Itās a left field move appointing a Junior Minister from the ranks of the Seanad and I canāt imagine it will go down too well with the Green Party TDās that she has leapfrogged.
Canāt recall any instances of a Senator appointed as a Junior Minister. There is a constitutional provision within Article 28 which allows for a Senator to be appointed as a Minister but thatās only ever been availed of twice, I think.
Huh?
A working-class Taoiseach isnāt even enough for the permanently oppressed

One was UCD professor and great guy Jim Dooge. He was Garrett Fitzgeraldās best mate so his wife encouraged him to appoint him so heād stay out of Foreign Affairs business as Taoiseach.
Iād rather have OāBrien going up against OāBroin than Murphy. Himself and Cowen are loudmouth bulldogs but there is a place for that.
Transport should be a great gig for the Greens. They just need to be careful not to get sucked into a National Childrenās Hospital like cost overrun issue which is almost certain on any large infrastructure project.
The privately educated Shinners donāt know which way to turn

Whoās working class? Are you saying heās not a wanker?
Yes, Scouser Professor James Doogue in 1981 and Devās Old comrade in arms Sean Moylan was appointed Minister for Agriculture in 1957 after losing his seat in the General Election. Moylan would have around 70 at that stage and died suddenly from a heart attack a few months later.
Barry Cowen on newstalk there saying that bad management of the country by FF and FG is forgotten now that they are all friends
OāDonoghue destroyed the country, Breatnach and Zappone were one term TDs, apart from being a self serving cunt and an apparatchik Boland achieved nothing of note. Browne is fondly remembered by a certain coterie but achieved little in reality. Dukes probably the pick of the bunch, so hardly a stellar bunch.

Iām just back kid. I was hoping to burn a few bits but itās a bit damp. I might just have to go out again after the dinner and find somewhere to get rid of a few bits and pieces.
I have a mattress and other a few other bits to get rid off. Will find somewhere around malahide to leave it.
Yerra just leave it outside. Iāll pick it up during the week. Iām up that direction anyway.
