Worst TD ever elected

Think Waterford has the monopoly on this one ! We have had several excellent candidates for the title ! Ciara Smiler Conway, John Smoker Deasy, Mary Kilkenny Butler, Martin Evoter Cullen actually delivered something for the electorate here. Oh nearly forgot John Aliens Halligan. I'm sure there more but it's a start

Not saying he's the worst ever, but Bernard Durkin has been a TD for 40 years. He was briefly a Minister for State and an opposition spokesman a few times. That he was never considered for something better was an indictment of how poor he is.

What has he achieved in 40 years in the Dail? Answer is nothing. A glorified councillor, gets hedges cut and the odd pothole filled, opposes anything progressive, but stands at the front of every photo when they're cutting ribbons. Wasted career IMO.

I saw this thread and Ciara Conway was the first name I thought of, you beat me to it😂

Jaysus where do you start there have been so many. Regina Doherty, Michael Woods, lawlor, Gormley to name but a few

Lowry would be up there, more brown envelopes than you can shake a stick at

Not 100% on that for sure, but she has basically disappeared, not that she was too prominent even when elected

I can, he fecked off to Europe, albeit, not even that ended well 😏

What about yer wan down Clare way that ripped off the housing charity? Didn't she have a load of crackpot theories and then had to do an abrupt about-turn on them after her party HQ told her to wind her neck in?

Edit: L101 got in before me and mentioned her above
