    The hypocrisy of the Irish electorate summed up in a few lines. Everybody says they want the system cleaned up, bbam was posting about people in his office shredding letters from TD's trying to get constituents bumped up lists, but then they bitch like f**k if someone they elected isn't playing the system hard enough on their behalf. Which way do ye want it lads?

    Good man freedom, I said as much earlier. Thing is it will never change

    The desert boots were a f**ker for staining, cheap suede but at £15 a pair no one cared too much.

    Is Bob 53? If this guy is who I think it is, he would be well known in the local marts. Believe it or not.

    You're right in what you did and what you are saying but it's a vicious circle. The fools spend so much time running around doing these jobs instead of what they should be doing, making sure that bills and regulations
    are properly drafted that all of these stupid anomalies keep getting through which creates more jobs for them to garner more votes from and so on. The only way to fix it is that instead of saying thanks that anyone who is forced to go to a local TD for that sort of nonsense should tell the TD that if they have to contact him again for something similar he'll get no vote in the next election and that if they hear of anyone else having a similar problem he'll get no vote in the next election. He knows there's a problem and exactly how it should be dealt with so deal with it.

    Personally speaking I don't want to see any TD I elect from one election to the next other than on a current affairs programme. They have no business in their constituency outside of election time at all. Their job is to ensure the country is properly governed whether in government or opposition and they can't do that if they're taking phonecalls abotut Con's partners education grant and I mean no offence Con in that comment. The system is broken and you did what was necessary to work around it.

    I agree, I believe the whip system and the civil service can share plenty of the blame also. What have we, 166 TD's? But, how many of them actually have any influence? While they can do certain things when it comes to a vite you're under the kosh, it's do what you're told time under the whip, or suffer the consequences.

    "Yes, Minister" I think continues to be quite accurate.

    I don't believe the will is there to fix these systems at present. Until then, the TD's magic fón will be my magic bullet.

    Agree there "yes minister" just about sums up our system, the CRC scandal on top of the last 10 years of corruption incompetence and venality definitely gives the impression that Ireland is rotten to the core .
    This is a state of insiders and outsiders the insiders have their nose in the trough while the outsiders don't get a look in ,unfortunately the majority of farmers seem to be condemned to this role of waiting for crumbs from the table ,also interesting to note that the window of opportunity for a new party has passed with the sad news that David Hall and a number of other very able independent TDs are considering signing up for FF

    I reckon it goes on ahead of you, a kind of warm up act, and you just proceed directly to the scene of the accident.
