Ireland politics (Part 1)

Anyone who votes for Fianna Fail should be deported and their passports taken off them so they can never return. Treatystones first cunt on the boat as well.

Thought this was very interesting - RTE Radio doc about the 1987 Dublin Central election. As much as things change they say the same.

Thereā€™s some murky murky shit in this states short past.

It looks like we finally have a government

Who is rolling over?

Rather than getting rid of Irish water, it will temporarily be put into some form of state control.

FF will claim some form of victory by getting water fees suspended for a couple of years.

Seems more favourable for FG than FF. FF need to be very careful here. The parliamentary party may still push back on this issue.

I cant see this work. Eleatcion 2 here we go

I happened to be passing the home of the newly elected TD for Sligo-Leitrim there this evening and spotted himself out on the road with a strimmer. While not having voted for him I felt, after many years at the game by both of us a call was due.

I pulled up, got out and was quasi/cordially greeted. I wished him well (seriously) and enquired how he was coping with his new responsibilities. ā€œIā€™m only back from the Ɓrd FhĆ©is Boxty have you an issue/problemā€

No/No I assured him - I saw you out and just stopped to congratulate you and wish you well - youā€™re wearing the county jersey now for us all (swallowing my spit as I uttered the words)

A mug of tae was offered and accepted. I praised the garden and the shrubbery before he revealed the ensuing and added workload attaching to a rural TD. (Boxty was well clued into this scenario having been there for 25 years)

He showed me what might have been a dining-room now bestrewn with files-----all accumulated in the past 3/4 weeks.
Iā€™d have 5/6 cases a week beforehand itā€™s now 5/6 a dayā€¦
No secretary approved as yetā€”Chaoticā€¦

Meanwhile, 10 mins away, on the same spin, I encountered our local Councillor. He was in his Chief Wiggum mode - perched behind a brandy and a pint and he, with a happy countenance informed me that ā€œHeā€™ll have to produce to houā€™l the seatā€

Jaysus boxty but I love your posts.

Were you a TD?

I was in my hole but I was what youā€™d say the ā€œman on the groundā€ despised by many on here. A parishioner of mine has been in the Oireachtas for a quarter of a century - you canā€™t be everywhere, footsoldiers are the lifeblood of rural TDā€™s.

Cue dogā€™s abuse but there isnā€™t/wasnā€™t a pothole in Leitrim that I havenā€™t heard about.

How do you think extensions/holiday villas/swimming pools get planning permission up against lakes and rivers FFS.

Only one long serving TD for leitrim comes to mind

Did Leo but the wind up those Fianna Fail cunts today?

Some bearded Geezer on now revealing confidential communications with Leo.

Leo is a smug cunt

Smug and occasionally throws a few grenades. Better than smug and thick like many of his colleagues.

Heā€™ll eventually be blueshirt No1

All them grenades are fully sanctioned at present Iā€™d imagine. Heā€™s the dog FG can let bark publicly about anything.

So youā€™re a priest?
