Some people think that just taking orders from Europe isn't ideal governing. I won't state their many flaws but battering the low level earners time and again is shameful budgeting

SF DO want to be in power but not as a junior party they have stated this many times, anyone who seems to think otherwise probably wouldn't vote for SF in the first place.

FF benefited from people with short memories alright laughable really.

Saw danny on TV with Michael being interviewed.
He looked spaced ....again

If the Healy-Raes are honest that is enough.
Going on past experience there must be a few vipers in the new Dáil intake.

the healy raes are gonna go up to dublin and stick it to the cosmopolitan politicians

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.

I'm no fan of the Healy Rae's but you must be joking? Enda, Joan etc. were decent?

:rolleyes:

Danny does seem a bit er...touched by God's grace. He was interrupted by a clever follower during his election win celebration on rte wiht a quick 'up the kingdom' shout - saved his bacon.

The bauld Michael was on DE Telly, acting the Kerryman cute hoor. His, God bless him, only concern was that the 'two big parties cum together'. Then whatisface (Employment minister) from FG spoke about their meeting and how nice it was etc etc.

Aul gibberish. From them all. Esp Healy-Rae's 'for the good of the country' nonsense. Who's he kiddin.

Looking fwd to this second election to clear out this nonsense .

brocbrocach · 11-03-2016 04:14AM

I don't mind people giving out about the Healy Raes acting like eejits but I have to laugh that some people think their accents are something to have a go at them for ... I'm afraid no Irish accent would pass the "sophisticated"* test, sorry to break it to you. So while you're laughing at them ... someone else is laughing at you.

*involves trying to make foreign people sound like you

Their homes and showers and spare clothes are a long way from dublin city. Maybe I should read other replies before jumping in with my wrong interpretation of what the thread is about.

Oh don't be so boring, they're a great pair of lads who will bring a bit of much needed colour into the Dail. I think its nice to have characters like that in politics just like in Westminster where you used to have people like my namesake (Screaming LS) who would be totally 'different', not very PC either, but totally compelling , amusing, and colourful

Go on the Healy Rae's . . .

The title of your thread contradicts itself, because Morons would be incapable of using a train.

They didn't destroy the economy.

They didn't generate billions for Denis O'Brien.

They don't defend child rapists and Garda killers.

That's what you got from the 3 main parties. For all their sharp suits.

The Healy Raes work hard for their constituents.

I don't buy the suggestion that they were dancing on seats, you would have taken a pic. Similarly I think the smelling of sweat and drink stuff made up too. I agree they can be loud and triumphant, and that's annoying.

Do you always demand a picture before you believe something someone says?

When the story sounds made up, I need more than the claim of someone on an anonymous forum on the www. If it's enough for you, fair enough.

Incidentally, I saw Lord Lucan on the train last week.

You think they will lose their seats if there's another election!?

It depends on whether they book their tickets online and reserve the seats. Although Irish Rail can be a bit lax when it comes to enforcing seat reservations.

The Bishop Basher · 11-03-2016 07:47AM

The Healy Rae's epitomise so much of what's wrong with politics in this country.

Yesterday's performance was not only unprofessional but it showed them up for what they are.

We need serious state like politicians who can not only represent us but represent themselves in a professional manner. We need politicians who understand that the needs of the nation may come before the needs of whatever backwater one horse hick town they hail from. The Healy Rae's are utterly incapable of either.

I'm not embarrassed by them because I didn't vote for them but I am embarrassed for the people of Kerry that this bunch of half wits would be who they choose to represent them in the national parliament.

There is/has been plenty of half wits in the Dail. Some of them have been very well dressed and being half wits hasn't stopped them being Greedy Halfwits !

Why would anyone be embarrassed by their own countrymen in their own country? 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

Well, that's where we differ. Passive acceptance of the parish pump corrupting our democracy is what has led to the least effective parliament in the western world.
No, it's not grand.

Well, since election they have called for a Minister for Rural Affairs.

You know, someone who might represent the millions who are actually concerned about issues like septic tank regulations and the closing of rural services, and less affected by heroin use or the housing crises in larger urban areas.

If there is another election, they would get a larger vote.

Healy Rae morons on the Dublin/Cork train right now
