big redWE IRISH PRIDE ourselves on being an island saturated with redheads.
This past weekend, a Redhead Convention took place in Crosshaven, with over 2,000 proud gingers gathering together for a weekend of ginger related craic.
Jack Daly from Cork and Sarah Mullins from Tralee were crowned the King and Queen of the Redheads, while the furthest travelled redhead went to Gemma Storar from New Zealand. The Reaps took home the coveted title of the largest Redhead family, bringing 3 carloads to the event all the way from Mayo.

Unfortunately, not everyone is as accepting of gingers. Some people are downright mean.
Like these people for example.

Basically self regulation and certification for politicians. Look how that’s worked out in the construction industry. The Irish Government, a cess pit of back scratching cronyism. FFG OUT
@Daniel Gilroy: Oh give it a rest
@Daniel Gilroy: So he got away with it,,, Jammy so n so ,, RTE should hire his legal team Hahaha
Oh FFS ! No laws broken, lessons learned… can this grubby, sleazy, corrupt swamp possibly get any worse ? SIPO, RTE, Inland Fisheries, Horse Racing Board, Rehab…round and round and round it goes, where it stops nobody knows. ..
@Declan Shanahan: ye forgot good aul bertie in your rant
@david finglas: I don’t want to think back to that golden era of corruption – its way too infuriating to a man of my timid persuasion…
As if anyone would ever hold anyone accountable in Ireland.
Unless they’re poor. Lol.
“We have investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing.”
Did we expect any different, just remember the big covid party the had with bankers,judges, they must have being laughing at use while they were in the 19th hole
Good. He’s one of few politicians actually qualified in his (previous) brief and competant.
@honey badger: hahahahahahaha have you considered a career in stand up ?
@Declan Shanahan: Badgers can’t stand upright and there not that funny either Hahaha
So he got away with it,,, Jammy so n so ,, RTE should hire his legal team Hahaha
Whats that thing sticking out of his neck ?
Is it a “brass neck” labell ?
@Declan Shanahan: No I haven’t. I can assess the performance of a politician and give credit wheres it’s due. He could earn a lot more outside of politics.
I’ll put it in terms you’ll understand, I’d take him in Finance over Shouty Doherty and his “civil engineer” qualifications*
* dropped out of course
@honey badger: So, if a politician actually does the job that he’s getting (over)paid to do, and does it in a moderately competent manner, then we ignore all sleaze attaching to him. Really ?
@honey badger: And don’t worry about my grasp of the English language, I’m more than smart enough to decipher any terms you can muster…
have your say
