Tanaiste Mary Coughlan Plays The Gender Card

OutlawPete · 25-02-2010 01:30PM #1

More Dail shenanigans.

Earlier, Mary Coughlan played The Gender Card when she called comments from Charlie Flanagan "condescending and sexist" after he implied she wasn't up for the job of the Company Law Consolidation Bill with the comment " it's too big for ya".

Blah blah blah Mary Longcock blah.

digme · 25-02-2010 01:34PM

She obviously isn't if that's her comeback.

Rabies · 25-02-2010 01:36PM

condescending ... yes
sexist ... no

mikom · 25-02-2010 01:36PM

Is it cos I has a fanny.

IvySlayer · 25-02-2010 01:37PM

She can't do her job, because she's **** at it. What has she actually done? Stand aside and let someone else have a go.

token56 · 25-02-2010 01:38PM

Gender is fecking irrelevant, she is one of the most useless and incapable ministers and deserves to stripped of her title as soon as possible.

I'd love to punch her in the gee.

I believe that she's supposed to be the female of her particular species, but I doubt that they call them women.

I wish to God she would **** off right now. She is an absolute waste of time and fresh air.

Let us never forget that Mary Coughlan failed to secure an easy 500 jobs for Ireland.

O'Leary: "I can creae 500 jobs for Ireland if you give me that hanger and if I dont have to deal with the DAA. Should be an easy thing to do. Are you up for creating 500 jobs?"

Mary: "No thanks"

The Irish nation: "WTF?"

Nothing to do with her being a woman, everything to do with her being an awful policitian and Tanaiste

Apart from Coughlan's idiotic "waaaa" comment, can Seamus Kirk not keep any order whatever?

Perhaps she'll be shuffled out sometime very soon?

yep, but hopefully cowen doesn't die in the meantime, because that means she ends up as taoiseach!

Are they still having trouble finding volunteers for the Brian Cowen lookalikes team?

Point taken.
Ill go get confession;)

Mary, O Mary, whats the point of it all! God, she is just so useless, watching her general Performances in the Dail just makes me cringe. It will be interesting to see if Cowan shuffles her. How did she ever get such a prominent position, it wouldn't be so bad if she was on the back benches, i could tolerate a little more, but not much. Bring Back Mary O Rourke I say, no fear of sexist comments here i suspect.

Drummerboy2 · 25-02-2010 03:45PM

How did this woman ever manager to secure the job of Tanaiste. Whats happened with Ryanair is a debacle. 500 people would have been taken off the dole if she had made a proper effort to sort this problem out. These jobs were not just Dublin jobs but these 500 people would have come from all over the countlry. What a shambles.

tricky D · 25-02-2010 03:50PM

How that womanperson got into politics is a mystery.

She should go back to doing the voiceover for Charlie Brown's teacher - she was good at that.

As much as i dislike her, Michael O Leary has been acting the Maggot, these Jobs were never going to happen and even if they were, i doubt the SRT workers would have had a fraction of the terms and conditions they once had. O Leary found a weak spot (Namely good old Mary) and went on yet another publicity stunt.

Hate to be cynical about this but i just can't see Ryanair willingly creating 300 Jobs with no catch. I actually think O Leary is fantastic but on this occasion i feel he played on the hopes of all those who lost their Jobs at SRT

If you confess that to a priest, he'll say "me too" and reach for the holy vaseline.

I fear Biffo may consider himself as losing face if he does shuffle her (as the opposition and the entire country has been calling out for it). And, by all accounts, she got that position because of being a buddy of Biffo not through ability.

Hopefully she goes but the depths of stupidity displayed by this government it wouldn't surprise me if she doesnt :mad:

How long before someone plays the Sniper card on her?
