So Michael D IS running again!

realdanbreen

So when Michael D was campaigning for president and said it would be a one off term he was lying?
Many voted for him because he was only going for one term and wasn't trying to hog the job for 14 years.

Bit late to the party here tonight (watching on +1 here)

+1 buddy!

but the nonsense virtue-signalling on the Traveller Controversy (by Michael D in particular) is just painful and obvious. Agree with him or not, fair play to Casey standing by his statement/conviction.

... ex-buddy. Would you people ever give over with yer relentless reactionary blather? Virtue-signalling PC SJW OMG.

Casey's "conviction", indeed. His poorly thought-out rabble-rousing. With not a thought about ho to follow through on anything he's saying.

Vice-signalling, one might call it.

How many times has SG said "Youth affairs and community development"

For Forks Sake

Freeman gets her Pieta mention in, Gallagher gets his youth work mention, this is predictable as clockwork.

Michael D. is going to walk this Presidential election.

The visible joint is the ankle. Most bird's knees are hidden higher up.

I'll give him a pass on the anatomy faux pas. But the initial decision is an utter tactical disaster. Judoka he might be, Putin he's not!

Gallagher is too wooden, it's obvious when he's reciting prerehearsed answers he has.

I don't understand why he even got as far as he did last time, never mind lurching on to this contest.

So Gavin Duffy is a media trainer? And this is the best he can do in a debate

pixelburp

One things for sure, when the role contains no legislative powers worth speaking of, this whole debate becomes a vapid parade of posturing and rhetoric. Mixed with the obvious ignorance over what the actual role entails. The Carey traveller waffling shows this, alongside the pointless questions over Irish Water and the ilk. With no ability to fashion real change, you're left with empty populist nonsense that goes nowhere.

Well those who can do, those who can’t teach.

Never voted Sinn Féin in my life. Never will. Can’t forget the “baggage”.
However, I thought Liadh Ní Riada was the clear winner of the debate tonight. I thought the other 5 were varying degrees of poor.

of course he is, yet the scumbag still is putting up needless election posters, most of which are against county council safety rules in my district. They have the pick of locations, none of the usual fighting over spots, yet the scumbag still cannot even stick to the rules in place for over 10 years.

Vile piece of work resorting to that.

she is even worse, absolutely no respect for public safety.Storms about and this reckless moron thinks it is OK to posters with 2 miserable cable ties.

FrancieBrady

Casey =3 didn't elaborate or offer any solutions, just restated his hate speech.
Duffy = 3 innocuous but kinda nice again
Freeman = 2 Wish I could give her more but she has little to offer
Ni Riada = 6 handled herself well again, unphased by the stock 'war' questions and made Kenny look silly. Will play well with those sick and tired of the stock questions.
Gallagher = 4 Stuck to script but had gloves laid on him by among other Ni Riada.
Higgins = 7 Simply the best in the field. Didn't have any of the characteristics he is respected for and indeed, loved for undermined by any of them.

I don't want to question the fellah's work ethic, but I'm going to have to slightly question that he personally decided the location of some poster that's disproportionately annoyed you beyond sense, reason, or indeed basic civility.

He puts these posters up himself, does he? :rolleyes: "Scumbag", how juvenile.

As multitalented as he is, I don't think he put them up himself.

Just in from the pub, perhaps? Or worse yet, from After Hours?

"reckless moron" is at least a slight improvement on the second version of this post, as it appeared when I hit "reply" a moment ago. (Nasty bit of gendered abuse, if anyone curious missed it.)

yeah, that is literally exactly what I meant :rolleyes: yourself

cop the fcuk on FFS.

These rules are in place for years, all the parties are informed and know about them. They have gotten loads of complaints in the past. I have reported it to the gardai, the council and them for years. They know exactly what they are doing.

Should have done the Traveller thing on Monday or Tuesday next week.

Too soon.

oh deary me, "gendered abuse" if I had said "dickhead" or "prick" I bet you would not have called it that, cringeworthy crap.

Did he really utter the words "I don't want to unseat Michael D" or did I just imagine that??

And completely unprompted no less. No tweet, no twoo, a twit,...........perhaps?

Yes he did.

Sean is coming across as the love child of Terry Prone and a robot.

He has clearly been taking heavy duty public speaking, decorum classes. And he is failing the exam!

I will love it if Casey has a copy of a letter of objection to a traveller camp signed by Michael D.

Still watching this on +1 and while it's better than the one the other night, Pat Kenny's seemingly personal bias on several of the issues raised is skewing the debate badly as he cuts off some answers, and badgers on others.

Yeah, I might indeed have called it "cringeworthy crap", strong suggestion there.

You might have somehow failed to noticed my picking you up on the rest of your vitriolic nonsense. "Scumbag" and "vile piece of work" are ludicrously over-the-top, if you really want to me walk you through them slowly.

There could be a decent comedy sketch in this, though. The Potty-Mouthed District Tidiness Committee. Script would pretty much write itself, and if we got stuck for ideas, just cog straight from rubadub's posts.
