    .. And the good things that they have done

    Kudos to Michael Martin. In March 2004 when Ireland became the first country in the world to introduce comprehensive legislation banning smoking in workplaces. That's an immense policy legislation legacy to have

    If these two can say something nice about each other

    Politicians who I despise I despise for a reason and I can't come up with any redeeming quality.


    There is one exception. Ian Paisley, a loathsome bigot and long may he rot but when questioned about Bernadette McAliskey getting pregnant out of wedlock he could have slammed her with shame and hate but instead simply said "Let those without sin on our souls cast the first stone."


    So, the blustering bollocks didn't make his political gripe for a filthy taig a personal cheap shot attack.


    Didn't make me like him. Just that he was actually a human being...albeit it a hateful one.

    They do alright.
    All the electorate are looking for stuff for free and want to pay for nothing.

    Gerry Adams is very polite and down to earth in person, so is Joan Burton, and even though I loathe their politics, the Healy-Raes are proper gentlemen on the phone and in person. I used to work in the area of politics.

    Erm , Enda Kenny , I met him at work event years ago.

    He was good humoured and down to earth.

    Give it a fxxking rest, nobody wants to pay twice or over the odds, very few looking for something for nothing . Old paranoid notions dreamed up by jealous nobodies in the back rooms of dingy political offices, Be grateful for what you have and never mind whart anyone has or hasn't , you'll have a much happier existence without carrying that utter garbage around with you.

    Enda Kenny gifted minority status to restless natives, now a Mad Max sequel is in the works. Bless his teleprompter.

    I don't think she or Stalin have killed anyone personally unlike a certain member of a right wing party

    I think the thread is about saying something nice about politicians.

    She’d make a great old bowl of coddle.

    Paschal is infuriatingly unflappable.

    It's won't say anything nice about a politician I dont like, I kind off find that hypocritical. After all there is a reason you don't like them in the first place.

    Eamonn Ryan is a class act, hilarious, and is very likeable.

    There are no flies on Violet-Anne Wynne, and if there was, they would be paying rent (unlike her with her 4 years of rent arrears).
