Robert Troy Gombeen

[flavirostris]

The Week in Politics just featured a clip of Robert Troy FF TD for Longford-Westmeath literally frothing at the mouth in the Dáil. He was responding to government accusations of FF having hiked up social welfare in order to buy elections ( the correct analysis ).

Troy screamed that "we did it because we have a strong social conscience and I'm tired as a member of Fianna Fáil of being looked down on like something you'd step on in the street"

Incredible gombeenism from Troy but he was stoutly defended by Niall Collins TD in the studio.

Collins is another gombeen. Can't belive he has the neck to say the things he does.

The 3 new FF TDs (Troy, McConologue, Barry Cowen) have kept very quiet so far.
Barry Cowen is damned by his name to be kept in the background.
The other two TDs and several new senators (e.g Averil Power) may be wheeled out on the basis that they have no association with the past.
If they are now ready, this may be the start of something regular.

They're like squealing pigs. Any FFer is scum in my opinion.

[Warrior of Destiny]

So he's a gombeen how?

Wait until Budget Day . . . FF wailing on the opposition benches on behalf of the Irish people. . .The noble hypocritical bastards.

Collins is the worst of the lot. It almost ruined my election to see him get in.

I am FF. Would you mind telling me who you voted for in last three general elections ?

So he's a gombeen how?

He's sick and tired of FF being accused of boying elections- Never heard of things like Meehaul Matin's free medical cards for over 70s that included likes of Sir AJ Reilly, how much is social welfare here compared to across the border. Wonder how this this little Republica become a haven for hores who came to our shores. Troy you must remember is Mama O Rourke's/ Donie Cassidy's replacement, what a love child.
FF under mighty mouse Seamus Brennan in social welfare extended free travel to millionaires over 66 at peak times and unrestricted.

By the way useless McCullough asked Bruton and Joe Higgins about payment to bondholders, but never gave Niall Collins the chance of making an ass of himself. in saying he probably opposed it after FFers signing up to it. Shambles of a programme.

I am FF.

Yes you are.
