Just looking at the NPHET briefing, I'd love a journalist to ask for opinions on this Bizzare trip

It was all for the cameras

One of the leaders of this crowd they met was killed in the same drone strike that got the Iranian General Soleimani - the man who directed Iran's proxy efforts in the region. Do Clare and Mick know what end of the paddling pool they're playing in endorsing organizations like this?

Along with their somewhat nutty theories about Belarus and Putin, you'd wonder who's taking them out to dinner in Brussels since they've landed as MEPs?

It’s a shame Daly has gone off the deep end by associating with that looper Wallace.

She was widely admired as a fundamentally decent and surprisingly pragmatic TD, even by her political opponents. She was well liked.

They’ve also some very funny opinions about Belarusian democracy and the role of Russia.

Lol

"Widely admired".

You don’t believe that because she was a socialist, and you think anyone to the left of Genghis Khan is not to be trusted. Doesn’t mean it wasn’t true. That’s why she was named TD of the year a number of years back by her colleagues as part of an end of year review in the Independent.

Whatever about being a Socialist, she's clearly become a Shiite

She is a hypocrite, like all the far left after the crash screaming about property developers and then all of a sudden not a peep out of her when her best mate tax dodge Mick got elected.

He stood in the Dail and said he was going to start paying back some of the money he owes out of his salary and then later on he back tracked and again not a word from Daly.

A complete fooking hypocrite.

08-04-2021 8:48pm

Daly is an insufferable gowl. Remember during the Bataclan (?) massacre in Paris years ago, while people were still being held hostage her and Wallace were capitalising on it tweeting to say the blame lay with the French because they sell weapons in the Middle East.

Classy.

ohnonotgmail · 08-04-2021 9:19pm

Lockdown has been tough on everybody but it has really sent these two off the deep end.

ShatterAlan · 09-04-2021 4:22am

What message were they trying to convey?

basill · 09-04-2021 5:18am

Kind of ironic that a defunct property developer visits a country that only existed in its current form after a bunch of shady deals in the early 20th century.

Hangdogroad · 09-04-2021 8:34am

They're the lefts answer to Gemma and Waters. I said it before in the worst politicians thread they're the type who will support any despotic regime or organisation as long as they're an enemy of UK, USA and Israel.

Jesus, are the people who elected these numbnuts not embarrassed by their decision to vote for them? I'm embarrassed because they used the word "Irish" to describe them.

Exactly. Mick Wallace tweeting about how he was apologising on behalf of Ireland for the role we played in the bombing of their cities.

Piss off like, he has no mandate from the Irish people to do or say anything in Iraq. He's elected to represent Ireland in Europe and this wasn't a trip under EU Parliament business, so he should STFU.

I needed a good laugh on a Friday. Does mick Wallace own any other type of clothes then what he’s wearing in that video ? He must have shares in the company because that’s all he wears.

Apparently Nama took the shirt off his back, he's waiting for a penny's to open in Brussels apparently

He was certainly no socialist in the boom times, grasped capitalism by the Goolies and wheeled and sealed with the best/worst of them. His socialism (Bitterness) comes from being bitten in the ass by Nama and more so the Banks who threw money at him like confetti

Claire looks hot in a Burka. She sweating like.

He also raided his employees pension fund and signed over his vineyard to his brother so it wouldn’t be repossessed.

Independents really are a waste of time.

Claires audition for the remake of the wizard of oz went well

new twist on the Burka look

mountai · 09-04-2021 7:44pm

Just a gentle reminder --- When they were in the Dail , they shouted from the back benches about corruption in the Gardai . If it wasnt for them , I wonder what would have become of McCabe and Wilson . Credit them for that at least .

I'll grant you that but the cynic in me thinks Miss Daly and Wallace had their own axes to grind with Garda Authorities generally, I personally don't think the mc cabe story was a primary motivation of their angst.

We are a smart country but FFS some of the people voted in by the electorate are complete gob****es - This is painful to watch.

But funny too (´⊙ω⊙`)(っ´▽`)っ

Every sexist comment in this thread just going to go unchallenged then i guess.

Not the only thing the two of them were caught doing together on the back benches.

Hangdogroad · 10-04-2021 6:48am

A name that pops up in relation to these two a lot is a "Dr" Declan Hayes. Mysterious individual who seems to have links with Assad and wrote a frankly bonkers sounding book called Hitlers Fight For Irish Freedom.

ILoveYourVibes · 10-04-2021 7:12am

Sinners are going to surge next election.

Remember we never had them politically active here during the troubles. If this continues ...i see people voting for them more not less. And indies like this are NOT helping.

I mean of all the useless exercises that have zero to do with Ireland.

A superb book. It takes pride of place on my shelf alongside his other seminal work 'Population Booms in Irish Lunar Colonies 1950-1980, A Retrospective'

Wanderer78 · 10-04-2021 7:24am

Might just help with tensions rising after that thick cnut trump, id like to see the place myself

The EU released a brief and curt statement saying this was NOT a sanctioned trip and had nothing to do with it, they went further by stating all non essential trips are postponed just to add a little dig.

Whilst this trip could not be described as a holiday, I'm not at all sure what it was about. Completely pointless and provocative.

One thing that does amazes me is the fact, I'd doubt Wallace could find Iraq let alone Rosslare on a map if asked too.
