    It would have to be the Healeys Rae.

    Their surname is Healy, the Rae part is just a nickname to differentiate them from other Healy families nearby.

    the philosopher Fr Jack had the perfect term..."Gob5hites!"

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    You need a collective not a plural. A clatter of Healy Rae?

    The were from Rae originally.

    But pretty sure they've changed their name by deed poll, they appear on the ballot paper as Healy Rae, so it's now their actual name and plural is Healy Raes. It's what they refer to themselves as anyway.

    They work very hard for their constituents?

    Well, I guess just like every other TD in the Dail so...or at least they claim to.

    What corruption are you implying?

    The people of Kerry elected reps that woke hard for their constituents. Just as some left wing urban rep might work hard for those who make representations to them.

    I always dislike the way those who campaign on urban issues or issues relevant to those in towns and cities are somehow seen as working class heroes. Tony Gregory being the most famous example.

    A mugging of Healy-Raes (it's hyphenated, so I reckon the 's' goes at the end :))

    I thought their acceptance speech was great, it sounded like they wanted to make love with every single ballot paper that voted them, think Randy Marsh, South Park, ectoplasm.

    The urban left types are just as bad in my book and share a lot in common with the Healys Rae, both groups want something for nothing.

    They are cute hoors through and through, and people from Kerry should be embarrassed to be represented by them.

    But just for clarity, not corrupt?

    Being a "cute hoor" is not exactly a crime in politics.

    Here's your proof.
    "Any decision that I or my brother would ever take would first of all be in the interests of the people of Co Kerry and secondly in the interest of the country," Mr Healy-Rae said.

    "But whatever we’ll do we won’t make any mistake about what we do."

    When asked if he and his brother would vote the same way, Mr Healy-Rae said: "We’ve pulled together this far and we managed against all the odds to get two people from the same house elected on the same day on the same ballot paper and I believe I got the highest vote in the country and I want to shove this on to the big shots in Dublin who looked down their noses at us for a long time.

    "Well they got their answer too because we’ve a clear mandate to represent the people of Kerry."

    Gregory was just as bad. An urban parish pump politico.
