Phil is unlikely to give himself the hassle of re-inventing himself as a roooral TD, the stress and strain of canvassing and kissing babies for âŹ100k odd when a gravy train like this stops in Tullaroan.
Youâd want mental when youâre getting multiples of that for your contacts book from your phone. Youâll find that Big Phil hasnât deleted any of that valuable stuff like that gimp Coveney.

Phil is a fat soup taking cunt, always was and if those idiots were foolish enough to hire him let it be on their own heads
We coulda had Phil in Europe tipping the scales in Irelands favour. Instead we have useless freaks like Wallace and Ming and Daly, whoâs probably going around running red lights while swigging from a bottle, endangering brusslers and their sprouts

We are a laughing stock in Europe since Phil left.

Weâre a small country trying to get our voice heard in Europe and we send Mick and Claire off to cosplay as Islamists and Ming off pulling the stomach off himself over Saoirse. An embarrassment.

Big Phil is a colossus, an international statesman.

That sums him up neatly. It should also be noted that he didnât whinge and moan when others schemed and plotted his political downfall. He took it on the chin, put his head down and got on with it.
Iâm sure heâs not overly concerned that some residents of his native county are insanely jealous of his most recent success. Thereâs hardly a parish in Kilkenny that hasnât seen the benefit of his long political career at all levels. Phil will be soon seen as an international behemoth, a level or two below Jeff Bezos but making waves nonetheless.

He wonât have any trouble keeping two or three households going. You wonât see him making a show of himself like Pee Flynn.

Ireland will never recover from the loss of Big Philâs immeasurable influence in Europe. First the famine and now this. We truly are a cursed country.
A giant of European Affairs.

Youâd have to say his failure to get water charges over the line is his only blemish politically.

@iron_mike is the only Kilkenny resident Iâve ever heard with a bad word to say about Big Phil. He transcends the political divide.

Itâs paramount that our Commissioner âknows how things workâ and that requires somewhat of the old school incumbent. Sending these inexperienced, computer literate lightweights is a waste of time.
The ability to battle through 10 course dinners with appropriate beverages and cement an agreement with a wink, a quick handshake and a comforting large brandy is where itâs at.
Phil was the consummate Commissioner, yet the bunch of gimps we elected pissed their collective pants and edged him out. Unforgivable really.

What has Mrs McGuinness been up to for the past year? I canât recall hearing a thing about her since the day she was appointed.
She got Financial Services. We lost the trade position.
She told Farage to piss off with himself and take his silly little flags with him. *
- Might not have been the exact terminology used.
In fairness, Kilkenny lads know their own. Iâll take your word.
I destroyed him there⌠Itâs my greatest achievement.
