    Based on those who made the most noise on his behalf, it would appear to be the shinners.

    Interesting & worthwhile debating issues,raised by Kevin Sharkey,a gent with,argueably far more intimate knowledge of abuse & torture right here in Ireland,than the Hawala's ever experienced on their Egyptian holiday ?

    This might result in a right old ding-dong,if Sharkey gets a nomination and the current incumbent decides to run again ???

    I've heard Sharkey interviewed of late, he appears to have zero knowledge of what the role of the president entails.

    The sister's are still suing the state, Yea the same state that bent over backwards to get him out.

    All because the state has doubts about their arranged marriages and won't let their "husband's"
    In quick enough.


    They really are a lovely family...never happy

    Are the "husbands" Muslim Brotherhood as well? Last thing we need are more Islamic fascists getting free passes into the country.

    Don't think so. All I know is that he was born in Dublin, is an Irish citizen and he definitely has an Irish passport. He was issued a new one just before he was released last year.

    Do you believe that the sisters fell in love at first sight, or were they arranged marriages?


    Tell me how many Irish sue the state over there husbands not being allowed in the state quick enough, never happy is right with this family.

    Yes but I have asked and can be corrected. But did they not arrive after citizenship was changed. And got Irish passports from asylum ?

    He was born after they arrived over here. I'm not sure,But didn't familys get citizenship if a baby was born over here. But that law was changed.

    I'm sure someone will come along and point out I'm wrong.

    The law was changed to none Irish parents not getting citizenship from having a baby after coming over on a plane.

    im sure most of the population wouldnt be au fait with all the presidency entails. but anyone who got elected would have state appointed advisors. he'll be grand. if people start putting the boot into him at this early stage, it would make me sceptical of their (boot kicking) motives.

    Yes, that was I was alluding to. The law was changed because of the amount of pregnant women flying in to get citizenship.


    But I'm not sure if they got here before the law changed, I think they did. Open to correction

    Tubbs was very easy on him, as he tends to be. Halawa did himself no favours with that nonsense story about his hand.

    Oddly enough,that might not be an altogether bad thing.

    I would suggest,that most Irish Adults,would have a degree of difficulty reciting the Role of an tUachtarain in modern Ireland.

    It actually IS a serious role Constitutionally,but the sitting tenants in Dail Eireann have,over the decades,made sure the corset strings are pulled nicely taut,making a break for the hills a very difficult thing altogether.

    Yep,the more I think about it,the better an attribute that "Zero-Knowledge" might just be....definitely a maybe from me,in an early Opinion Poll :D

    The media created the ****storm well before he was released from prison. If they had have just reported the story in a balanced manner and pulled the sisters up on their BS early on, he wouldn't have had the massive fall from grace.

    My memory of the reaction from the late late show was that people who were not following the story as closely as others over the years were just dumbfounded by the stupidity of the story they created. When that happened and the likes of the Journal realised they pinned all their hopes on another fraudulent poster boy, they just abandoned him.

    Now the Halawa Boy is seen as a joke figure. The chap will struggle to get a regular career job because of the Bull**** created by his sister's and the media (Especially the Journal). I still get the lolz about that Paper Mache, Tricolour that they claimed he made in Prison and smuggled out. They thought the Irish people were stupid because the remedial "journalists" were lapping it up.

    Unfortunately for the Halawa clan Irish people can see through a load of of bollix when it's presented to them.

    Naw, I think the best B.S. fail was the series of smuggled out letters. Especially the one that was dated the same date as it appeared in the media and there wasn't the slightest crease on the page.

    You have in the guff at the bottom of every post, a thing about cats and toast.

    Not derailing.. Just something that happened in the last hour with buttered toast and a cat

    I doubt Miriam would be any better, but yet her name keeps coming up as a serious candidate as well... and yet people scoff at the Americans for electing a wealthy TV personality!

    I don't know that much about him in truth, but Sharkey at least seems to be trying to start a discussion on the whole immigration issue, which is probably why he'll be shut down early.. The narrative that immigration is only a positive thing for Ireland MUST be maintained! :rolleyes:

    Looking at the letter, I'm getting a greater understanding on why he wants to go back to his Egyptian jail.

    With access to both blue and red pens, the place is probably a good place to start writing his book ....... which actually might do well in the fiction section of the bookshop.
