You can put lipstick on a PIG: Mary Coughlan on BBC Hardtalk

What a disgusting thread title that seeks to abuse a politician before even getting to any substance.

No one is implying that Mary is ugly, rather that she makes Donie Cassidy look intelligent. Your riddled through and through FF, but can you not even see that she is a out of her depth.

There's no shortage in substance - it's important to say! A soft interview badly handled by Coughlan.

You really are a fool.

Then let the interview speak for itself rather than allowing moronic tabloid titles to prejudice the listener even before they have heard it.

You really are a fool.

Way to debate, but what can you expect from a person that defends a man who mocks a charity for sick children as the Jekyll and Hide foundation.

All that aside, so you honestly believe that she is a capable representative of this state. Do you believe that young people are leaving Ireland, because its a fun thing to do. Are you that out of touch with reality.

Young people are leaving the country to SNOWBOARD. Surely they should wait for the Smart Economy. It must be happening fairly soon. Someone might tell FAS as they predict 87,000 job losses minimum in 2010 and 11,000 in 2011.

I thought it was quite clever as it makes links between Coughlan and another hopelessly-out-of-her-depth prominent female politician (Sarah Palin), and to FF's role in wrecking the economy so badly that Ireland is now firmly in the "sick man" PIIGS group in Europe.

Wow are you another one who gets a hard on when Donie is mentioned.

As for young people leaving Ireland well people do it for a variety of reasons, jobs, to travel round the world, stay with friends or family in another country or just because they see the idiot viewpoints are expressed by people like you and decide life is better anywhere else.

Emigration didn't cease 1997-2007, lots of young people left then and were happy to do so.

Really

Funny that for being out of her depth her experience was greater than Obama's hopey changey thing.
