I heard it was a bit of banter ahead of the Munster Championship that got a bit out of hand…

The transition from being a mere member of the opposition to this most serious of roles is reminiscent of the time the beleaguered Steve Staunton took the reins of the national soccer team.

Replace “I’m the gaffer now” with “Ye’re making a holy show of yourselves” and you’re on the money. This is senior hurling Verona…

Verona’s position could be tenuous here :face_with_monocle:

If the vote was carried what are the opposition so vexxed about? Do they believe it needs a larger majority? I’m obviously outraged myself but just need to back it up.

Overpaid could be crowbarred in there just before clowns…

It’s the vote on procedures (de facto speaking rights) where the three leftover goms of the Lowry group who didn’t get a junior ministry (or Ceann Comhairle role) such as Dublin Bay North’s own Barry Heneghan & Lowry himself are joining together with Mattie McGrath & someone else to form a group of five where they would be classified as part of “the opposition” & would get speaking rights to challenge the government…thus taking time off the actual opposition. Because of the numbers & the fact there is a government…I guess they were always going to win the vote per se. But it’s seems a bit perverse that Lowry’s cabal would be in government & opposition, even if it’s seemingly technically possible.

It’s not possible. It’s fucking ridiculous. I hope the opposition hold firm.

That’s a very weak looking gesture by Lowry, reminiscent of Fr. Ted Crilly’s weak “up yours” riposte to Fr. Dick Byrne’s alpha two fingers.

It’s the way a class sneak would give the two fingers.

Why are FFG at this shit? Getting into bed with crooks like Lowry and fascists like Mattie is completely unnecessary. Verona as ceann comhairle too. They are off to a shockong start and for no good reason.

Absolutely no need for it

I hope he counts his sour grapes before they hatch.

Hall’s Pictorial Weekly couldn’t have done it any better.

Terribly immature carry-on from Michael Lowry. The actions of a juvenile teenager when a young one tells him to piss off and grow up.
He’s 38 years in Dáil Éireann and should be able to conduct himself with a modicum of decorum. Gesticulating like a corner-boy at his age…
