I think that people loved the way Gallagher, who operates in the construction industry, said that he had a “semi-detached” relationship with Fianna Fail.
Though people’s guilty consciences may have forced them to vote Labour, deep down they long for a half-wit of a Fianna Failer to yahoo as they’re chaired shoulder high at the count, accumulate vast personal wealth through corruption, continually lie transparently on television, mispronounce basic words on broadcast media both when drunk and not drunk, make a tit of themselves in the Galway tent, completely destroy the economy and rule them like a fucking gobshite.
Lets not be ageist here. Its only a symbolic role. I liked his rhetoric around the centennial 1916 celebrations where he didnt give a sanitised almost ashamed watered down version of what happened like many in Fine Gael did. Anybody who makes does cunts in the indo seeth is worth persevering with for another term. I expect a hatchet campaign against him from INM in their efforts to get some blonde bimbo elected.
A quick google suggest Michael D promised to wave his Pension pre election but not clear if he actually did that. He does however have a lecturers pension as well worth €30k a year which he never said he was returning.
The fucker gets paid €250k a year, plus a free gaff and an expense free life for himself and the missus, for jaunting around the World. Nothing wrong with it.
