congrats i voted 4 u for honesty and belief in what he says, now go give em hell!

The I M F will probably pull out of ireland now when they see what we ellect to run the country !
God help us all if Luke Flanagan is the best we can do!

Tony,

Luke Flanagan is an inspirational young man who has Ireland’s best interests at heart. He is exactly what we need, someone with fresh ideas, community spirit and a desire to move forward.
I assume you voted for Fianna Failure as you sound disappointed..? If this is the case, I’m delighted for you because they are the only reason your beloved IMF are in our beautiful little country.
As an elected TD he is entitled to a €93,000 annual salary. He has pledged to donate half of his salary to his local community to aid youth projects. Name any other Irish politician who would do this without having to forcefully take it from them?

And in regard to his stance on cannabis, what would you rather?.. Taxation, regulation and a national income OR the funding of organised crime?.. You decide.
How many other TD’s are holding onto their fat cat salaries while gulping pints of porter, puffing on tobacco and dictating to everyone else what they should and should not do. It doesn’t seem to be a crime to run our country and future generations into an €80 billion debt and escape completely untouched. Yet, it’s illegal to grow a plant and smoke the leaves?.. And don’t dare compare cannabis to hard drugs because they couldn’t be farther apart. Put your stubborn old fashioned stance in the bin and have some consideration for others.

I believe that Luke Flanagan will prove out to be the Dr.Noel Browne of our generation,much harangued and misunderstood,but will be proven to be right when the history books are written.The people of Roscommon know well what they’re doing and what they’re getting by electing him.The mahatma Gandhi said one time”When you’re right,you’re right.Even if you are only a minority of one,speak you’re mind,speak your mind”
