Would you count David Humphreys are Irish?

Ashman · June 29, 2020, 8:00pm

As Irish as anyone

myboyblue · June 29, 2020, 8:01pm

The correct answer was

“Does he?”

Tyrone Howe also, but I refuse to acknowledge that useless bastards existence.

EstebanSexface · June 29, 2020, 8:27pm

Yeah, that’s just something we picked up during your 800 year subjugation of our own culture.

I had a bit of sympathy for Calleary at first but his bellyaching since and that of his supporters has turned me the other way. A politician with a sense of entitlement is never going to come off well.

Maybe it has been said already but no Ministers from the West. But lets say there are one or two appointed from Donegal or Mayo or Clare but they’re no good or not qualified or a token and there are capable people not in Ministries. Why not put the best people into the positions? Am I being too rational here?

the wesht had Michael ring diverting a lot of grants their way

they re pissed off thats gone

They elected a load of apes, the good people of Cork South Central saw the bigger picture

Locke · June 30, 2020, 2:06pm

When you vote here you have to chuckle at the wealth of quality that’s down in front of you. Spoilt for choice.

Juhniallio · June 30, 2020, 2:10pm

So explain to me why Norma Foley is a minister so?

Locke · June 30, 2020, 2:12pm

Who now?
Edit: looked her up. The new Minister for Education. Kerry woman, first time TD. I agree, what’s the big deal. Maybe Kerry isn’t see as the western seaboard?

Juhniallio · June 30, 2020, 2:20pm

Norma Foley.

Ashman · June 30, 2020, 2:40pm

Champ realised there was going to be still residue of civil war bitterness in Kerry . This helped break the ice

Special_Olympiakos · June 30, 2020, 2:42pm

Will you stop trying to be sensible, especially when it comes to Mick and his politics. Roodle Ireland has been shafted here apparently and that’s all that’s fit to print.

mikehunt · June 30, 2020, 2:48pm

They made a show of themselves on the news yesterday. Varadkar gave Ring a great dig about ministers who only care about their constituency being no use.

Iggy · June 30, 2020, 3:08pm

Sure his supporters weren’t even bothered about “the west” as a greater entity. It was all “Mayo should have a minister”.

mikehunt · June 30, 2020, 3:10pm

I missed that bit. One of them said 'First Covid and now this’

Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy · June 30, 2020, 3:12pm

Why didn’t they make a Minister for Covid?

I was have chosen Simon Covidney.

Juhniallio · June 30, 2020, 3:13pm

You were suggesting that FF had promoted people who were capable and it was at odds with the FF grass roots. Here’s a first time TD whose family is literally named after corruption. You can’t get more FF grassroots than that.
