..according to a rather starstruck scribe who was keeping record of this momentous event in Cork for the Irish Examiner. Some activists in awe of Mrs Robinson had to roll out their yoga mats such was the demand for seating. One Climate Justice pilgrim had to get up half way through the service as he had a ferry to catch to Spain. Violent bouts sea sickness in the Bay of Biscay must have copperfastened his zeal. Mary , who's new book "Climate Justice" is available in bookshops now, was incredibly chillaxed at the event. I dont know if coffee tables are still sustainable but I have no doubt that a copy of "Climate Justice" will be a must have for everyone who realises we are in the End Times.

I thought the thread title was referring to her inauguration as President of Ireland in a “Reeling in the Years” as we’re coming to the end of another year and another decade.

Another thread on climate shìte?

I must run out and buy her book before its sold out, knew i forgot something.

Indeed. And compared to the ordinary family it will cost her’s feck all with her huge pensions. Easy for the well off to preach.

How dare you speak about your betters like that? Just pay your taxes and shut up

tonycascarino · 27-12-2019 04:30PM

An awful sanctimonious pain in the arse. Can't stand her or her successor McAleese.

Incredibly sycophantic. The Irish media's adoration of Mary is off the scale.

No defence of Robinson here. But this thread is a prime example of sanctimonious tools who seem to think they'd do a better job but never bothered their arses.

The usual..

Millionaire only not · 27-12-2019 05:54PM

Mary Robinson was a pain and Mary McAlesse is that 10 times worse than her !

Whatever bad they were as presidents , but there cocky busy body’s since they left office

Beechwoodspark · 27-12-2019 05:57PM

Mary couldn't be even be bothered finishing out her presidency. She has been jumping from one pensionable bandwagon to the next for the last thirty plus years.

Youre the usual Irish hurler from the ditch.one of many nothing new or special.

Go for it. Put yourself in office since I mean you've obviously got all your stuff together.

Snarky comment time.

Shouldn't she be realasing it free as an ebook to promote activism and save trees

JohnnyFlash · 27-12-2019 06:16PM

This sort of incoherent rant is probably better suited to the current affairs forum.

It is harder to display righteousness on the Dart with an e-book. In any case Mary has given herself a free pass for everything in lieu of her self proclaimed "good works".

What has Mary ever done for Ireland?

Mary Robinson was the first step on the road to a United Ireland.

She wants the people of Ireland to keep repairing their washing machines in the name of climate change, while Mary gets her knickers washed courtesy of the Irish taxpayer.

I've met both of them lots of times through the course of my work, and President Mary McAleese was an absolute lady. A pleasure to meet and chat with in the grounds of the Aras. A really nice person, I've the fondest memories of her.

Robinson on the other hand, well she was a different kettle of fish altogether and I'll leave it at that.

“Big Bird” treated her outgoing staff in the Aràs like sh_#te!

I wonder, did she send signed copies to her oil producing Emirati buddies.

How so?.

I'd work with and know a lot of members of staff in the Aras and not a single one would have anything bad to say about her or her family.
