    We need to cut the herd of TDs while we are at it. Way too many of them.

    And get rid of all councillors and senators.

    All this sounds like it’s going to cost me money
    Meanwhile we aren’t even drop in the ocean compared with much bigger countries that will never pay for the sh!t they produce.
    It’s a bit of a farce.

    FG handlers possibly realised now that constantly attacking the shinners has backfired.







    They now have the greens in their sight.

    That green girl, speaks a lot of sense.
    As someone who's never been into a party, she speaks to me.

    The FF guy is a muppet, really bad PR whoever put this guy on to be a spokesperson.

    Well Richards performance tonight won't help them improve their position in the polls. He's lost at sea.

    Looks disinterested to me. Think FG have given up on this election.

    It's actually hilarious how everyone shuts up and nods their head every single time the lady from the Green Party starts talking......she could say literally anything and nobody will say a word.

    Yer man from Fianna Fail is actually mildly impressive, the only one to call out Sinn Fein on their populist bullsh1t

    Not watching the TV, but was he any worse than the performance he put in on the tonight show on Thurs when he was caught barefaced lying about Catherine Noones and his election pact being paused by the party?

    He's been excellent. Stand out performance. Calling out RTE on their poor broadcasting throughout the election so far.

    Spoofology from herself in green..

    No cost to the person to retrofit social housing.

    No but a massive cost to the rest of us..

    She was so concerned about a 7bn fine in 8 years yet no bother with 2.25bn a year to retrofit existing houses..

    So retrofit the social housing first and it won't cost them nothing.

    And if you own a house, hard luck you pay for it yourself.

    30,000 per house for retro-fitting
    As someone here said recentlyit would be cheaper to give them fivers to burn to keep themselves warm

    People on the islands vote in advance and their ballots are held securely and opened on the day.

    In theory if FF and FG get the same number of seats then the Tipp vote would be crucial.

    Perhaps all the other votes should be held securely until the Tipp ballot is held.

    Common sense should prevail here and the polling office staff could put a sticker across each ballot paper as they are being handed out.

    That's a serious point . If the other election results are known before the Tipperary vote -then that would surely compromise the integrity of the whole process as the Tipp voters are voting in a context that was not available to all other voters.
