Chu is fairly harmless but seems to attract irrational ire in some quarters. I'm assuming it's because she has the temerity to mention racism she's encountered and is thus seen as somewhat "uppity".

In fairness, there have been multiple posts as to why people dislike Chu, it’s been spoken about at length, if you are assuming because she mentions or discusses racism, it isn’t actually...

Paul Murphy is perfectly entitled to be a socialist despite growing up in privilege. You always get the feeling he judges the proles according to his slavish devotion to Marx and Trotsky, but he does get the votes.

It's his eyes that give it away though for me. There's no humanity there.

If you asked me who I dislike as a person that absolutely would be Alan Kelly. He act's like hes someone of high stature when he's prolly the most low brow leader of the Labour Party I can remember but add to that his manner and tone I find him to be a right turn off. And for some reason he always looks out of place wearing a suit and tie.

But the question is who's the most annoying and that has to be Richard Boyd Barrett.

David Cullinane gets my vote for his stupid questions and continuing inability to read anything about vaccine supply issues. Alan Kelly is a close second.

Dempo1 · 02-04-2021 8:18am

Not necessarily in order of annoyance

Darragh O Brien (special award)

Stephen Donnelly (Mind numbingly Arrogant)

Heather Humphries (albeit, quite difficult to understand a word she says)

Simon Harris (Expert on everything apart from his actual brief)

Healy Rae"s (Generally, but amusing, not in a good way)

Colm Brophy (who?, yes actually a junior minister)

Eamonn Ryan (Sympathy Award)

Robert Troy (some neck award, those missing Summons)

There's plenty to choose from because they've been a bloody joke with their handling of the pandemic but it has to be Stephen Donnelly for me with all his blue sky thinking and absolute rubbish he spouts like they're doing a great job and everything is on track for a Borat style great success. I know politics is mostly PR and spin but I've had a belly full of them all at this stage.

Politics is actually an extremely sh1t job, wouldn't touch it with a barge pole, feel sorry for them all, even the ones I disagree with

Clare Daly and Mick Wallace double act. The very worst type of left winger and I'd consider myself left leaning. Supporting despotic regimes on the basis of "anyone who's an enemy of Britain/USA/Israel is a friend of mine" school of thinking.

Agree completely but thankfully as they both settled into their respective EU nests, we hear little or nothing from them, I suppose Wallace in particular lost his MOJO once Nama went of the rader.

They weren't forced into it you know and I'm sure their bank balance isn't complaining. My uncle was a TD so I know there's a lot of work involved but there is some amount of spoofers in politics and it's okay to point out if they're rubbish in their role. If a person can't take criticism then they shouldn't be a politician.

they are human beings, theres a fine line between criticism and abuse, and most nowadays is just abuse. most enter it in order to try make a difference, they enter for the right reasons, but id say its ultimately just a head fcuk

Hard disagree. He's probably the most policy-focused minister in the Government. You'd get the impression he knows his brief inside-out.

Coveney is probably the most effective Foreign Minister we have had in my lifetime — just look at his manoeuvring around brexit.

AndyBoBandy · 02-04-2021 10:17am

I actually like Simon Coveney.

He seems to really know his stuff, and has always been excellent when talking about Brexit related issues, particularly when on British news/media/Andrew Marr.

I actually wanted him to get the FG gig ahead of Leo when Enda Kenny stepped down, despite my utter hatred of political family dynasties...

Yep he's also very very forgetful it seems. His performance in the Dail yesterday was quite the sight albeit Donnelly deserved a tongue lashing, coming from someone who's previous performance in government was appalling is a tad Ironic.

Labour have had plenty of good people down the years , unfortunately they have embraced identity politics this past decade , people like Ivana Bacik make them toxic for me

The root cause of her inability to get elected seems to be that she is totally devoid of charisma.

I haven't seen her in a few years but she honestly believes that no matter what she is the cleverest in the room. The quintessential child who never learned to share. Has also gone uber woke in the last few years it seems. Always got the impression that the more she got rejected by the electorate the less she thought of them.

I must add to the list so far, Helen McEntee (Leo's echo chamber) & although not a TD or electable i must also include Justin Barrett.
