Sen. Mary White faces FF expulsion due to liberal Seanad vote

[EvotingMachine0197]

We need a good collective noun for both "confused independents" and, more relevantly, "Fianna Fail Senators"!

Any suggestions?

How about "a delusion of Fianna Fail Senators"?

A bubble of Fianna Fail Senators ?

My effort would be a 'Senile' of FF senators. The party is certainly decrepit and aged and more than a little confused in unfamiliar surroundings.

'The word "senate" comes to us, in a roundabout manner, from the Anglo-French senat which is derived from the Latin senatus which itself is a derivative of an even older term, senex (masculine; older, or wiser in age), from which we get terms such as "senior" and "senile." It seems more than appropriate that "senate" and "senile" derive from the same word.' Bring Back the Roman Senate - Associated Content from Yahoo! - associatedcontent.com

Surely "senile" is an adjective, not a noun?

Prostitution, in and of itself, is not illegal in this country. It is the activity that may occur around that which is illegal, e.g. advertising it (the websites hosting these adds are based abroad), forming or running a brothel, pimping and so on.

Didn't the bill make it illegal to buy sex but okay to sell sex - or something to that effect?

Its good to see some common sense in the Seanad. We shouldn't be ignoring the problem like they do in Sweden

I m just shocked its coming from Mary White

I could be wrong, but I believe that, as yet, there is no such bill. I think that this was a motion calling for such a law.

And for the record, I would oppose such a law.

An entitlement of FF parliamentarians. wasn't this the woman who barged to the front of the queue down at the passport office

Usually, yes, ...

In fairness to White, she is just calling for a debate on the issue.

Shows how messed up the whip system is that you can be booted for such a crime (though apparently no tax clearance cert, dodgy winning and giving jobs to your mates and appearing drunk on radio is fine)

Appearing anything on radio would be quite an achievement!

Okay - sounding drunk. Pedant.
