    Why are they on the Cork to Dublin train? Me thinks there will be a Kerry to Dublin service on the rails soon!

    Isn't it great how there's no drunken or smelly people from Dublin?

    Is it only people from Dublin that find these bog sloshers an embarrassment?

    Just like the group of speculators and developers a few years back as they partied in Malaga when our then minister for finance announced NAMA, thus handing their debts to the Irish taxpayer.!!
    Were you up in arms on boards.ie back then.??

    There is only one direct pair between Dublin and Tralee per day. There is however a train from Mallow to Tralee every two hours.

    Fwiw, MH-R is live on RTE from Dublin right now.

    I saw their antics on the news earlier.....what a circus. They said that they said they added a bit of 'colour' to the day.

    I wonder what this 'colour' is going to do to help fix the health service, chronic unemployment etc.....

    What Independent TDs will fix the health service and tackle unemployment?

    Why would anyone be embarrassed by their own countrymen in their own country? :confused: Irritated or annoyed by their behaviour perhaps but no reason to be embarrassed, certainly no reason to view your fellow Irish people with such naked contempt.

    If this was abroad & you had reason to believe that the local French/Chinese/Chilean or whatever people would judge all Irish people on the actions of one group then I could maybe understand but this was at home. A group of political supporters was celebrating having got their men in after a hard fought campaign. Were they overly rambunctious? Probably but I see no reason to beat our breasts or tear our hair out in national shame about it.

    Custardpi, much as I detest the inferiority complex (although paradoxically they think they are so much better than the rest of their country) and forelock-tugging of quite a lot of Irish people (a few of them here) I strongly agree that the Really Hays are an utter national embarrassment.

    They are public representatives of Irish people - it does not mean that I have contempt for fellow Irish people, just contempt for the Healy Raes and their fans. It doesn't mean that I'm ashamed to be Irish or embarrassed to be Irish or any of that self flagellating rubbish, and anyone who would judge all Irish people on the basis of the Healy Raes is an idiot... but I still find them an embarrassment.

    I dunno - I guess it's kinda similar to the way an American person would have found GWB an embarrassment (much smaller scale obviously).

    The country decided to get rid of a decent government who did the best with the budget they had. They've replaced that with a bunch of self-serving parish pump independents, loony left communists, a SF party who don't want to be in power, and a party who have bankrupted this country on three occasions.

    Let that shower form a popular government and let Labour and FG form the opposition. The Healy Rae's are just a beacon of this self-interest.

    The majority of them try and go up there to make a difference for their constituents. If you want to talk about seat warmers - talk about Sinn Fein. They have an oppertunity to go potentially into government but won't because it may damage them.

    Same with Fine Fail and Fine Gael at the moment. Not talking because of pride when it boils down to it. Embarrasing stuff if you ask me.

    Presumably you're happy enough for people to judge you based on whatever you're father has done in the past? Or would you prefer they decide based on what you do yourself?

    Maybe we should lock up the families of criminals with them? sure theyre all the same.......

    If I inherited the big house and a shed load of cash sure who am I to judge?

    As I am broke and having nothing to lose I can judge away:)

    Give one of the Healy Rae brothers the Health Ministry & put the other in charge of job creation. They'd have people filling in potholes from Coolock to Cahirciveen - job creation, infrastructural improvement plus a healthy ripple effect stimulus. The workers would be out in the fresh air too which will be great for the mind & body & thus reduce illness. Not a complete solution to the country's problems but sure they're only two men. :D

    Like it or not the phrase "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree" still justifiably carries some weight in modern society.
    Only when something has been done to warrant such an observation.
    Coming to conclusions about someone purely because of who they are related to (and not because of their own character/work) is ridiculous in my opinion.
    Should be considered too that they might be keen to do all they can to break away from that association.

    I wouldn't be a fan of the Healy Rae set (though I have a certain respect for them as operators) & I'd absolutely be annoyed by the behaviour described but I really don't see where embarrassment comes into it. I'd be more ashamed by the craven way in which supposedly more respectable politicians kowtowed to the financial services industry & our erstwhile "gallant allies" when it came to issues like regulation & later the bondholders. I'd also be embarrassed by the way our civilised, suit & tie wearing justice system treats repeat violent offenders with kid gloves. I'd be embarrassed too that in 2016 the Catholic Church still has such a stranglehold over our education system. Those are just a few of the things that as an Irish person I feel embarrassed about & where I feel we could do better. The boisterous behaviour of a few Kerrymen doesn't even come close.

    Who's Barry Fitzgerald? I'm beginning to think I'm not actually Irish. I never understand any political threads around here.

    I don't feel bad in anyway about being unfamiliar with the accent of a man who died almost 60 years
