She’s another one of the Bourke’s from Mayo.
Another misogynist about to get handbagged to death here…

The only time I ever saw Mary Robinson she was on Nassau Street leaving her Climate Justice office. She crossed the street and jay-walked outrageously on the way. Complete hypocrite.
Admirable disrespect by the former President for motorised traffic. Reclaiming the streets.
Our greatest ever female of the species is actually grieving for a planet. Someone should probably console the daft bint and tell her that the planet will outlive all of us, especially her.
How the fuck do people get so worked up without ever asking a coherent question, showing an ounce of sceptism or taking any responsibility for knowing what the fuck they’re talking about. “But the vast majority of scientists say…” they’ll cry…ask the dopes to name a scientist and they’ll go for greta or that attenborough fella. I genuinely don’t understand the mindset that just buys into whatever preposterousness thats thrown at their feet.

You needn’t worry, you don’t live on it.
President-types from Ballina are bad news.
I doubt either would see her as a politician either
Achievements? Flesh that out a bit…
- Bono-esque plámásing at the Irish Taxpayer’s expense inadmissible.
(For context, I see the Irish presidency as a token appointment… look at the list of recent election candidates for reference. One step up from paddywhackery. Being ferried around the country to bridge halls, knitting conventions and orange lodges, costing us a small fortune, pretending to be ‘the queen’… No. A nonsense)

Bully for you. List out the achievements when you’re ready.
She seems a decent sort, no doubt about that.

Good shout.
Ryan Tubs. He had a meltdown on Twitter and had to leave it.
What was this?
This thread is in very poor taste… What will casual lurkers think?

The ex assistant garda commissioner came across well I thought (“we don’t be wanting lorries and diggers driving up through the gates”)
