This is a discussion on Is Paul Gogarty actually mad? within the Green Party forums, part of the Political Parties category on Politics.ie. It's well established he's probably the least liked deputy in the Dáil on both sides...

With a quote like this........."If somebody asked me to cook a kitten in a microwave, the thought would cross my mind. But I'm an animal-loving vegetarian, so I wouldn't do it."

That's just..........MAD

That's true, but I don't think it explains his recent behaviour. He's been like this for a long time, but its only now attracting national attention.

Having said that, Paul's behaviour in recent months has become increasingly erratic. He has spun so much with his on again, off again support for Batt O'Keefe's education cuts that he has left his electors, and I guess himself, uttterly confused at to where he actually stands on this question.
Extraordinarily, he's continuing to dig - he now has a leaflet going out in MidWest on the subject of..... Education cutbacks. Astonishing.

Mirian Lord is an excellent performer. It seems Paul Gogarty is not.

One more or less won't make a big difference.

Saying one thing and doing another is par for the TD course. That and answering a question with a bucketload of waffle.
