Jackie Healy Rae
Welcome to last February, mate. We’re going to win the league. Oh, and give us a shout for a pint when I’m in Sydney in a few months time by the way.
yay
The people of SOUTH Kerry will be gutted.
Jackie would have been on a nice pension after a few terms in the Dail. The tax payer will make a saving on the back of his sad passing. RIP.
He mugged off Bertie when he propped up that Fianna Fáil Government that time.
Jackie Healy Rae was some operator.
The only comparrison i can make to him is Mayor Daly of Chicago. He ran something similar to the infamous Chicago machine in South Kerry.
Jobs for supporters, shortcuts for supporters, grants for the local area. The man knew what the people wanted and gave it to them.
He success was admirable in it’s own way. It’s neither his fault nor his constituents fault that the system allowed him to manipulate it to his end.
That thick cunt from the country thing he did hid a fairly cunning man behind it.
Lowry is the same, anyone who asks how the people can re elect these two, have never seen their machine in operation.
Healy Rae was one of the finest politicians the country ever produced, up there with Charlie Haughey.
Jackie Healy-Rae. The modern embodiment of John B. Keane’s Tull McAdoo.
he played the roaster brilliantly, as cute as a fox, some operator
Fucking hell, some fuckwit posted it on FB and I took it off that, my bad. You didn’t win the league Sidney?
There’ll be some session in Kilgarven today for Healy Raes Funeral. They waked him in their Pub over the weekend 
They never miss a trick.
There was a picture on Social Media of the queue to get in, if anyone is familiar with the area, you could barely see the front door from midway in the queue 
Mandy Rice-Davies
Go way you old bollox.
Who be she?
I despair for the youth of today…
That we don’t know our british politics or cricket captains? Jog on ,mate.
Now that you mention it, Alistair Cook was sacked as England one day cricket captain today. To be replaced most likely by Ireland’s Eoin Morgan.
