    Pull the other one. Leo talks jibber is about the republicans being anti British then doles out insults to them in the Brexit trade deal build up. He’s a troll of the lowest kind

    Yes and he’s still better than Martin imo.

    Martin is a notoriously prickly individual and he’s finding it difficult to hide that this evening.

    I think Éamonn Ryan doesn't deserve the hate.

    Don’t think Martin is fit to be Taoiseach watching this tbh. As much as I dislike Leo he is at least far more statesmanlike

    He's a lot slicker and polished that's for sure.

    But we've already seen that there's fook all behind it over the last 9 years.

    It's a term to say 'all cows in the country' owned by all the farmers in the country.

    you cant increase carbon tax and not impoverish people. The transport industry and rural dwellers are where the poor workers are.

    They done the right thing. These people are spending years rearing beef herds to receive a paltry price for their efforts. They had to do something to for the government to stand up and notice. I realise it must be frustrating to be stuck on the m50 fair enough, but sometimes it takes drastic action.

    Disagree. I have found it a really worthwhile debate to be honest - largely down to Claire keeping them (mostly) in order and calling them out where necessary

    After the break there might be five minutes of talking. It would have been better to plough ahead until the end.

    We didn't have a climate crisis 40 years ago.

    Pump slurry onto the garden at Dail Eireann then. Stop making lives hard for working people.

    Blocking up the M50 in their 191 John Deeres worth about €70k. My heart bleeds. :rolleyes:
