    Cant believe David is asking Joan a question. I'm outraged. Just like Joan.

    McCullagh threw his pen down on the podium.

    Fed up.

    Used to chat to a lady on the train to Cork when I lived down there. She always told me I'd make a great politician. I took it as a compliment for ages. I'm beginning to question that as each election passes.

    She was calling you a bullsher

    Well folks I think we can all agree the presenter is as absolute embarrassment.

    Constantly interrupting and not at all in control or steering the debate in any sort of informative manner.

    OK did I miss it but was the question about tax asked to MDH? Or was that an opportune ad break?

    I'm the only woman from the Gaelteacht to run - is it a medal she wants?

    Are you talking about travellers or the candidates?

    The candidates

    Liadh throwing the kitchen sink at it there to scramble a few votes.

    NiRiada said she want to be the voice of the marginalised. Please don't let her be the VOICE of anything. Very close to Mrs. Doyle's falsetto.

    Marbles in her mouth, absolutely obnoxious.

    Let’s see if he roasts Michael D on expenses now.

    Mickey D and his speeches again. We don't feckin care about your speeches.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,733 ✭✭✭touts


    This lecture in Queens must have been bloody good because it is the only thing Micky D can cite everytime he wants to tell us what he's been doing for the last 7 years.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,429 ✭✭✭C__MC


    Poor by ni Riada tonight

    Solid enough last week but a very lack luster effort tonight

    What about his private enterprise? Calling BS on it.

    Mary Lou is going to be raging with LNR after releasing their loophole about their "average wage".

    She whitewashes her political party from her rehearsed "about me" speech

    Only in Ireland. Publish the accounts after I've been elected.
    Sounds fairly South American/Banana Republic to me.

    Well than you cant abuse them for running and winning

    Errr I don't think I've abused anyone. Just because I don't want to be a politician doesn't mean I can't have an oponion on their performance!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,037 ✭✭✭✭The Talking Bread


    Liadh S.O.U.N,D. B.Y.T.E.S Ní Riada

    She just spoke for 5 minutes in riddles there, throwing in randomn buzz words like Gaeltacht, woman, legacy, pride, Brexit and mentioning who her Daddy is etc w/o saying absolutely anything

    The two ladies and Gavin haven't had a good night. Not sure what to say about SG's performance tonight, to be honest.

    Mickey D and his speeches again. We don't feckin care about your speeches.

    The only difference between him and most of our career politicians is he's more eloquent.

    The allowance wasn't paid to me it was paid to the incumbent president.

    You WERE the incumbent president.
