Gormley leaving Cabinet

[petervalhala]

So, Green Gormley will leave the dept of enviornment having achieved nothing...brilliant.

Ah, so you're blind and deaf as well as dumb.

Explains why you claim you don't have a TV

[Digout]

And the light bulbs, don,t forget the light bulbs. Only for him we would all still be in the dark..

And the bike scheme, cycle with no cycle lanes.

So where does this leave Gormley in relation to his ministerial pension?

And what about Cuffe? How long till he qualifies for a ministerial pension?

Also, will Cuffe be entitled to a new Ministerial car or will he just take Gormley's Prius?

[adamirer]

this is a joke.. or are you serious?? theres nothing on any of the online news reports

[CookieMonster]

If Gormless is trying to save his seat he'll have a tough job ahead of him. Seeing as his only genuine ability is to talk in circles and produce more bulls**t than a Deseret cattle ranch they're not exactly the skills needed to win back a very unhappy constituency.

[TradCat]

Thats a bit harsh digout. He managed to get a motorway through Tara, after all. That can't have been easy...

In fairness Dick Roche did the hard work on that one. Gormley just came in at the end and took the glory.

[Hound]

De Burca, dared Gormley to publish the DDDA report. So now that Cuff is in place, the report can be left unpublished.....I know that's light....but then so are the greens.

Ah, so you're blind and deaf as well as dumb.

I think everyone around here knows that you are the ignorant gombeen dumb troll around here.

Why dont you p1ss off back to your gombeen buddies and stop derailing threads?

To all posters interested in this thread: Do not let this idiot troll derail this thread like he has done with so many other threads. Ignore him and dont reply to anything he says.

At this stage, it might be more that Gormley is saving his seat by moving out of the limelight! Or maybe, in such a small party, it doesn't matter so much who does the job, and it's better for them all to get some government experience - whether in government or opposition, it's useful experience.

Of course it does. The Minister is still in control of the Department, sits at the cabinet table and all the rest. On your other point, you should appoint people as a Minister because they are the best person for the job not to get experience and although Gormley hasn't been great, I think he is a better Minister than Cuffe will be. Finally the leader of the party really should be at the cabinet table and it does weakened them if that's not the case and the Greens aren't exactly strong in this government.

This just seems very amateuristic.
