hurt and angry.

He sure does but in context to describe an African politician. But in that case He said he was just repeating a joke told him by someone else.

Mary O'Rourke used it in the way that a retired bricklayer might use it to compliment you on a days hard work. Same phrase. She should have known better but like Catherine Noone there was no malice in it.

She's a scumbag and if she was in SF she'd be plastered all over the front of the indo.

She may enjoy a drink from time to time but plastered is a strong word!

How many times can Catherine Noone put her foot in it and show her total ignorance before the people are allowed to say that she’s not fit for office? Are you seriously suggesting that people living with autism and their families need to just suck it up??

Autism is not a disease!
Everyone is on the spectrum that's why it's called a spectrum!
