    Role Models ? Anything But !

    surely this country has far better to offer in the form of role models, other than the following ffer's:
    bertie;
    mansergh;
    bev;
    harris;
    the dancing costume-dressed defrocked lunatic priest;
    do the other parties possess similar characters?

    When I worked in Argos, I met a 11-year-old girl who bought a guitar so
    she could be like her heroine Gemma Hayes. We do have admirable folk to
    look up to.

    Our political system is not one to produce or encourage statesmen or admirable people. They do sneak through from time to time, though. Dev, Lemass and others can be well regarded for the job they did, on balance.

    De Valera stole public money to start his family business.

    I always think that people who want role models are lacking in something themselves. Have your own virtues and attributes and you shouldn't need role models
