I think he looks like Cian Healy, a bit

Cross party relations didn’t work out as well for everyone seeking election as they did in Cork South West.

I don’t know anything about him but I would disagree with that assessment of him just based on his appearance on RTE there. You obviously know more of his background than me

Ireland has the best democratic system in the world.

Midshipman_Asha · February 10, 2020, 10:54pm

There is a story there, may not have helped her either

On Newsnight now, terrified of SF

Bandage · February 10, 2020, 10:55pm

Go on…

Dziekanowski · February 10, 2020, 10:55pm

I hope for Lisa’s sake it’s not a sad one. She’s not the worst.

Tank · February 10, 2020, 10:56pm

I just want to thank God. I could not have done this without him/her.

Bisto · February 10, 2020, 10:56pm

He came across very well… Posh accent was the problem for the salt o’ de earth types no doubt…

Midshipman_Asha · February 10, 2020, 10:56pm

Not sad for her

Dziekanowski · February 10, 2020, 10:56pm

Some of the international takes on this election are hilariously bad.

Midshipman_Asha · February 10, 2020, 10:56pm

No

Juhniallio · February 10, 2020, 10:57pm

He’s a poster boy for the snowflake generation. He’s a big enough name in acting and actually can draw a crowd.

the_man_himself · February 10, 2020, 10:58pm

What’s he been in?

Bandage · February 10, 2020, 10:58pm

Bríd Smith says Mary Lou has contacted Richard Boyd-Barrett and they’ll have a chat later this week.

He is besties with Alan Farrell. He is a career politician just like Simon Harris. I dont think he worked a day in his life outside of politics. Your typical council, seanad and now TD ascent in Irish politics. He has probably been one of the more vocal senators in recent years but it is all about feathering his own nest and not serving the people. He isn’t there 5 minutes and he is demanding apologies.

@Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy @Lazarus @anon61878697 @Bandage @Juhniallio @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy @Dziekanowski every other atheist marxist socialist on the board, make sure to say a little prayer of thanks before bed tonight, we have much to be thankful for and a little miracle has happened.

Julio_Geordio · February 10, 2020, 10:59pm

That’ll be nice for them, it won’t be about forming a government though.

The United leftists are at 66 I reckon. The gap is too wide.

Dziekanowski · February 10, 2020, 11:00pm

He’s not wrong though. Politics actually should be a vocation, because it’s frustrating as fuck for anybody involved and you will not get your way the vast majority of the time.
