Casey obviously has no respect for the people of Ireland. This is another ego boost. The man should f*** off back to 'merica.

He’d be in some length of a queue Matt if they all go.

The poster claimed he had done nothing, but that clearly isn't case.

Genuinely curious as to what he has done during his time as an MEP. Perhaps you could enlighten me?

He might only take half the wage Francine.

Is that half the gross, net or makey uppy wage?

As do I - hard work that is.

Making millions would not be a neccesary qualification to make a good politician for me though.

Well for me a good politician is one that calls a spade a spade.

You can apply your question to any of the present cohort of Irish Meps . Most just seem to be nodding donkies.

I wasnt trying to be smart, these guys are in my electoral area. I dunno if Casey is worth a vote on this tbh, its not a Mickey mouse position like the President.

Still waiting on the canvassers to start coming from 2014, seems my area doesn't exist to any of them!

Casey is a complete chancer. He'll say anything to get elected, then kick back and do f-all as an MEP. Unless of course there is some money to be made for him or his cronies.

Exactly. It's money for jam and he knows it. I'd say being an MEP is a great laugh.

Casey came up with something me good points that people believe in before the Presidential election.
Thing is the man seems pretty old at 61, we need somebody younger and smoother to take up his mantra and bring it to the next level.

Dunno if he did enough to get enough support. Sure traveller bashing is fashionable but he needs more skills. A bitta anti-gay and anti-trans, some anti-immigration etc.

He never fully commited to the outraged gang. So many more fashionable beats he missed.

It is more of a Mickey Mouse position than most Parliaments.

Meps are there to act on the commission's wishes.

Largely a rubber stamp body.

For someone like him to get elected they would need to be smoother alright. Casey is not a good public speaker.

Goes to show what feck all interest people have in European elections if Ming got elected.

Wouldn't have a clue who the other MEP's are,Mairead MacGuinness maybe?

There's loads of people in the North who vote for politicians who don't even want to be politicians. If Peter said he would not take up his seat if elected, that might be a big vote catcher.

Yeah I think the traveller bashing was a bit of a hail mary move from him during the Presidential election.

I think he would say anything to get elected.

With the increase in right wing populists in the EU, he ll probably be voted in with his nonsense

Yep. He needs to take a leaf out of the Shinners book and start trying to fix everything without any facts and figures to back it up.

You do know the constituency stretches right across the country? Can't see that being a popular stance.

I agree with some things he says, but he's a supporter of Ireland leaving the EU. It's nice to see someone telling the truth about travellers, but there's much bigger issues with this guy

Necro

Still, surely they have to do something to justify their wage as an MEP.

They cant just be heading over for the craic or anything.

Just turn up for a few meetings and junkets and happy days. At age 61 he'll only have one term there and he can retire with a sweet pension on top of his wealth.

If Ireland left the EU he wouldn't be long returning to the USA or Australia.

Is he? Have you a source for this, it would put me off voting for him if true tbh.

He wants to stay in the union

Ah, so leave the single currency but stay in the EU.

Doesn't seem to have thought that through very well.

[Deleted User]

Apparently so but he thinks all countries should have their own currencies again.

He has a point about the immigration system in its current form though.

If he knocks on your door, Necro, what would you ask him?

God forbid somebody say something that the "masses" might agree with.

Is the alternative to go against what a majority may think in order to stay "pc"?
