effectively people were saying back here we would rather trump over leo , which is not good

i imagine the way things are in places like falcarragh in donegal or kilmore quay in wexford people would have acted the same , i also think its really important the protesters and the supporters of the likes of richard boyd barrett and claire daly know this too

because they were as big a loser in this as leo

bottom line Trump has done more for the Doonbeg area, and thinks more of it and it's people, than the likes of Leo, boyd barrett and claire daly, or any dublin government or their media ever have or will.

Leo likes to keep his popularity ratings up - he has never even been elected Taoiseach ...

That really is the big issue here two , we never got a chance to vote for our next taoiseach because it was done in house

i am normally a local voter when it comes to general elections in other words vote for the guy that dose the most work in the county ect , but a lot of people around the country in the last election voted FG because the likes of Kenny were rurarly motived varadkar is not and not only fails to listen to his electorate but his own local representatives

i am still amazed by the boyd barrett / claire daly crew all week

Kermit.de.frog · 08-06-2019 04:47AM

Would Kenny have been able to weather Brexit like Varadkar has? I think Kenny was a bit too affable for the Brexit problem.

I'm not so sure.

We needed fresh leadership coming in to what the government knew was a special challenge the country was going to face.

I would actually say Simon Coveney has done a really good job and is the one actually pulling the Brexit strings but I do think we needed someone fresh to give impetus to the challenge with Brexit.

Brexit hasn’t happened yet. Simon Coveney has done nothing regarding brexit except mouthing off in the media. These politicians will not be tested until after brexit happens.

You have no idea of politics if that is your view on Coveney's work so far.

Britain is far and away Ireland's biggest trading partner, accounting for 50% of our exports

He has communicated a clear consistent message that the Irish border and the GFA must be treated appropriately.
He has included the importance of a workable solution for the benefit of unionists living in the north as much as anyone else.
He has lead the Irish delegation in the Europe conversation.
He has been the primary point of contact in representing the Irish position to EU negotiators so they can ensure it is considered appropriately.
He has been appropriately diplomatic in finding the correct tone and words in all media communications with Irish, UK and Eu media.
He has remained above the radical hyperbole coming from UK sources.
He has lead a team within Europe including Mairead McGuinness, Helen McEntee, Neale Richmond to ensure that they have followed his lead in being informed and diplomatic.

I wouldn't be surprised if you think none of this matters. PArt of the problem with the UK is that every person who has a microphone put in front of them thinks they need to be one the saying something radical and revolutionary and that they should be listened to. The entire Irish delegation sees itself as part of a team.

What do you think he should have done?

Kissing Brit ar$e and Eu ar$e comes so naturally to Blueshirts .

Bruton creamed himself just at the thought of licking Charlie Boy .

Pretty obvious what the Blueshirts would have been doing to Irish Freedom Fighters from 1916 through to 1922 .

What really matters are the preparations for brexit which can only be judged after brexit. Looking at each item on your list, there is no depth to them which will have a significant impact in the real world.

His behaviour so far has influenced the negotiations which is influencing the type of Briext which will happen.

Your comment is like suggesting studying doesn't matter, it's what happens on the day of the exam which counts.

Obama intervened during the Brexit referendum to threaten he would move Britain to the bottom of the pile for any US trade deal if they left the EU, so why was his intervention ok ?

As far as I can see no one has any idea what type of brexit will happen. Also, he wasn’t involved in any relevant negotiations.

Ok I suppose it’s possible he was involved in some secret negotiations, I can’t prove that he wasn’t. I doubt it though, he is not a relevant politician with influence in Europe.

Christ Nobelium. If you read the posts, you'll see there was a different conversation going on. You know how conversations work don't you? Or maybe you don't. Don't worry about it, I'm sure you're a stable genius.

He did say that they would have to join the queue I say the bottom for a new trade deal. You think they should be first or keep a deal the EU haven even though there out
