The others are going out to give interviews, also part of their job.

No, it should be done after, they should all hear each other out and show some ****ing respect.

Sure I will try that in work the next day. Ah I was outside giving an interview for Rté...

I like the passion. It's the type of attitude that gets me riled up and angry. The type of speaker you'd like to hear/see at marches and protests.

At the same time, as a TD he is undoubtedly getting a nice wage also.....

I liked what he said once about needing politicians who aren't just in it for the 'perks and the Mercs'..... I hope he still follows through with this thought....

As a TD of less than two weeks duration, I'd say his first BACS payment hasn't even been processed

Agree with him about payments of wages compared to UK positions.

Just get at whatever point you're trying to make. :rolleyes:

Yes, those who are upper-middle income spend the most in this country individually and as a group.

Micky Dolenz · 07-12-2010 06:14PM

Jaysus, I might vote SF this time around.

I'd say alot of others will be as well.

davetherave · 07-12-2010 06:16PM

35 minutes and he is still going strong. Looks like he has another 20 or say pages to get through. SF making the most of their allotted time anyway.

Bit rude of her to keep interrupting him though..

They should all be there till the very end. Look if this is case, get these lads on the clock. I bet that dail would be full if it was on the clock.

Christ has that guy wrote a book ? Fair play to him, he is bringing up some very valid points.

Sealed my hatred for the wench.

Thanks very much for that. What an offensive little person she is - up there with Brian Lenihan's father in 1990 who responded to a journalist's question on emigrant statistics with "that's good; let them go!". And how dare Coughlan say we're going because we want to, because we have PhDs and more qualifications than ever. What an ignorant, obnoxious offensive thing. The vast majority of Irish people who are emigrating that I know are pulling all the strings they can to stay at home. I'm certainly trying to avoid it at all costs.

PS: According to Doherty, while we are emigrating 66 Public servants (including judges) in Ireland earn are paid more than €500,000 per year!

Oh, I agree... but lets not say fair play on SF for staying... they were waiting their turn.

He'll explode before then. He needs to throw in a dramatic pause or something... Hes a machine.

Hope hes on primetime

I saw that [Coughlan] while worrying about getting a job out of college (one never transpired). I swear, I nearly put my foot through my laptop.

Biggins · 07-12-2010 06:19PM

This ruddy SF man is scary.

Scary that if there was a few more like him with the clear skills he has in getting to the core points and making them clear to the public and addressing them, this country with similar quality IN ANY PARTY might actually get somewhere.

But no, we have what he called them "Gombeen politicians"

Yes, as far as I know.
I know Arthur Morgan does for sure.
