He told us to hold off on paying twice for water and he was dead fucking right.
Like a stopped clock so
Not getting into covid but he passed and moaned about the consequences of the policies he wanted.
But was happy to pay his water charges in Brussels 
Yeah but we pay for it through general taxation whereas all of the progressive European countries who have water charges and far far better water infrastructure than us don’t so it’s ok for them to do it

I’m sure the money collected for water in Brussels goes towards the upkeep of the water infrastructure there. If not then I’m sure Paul will be of great help to the local anti corruption activists.
Independents and small party politics used to have to deliver for their constituency, not these days. A social media profile works wonders.

Ming, Mick Wallace, RBB (though he has a local rep), Clare Daly etc
Much of south Kerry is hugely disadvantaged . It was the same principle . Tony didn’t include disadvantaged swarhes of Limerick , Cork or Waterford in his deal . Btw I have no problem with what TG did
To be fair to Joe Higgins he saw through Daly
A decent man was Joe

Roads versus heroine deaths?
You’d be deluded to think that the Healy-Reas genuinely care about anything other than themselves.

It’s different though.
