give me the guy who might look like a gurrier but speaks the truth -rather that real lying gurriers in suits across the way who try to shout him down.
I didn't read anywhere that Mick Wallace canvassed the people of Wexford while wearing a suit or of promising to put one on if they voted for him.

Thanks for the link ! - - I had great fun reading the comments below the video of the 'dear leader' J Higgins speach. .. says a lot about the calibre of the brigade that follow him... scary bunch of loopers
Slow down everyone -People change, things go wrong. Just remember life goes on.
I reckon its safe to say he know less than my two year old. A brain dead tool who is a disgrace to politics.
Yes I would. Higgins is a pain in the arse and does waffle a huge amount. That is the Ceann Comhairles job though not jackasses like Bannon who was braying like a donkey in heat.
When questioned about payment to special advisers by Gerry Adams Mr Kenny gave the reply, "I do not interfere or intervene in that process" Mr Kenny had just sanctioned a raise of €3000 for an old mate as Gene Kerrigan told us. Mr Adams had to request the Toiseach to reflect on what he had just said, We heard Willie O Dea say he was disgusted at remarks the minister of finance had made, he demanded an immediate apology. Most of us expected that the new government
would at least lift the standard which was as low as at any time since the foundation of the state, Yesterday Joe Higgins raised a remark the toiseach made some years ago."It is morally wrong, unjust and unfair to tax a persons home" It was just too much for the backbenchers to see their leader humiliated so they reverted to basic instinct and tried to shout him down, We should have know that with the new government they were no different than the previous one, with power and money moral standards change.
As I have said before, the Dáil and its committees should meet outside Leinster House at least 4 times a year, and the public should be allowed to attend and ask questions.
The Dáil with its extra quiet carpetting and swing doors sucks in Irish men and women into an atmosphere of otherwordliness, deference, faux pomposity and bored heckling.
It is basically stuck in a groove. How to shake it up? It's not a panacea, but getting it out of its cosy building a few times a year would be a start.
The Oireachtas is simply a grown up version of the debating rooms the inhabitants graduate from at college and from the 'good catholic' schools.
In other words it is just a suited version of those debating rooms instead of school uniforms. It is somewhere were lawyers can practise pomposity in public and teachers can exercise the one skill that got them their seat- speaking in front of a group of people. We saw how useful the Oireachtas is in the pillars of democracy sense during the guillotining of Brian Lenihan's special powers to rob the nation of the NPRF through the chambers and the marked absence of any debate or governance practised by that institution over the arrival of the IMF and loss of national sovereignty.
The Oireachtas is just a cattle mart with all the participants on overblown salaries and expenses. It is a board game for lawyers and teachers and serves only to inflate their own egos- which should be on the floor considering where the nation has been left recently.
The voters in any democracy are never wrong. Where the voters are declared mad it is because their political class has driven them mad. They are, however, still always right.
Are people entitled to change their mind about whether something is right or wrong, I used to believe in God, now I don't, I used to believe in Santa, now I don't, I used to think that Enda Kenny was a crap leader of FG and would make a crap Taoiseach, now I don't.

Well why didn't he just say that then instead of releasing Fine Gaels animals on the backbenches?
