Two names spring to mind. Bridget McCole and Grace.
Think there's worse than that, something was stirring a few years ago but got diverted to the theatre producer guy,
The two names I mentioned are bad enough but it has me wondering how worse can it get?
4 hours in only 6 have spoken so far. Grim! What time is closing these days? 😁

Looks like some FFers have burner phones and managed to contact the journalists......
They are guests of the hotel, drink all night
Anyone know who the former TD was that got cautioned for stealing alcohol from a petrol station?
Do FF TDs think we will be impressed by a late night think-in? Get it done early and efficiently like a normal organisation.
Them lads still think it's 1983 and when they've finished the meeting they'll pile into the Opel Rekord and get a fish supper to thicken the stomach
Tough interview for Michael Martin on Radio 1 this morning. He was a bit snappy.
He was asked whether his party was over-obsessed with Sinn Fein. He said No but acknowledged that some of the lads on Boards have a problem there. 😋
Looks like the Coveney cronyism saga will run on for another while with the confidence vote.
Anyone a link to the podcast? Searched,but maybe it's not up yet?
Sinn Fein doing Fianna Fail a favour IMO. FF'ers get to put Martin under the thumbscrews for a few days anyway with threats of will they/won't they.
Good for the electorate too as FF members can put up or shut up. All very well to voice discontent, but not much use if you just want to be seen to be peeved for optics.
And just in time for our now traditional hospital crisis, the Slainte-care issue is just beginning. Seems there was little will. So little two top people quit. Shows FF/FG/Green are happy to kick the health can down the road.
Think McGuinness or O'Cuiv might put forward some sort of challenge to test the waters, both likely retiring next time so nothing to lose
With FG doners Dinny and Larry so heavily involved in private health care it never stood a chance, too many trough snafflers at the VHI pot as well
We know that's all FF/FG are about.
Hopefully these people, who resigned having had the piss taken out of them, will shine another light on FF/FG and their sleeping accomplices in the Greens.
Greens....pffft
Trough snafflers! Love it
Not a great look for the government. The day after a full and frank meeting of FF, the leader has to order the parliamentary party to vote with the party to protect a FG minister or face a 6 month suspension.
The whole chaotic show is teetering on the brink.
A six month suspension is nothing especially when they will probably lose their seat in the next election. If yes vote wins and an election is called, what will MM do when some of his candidates are suspended?
If a few of them took a stand they might save their seats. And be a part of the new order that is coming in FF anyway.
I totally agree. I happen to know one of the FF ministers very well and in their younger years there was no chance they would be backing FG or as we both called them The Blue Shirts.
You can sense the disappointment dripping off the screen. Journalists hyping up a story for clicks and eyes. Reality is a lot different.
There's a new order coming?
I thought the lack of a new order coming was the problem really.
A new order in the sense of a leadership change, remains to be seen if it will be a different order.
Imagine being a member of one of the civil war party's, that game pretended to be different to the other, opposed to the other, and somehow better than the other, for over 100 years.
Apparently, so much opposed to each other, that each time one replaced the other, they took down portraits of one, and replaced it with the other (Dev/Collins)
Then in the year 2021, you're a member of one of the FF party, who will be punished, if you don't STFU about your party leader refusing to punish a FG member.
The whole things gone to hell in a handcart, sideways.
Tyrone v Mayo not going to be exciting as this clusterfcuk that's unfolding for the powerswap party's. 🤣
FF FG will still most likely lead the next government SF will not get near the numbers needed loads of people complain about no choice but then go and vote if they do for an group or independent that will run a mile from actually going into government prefer to shout from the sidelines we have far to many of these elected to offer a real alternative good or bad .
FF will struggle to get double figures, FG are at their height ,only way for then to have numbers is if they don't run candidates against each other in certain constituencies,
Worrying latest opinion polls for ff and fg.
Sinn fein on the rise yet again.
Where is the opinion poll?
Looks dead set for SF / FF coalition. Interesting times.
