    Get off the stage.

    I defended nothing.

    I pointed out that in Ireland getting married at 15 is legal.
    I gave no opinion as to whether or not I think that is acceptable. (I don't btw)

    I did not know that,
    #and just thinking of how I was at 15, my thoughts back then
    My first thought was, 3 more yrs to go to not have to do what every one wants of me
    Get out there when education was done, have a full time job, and have one hell of a mad time, enjoying life to its fullest as a single person, single and ready to mingle,
    Did all of that, and have no regrets,
    But my mental state at 15 would not have been able to manage finances, home, or anything,

    The lunatic lefties crying into their man size extra large tissues today is an absolute joy to behold.

    And it's the liberal, bleeding heart brigade that allows them to stay here for that length of time. And they are pushing and pushing and pushing their agenda. day by day, week by week, month by month aided and abetted by a compliant media and a government more worried about the optics of their decisions abroad, than the consequences of them here in Ireland.

    If an illegally resident woman turns up at an antenatal appointment that's the point they need to be sent home.

    Are people voting for Casey as a "protest vote" against Travellers or is there something else I'm missing?

    No, it's because he's not bending over backwards to ingratiate himself with progressive leftist ideology. He's saying what a lot of people outside of Donnybrook privately think, but are unable to say for fear of being persecuted or prosecuted.

    You are missing a lot of what this man said, but anyway I have done my vote and kept my word. I can do no more,
    May the best Man/Woman win, we will know within 24 hrs

    I'm sure if he becomes President Mr Casey will advise Mr Trump to immediately send all the illegal undocumented Irish home pregnant or not.

    And there will be rejoicing across After Hours.

    The legal age of marraige in Ireland is 18, you can only get married at 15 if there are special circumstances.
    http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/birth_family_relationships/getting_married/getting_married.html

    Exemption from age requirement

    In certain special circumstances, you may be able to get a Court Exemption Order allowing the marriage to proceed even if one or both parties are under 18. The court will require you to show:
    • That there are good reasons for your application
    • That the granting of such an Exemption Order is in the best interests of the parties to the intended marriage
    You should contact either the Circuit Family Court or the High Court for details on how to proceed. This is an informal procedure. You may apply in person (without hiring a solicitor). There is no court charge for an application for a Court Exemption Order. However, if you hire a solicitor to represent you, you will have to pay him/her.


    Assume Mags had to do the above to get married at 15?

      You have argued that presidents have no power and now you’re arguing that they can advise the US president. Make up your mind flip flop

      Yup.

      That was the point I made.
      If she married in Ireland that a court would have had to give permission.

      I don't think anyone should get married at 15 personally but the government seems to think differently.

      Then the Courts are acting improperly.

      As a by the by - if, as you are suggesting, the Courts are so afraid why are so many Travellers in prison?

      Did those particular Travellers not have access to bricks?

      You are right,

      Can you explain that for me thanks. I haven't a clue about betting odds at all.

      At 2/7 (or 4/14), you would have to put on €14 to win €4.

      At 4/11 you have to put on €11 to win €4.

      4/11 is therefore a “longer” price, as your risk is less for the same potential win.

      I told the polling booth attendants this morning that Boards.ie said to expect a stampede of voters all day as there was going to be a coup. :D

      Beginning to feel a bit silly now. Low turnout so far.

      Thanks. I presume you get your original stake back also, forgive my ignorance :p

      Gee - but I thought the Guards were too terrified to arrest them and the Courts too intimidated to sentence them plus having ethnic status grants them immunity to the laws of the land so they can do what they like.

      That's what I have been reading on this thread is the situation.

      Apparently everyone knows that (Liberal lefty luvvies snowflakes who live in Dublin excluded)

      Any Irish illegals in the US SHOULD be sent home.

      Either that never happened or you did actually tell them and they laughed.

      At you.

      I did not even tell my family that boards ie was discussing it, I don't understand why you would do that.
      And as a matter of fact, the numbers coming out are very low so far, this is according to the news earlier on the radio

      "Betting without" means, if Higgins was not involved at all, what would the odds be?

      It's used as an indicator of preference.

      No; I'd agree with you there, if it wasn't for that there'd be a lot more of them in jail.
