    They are very religious and therefore must have very high morals.

    Schools applying for tickets.

    While we would get Tubbers to tell us all how terrible the authorities are. Can't they make allowances for this ethnic minority? All from the safety of his gated compound where there are zero travellers of course...
    Bloody liberal loonies. Bet not one of them will mention this!

    There was something on the radio about it yesterday. RTE Joe Duffy Show with someone else standing in for Joe.
    I don't know if they mentioned the "T" word though. I doubt they did.
    They apparently interviewed a woman from NZ who confronted them but was surrounded and threatened. The cheek of them.

    Lovely opinions of the Irish they'll have.

    Except these travellers are from Liverpool, travelling on UK passports so they belong to Her Majesty and not to Mickey D.

    Well that's good.
    I had heard they were Irish
    Wonder how they fund these sorties to far away places like New Zealand.
    I'd be luck to afford a trip to Liverpool but then again I have to pay taxes.

    They’d probably be eligible to play for Ireland (if they were so inclined) because of the grandparents rule.

    Sometimes facts when presented to the green movement don't suit them like when someone buys a new electric car but on paper if they kept their 2 litre petrol car until it died they would have impacted the planet less.

    That's not actually true at all. Engineering explained (great YouTube channel) did a breakdown of the lifetime emissions of a petrol vs hybrid/ev car and even in worst case scenario, like where coal is the source of electrical power generation, EVs will be cleaner over the course of 10 years or less. If you live somewhere that a lot of power is generated by wind/hydro then it will taken only a year or two for the EV to offset the emissions of production.

    The amount of co2 produced in the manufacture of cars is greatly exaggerated. That said I still choose to keep my 21 year old Alfa going because I like it and it works.

    Yes but their old polluting car continues polluting with the new owner, that's not in the calculation.

    Is he still demonstrating his great knowledge of Irish life?

    "I heard afterwards that he was in the Green Room and came over to Conor Nagle from Gill [publishers], going 'Are you Andy Lee?' Then he went to David McWilliams, 'Are you Andy Lee?'" - Andy Lee

    Casey is a clown and a creep.

    That sounds a bit like the time Jennifer Zampash!tlib asked him if he knew what direct provision was and he didn't know, despite answering questions on it a few weeks beforehand during his presidential campaign.

    I hope he's still demonstrating his knowledge of real life facts and not the lies manufactured by RTE about travelers.

    Well I would prefer a clown and a creep to Micky or Leo any bloody day.

    Whatever next, getting the secret handshake wrong at the Law Society Banquet?


    I heard he didn't know the difference between a spoon and a soup-tureen either, why should we listen to a thing he says?


    Honestly if your best criticism is that he can't mix fluently with the luvvies then I think you may have missed the reason why people voted for him.
