    Thought they'd have picked Chambers in Mayo rather than Dooley

    She's already elected to the Seanad I believe

    Haven't seen MM's Seanad nominations posted anywhere, so here they are:-


    Mary Fitzpatrick (FF)
    Lorraine Clifford Lee (FF)
    Erin McGreehan (FF)
    Timmy Dooley (Cretin)
    Regina Doherty (FG)
    Aisling Dolan (FG)
    Emer Currie (FG)
    Mary Seery Kearney (FG)
    Vincent P Martin (brother)
    Róisín Garvey (GP)
    Eileen Flynn (traveller - I think she ran in the Seanad elections)


    So four female senators for FG, 3 for FF and 1 for the GP.


    Didnt everyone get the chance to scrap the Seanead and they rejected it?

    Complaining about it now is that not a bit stupid?

    He spent the last few years slating Harris. Now's his chance to show us all how to fix it.

    Can’t say I’m overly impressed with first time TDs getting ministerial posts

    Hard for him to be worse than Harris but it's possible.

    FF criticised them for their handling of housing and health for years. FF really had no choice but to take on those 2 portfolios.

    Generally, she was like an automaton basically repeating the lines she was given. I saw no real passion for the job.

    Just saying, I don't know if she has what it takes, we'll see.

    My bets are on Donnelly's head rolling first then hers. Based on the jobs they have to do and their perceived abilities.
    she preformed well on uk tv during her stint as minister for europe

    Simon Harris, a college dropout, as minister for higher education. Doesn't seem to make much sense...

    That is not going to be forgotten.

    Fitzmaurice is already using it as a rallying call.

    Naughten is the only one from the West and she is junior something or other.
    And she is only there probably because she was chair of the Committee on Climate Action and the Environment.
    She can talk shyte with Ryan and that muppet from Offaly Pippa horsey type.
    And she is junior in Agriculture.

    What fooking muppet would let a green into Agriculture.:rolleyes:
    ff and fg are going to get hammered in some parts of the country in the future.

    I am not allowed discuss …

    Yes she did, but that wasn't difficult with some of the most ill-informed journalists in the history of journalism. Her interview with John Humpries being a case in point.

    Fish in a barrel doesn't cut it really.

    The writing is on the wall for Leo.

    Today is the day that FG's disastrous election (and Varadkar's terrible leadership) came to the fore - when the jobs for the boys were getting lost and replaced by FFers and Greens.

    When the dust settles and the dispossessed and/or never-possessed realise they've a lot less cash coming in each month with a lot more time on their hands then the plotting will begin.

    If a FG taoiseach takes over in Dec 2022, and that's a big IF because FF can't be trusted, then it's more likely to be Coveney than Varadkar.

    Why do the West need a minister?

    Cork South Central have 3. Does it matter?
