@Brendan O’Brien: indeed…
If he knows maybe he should be running in this election

@Cole Palmer: Perhaps ask some of the Chelsea women’s team. Give them a laugh.

@Brendan O’Brien: 2 genders man and woman thick pants

@Jonn: Dunno what other peoples genitals have to do with it, weird thing to bring up.

@Jonn: All mammals have only 2 genders: male and female, including Humans. Of course we have effeminate men and masculine women. But yeah, just the 2 genders.

@Dave Callaghan: It’s always great to hear the opinions of experts.

@Brendan O’Brien: Thank you! Look up this butcher ‘John Money’ he was one of the first people to popularise the term ‘gender identity’ in the ’50s.

@Dave Callaghan:
Well done Dave, a buala bos and a star in your book! As for you,Brendan, you seem confused, I’ve a feeling you haven’t done your science homework again,stay back after class!

@J B: you can say anything in the seanad, that doesn’t make it true.

@Dave Callaghan: It was actually Magnus Hirshfeld, a jew in Germany in the 1920s. In 1933, The ‘Nazi Youth’ group went into his institution ‘Institut für Sexualwissenschraft’ and beat up all the employees and chanted ‘Burn Hirshfeld’ in German. A few hours later, the actual Nazis came in and burned all the books to dust. Almost all the people employed there were Jews. We have to give the Jews credit for founding transgerdism. Well done Jews. If you’re wondering what happened to Hirshfeld, he fled to Switzerland and died a few years later of a heart attack.

@Cole Palmer: And it resurfaced with the post-modernists in the French universities and moved on to the Frankfurt School which popularised ‘Critical Theory’ especially in the radical intersectionalist feminist movements in the 70s, 80s up to the present day Wokeness.

Not a brain cell between those woke clowns

@Cole Palmer: you hating on the 4x2s again ?

@Lydia Mcloughlin: No that not true, the 1995 scheme was replaced in January 2016 to the present day scheme.

@Jimmy Kiely: i know at least of one case where a family abused the ability to buy the house and it never was used as social housing since. I know of other cases where tenants sold on the house at huge profit and moved on. We need social housing to be social housing

@Simon Carr: if social housing wasn’t a lifetime benefit, it would free up homes for people who need it most. People fall on hard times and need temporary help, not a house for life. Someone whose kids are gone and finds a decent job can stay in the same house that costs minimal rent, while other people who need it have to live in hostels or wait years to access a house that would help them kickstart a stable life. It causes massive shortage and homelessness that delays the ability to get out of poverty.

@Simon Carr: it’s the old chestnut, no matter what system you come up with,they will be someone out there that will find away to abuse it. That system of giving sitting tenants the opportunity to buy worked well for decades. It gave the local authorities the chance to sell off some of the old housing stock. Less maintenance.

@Cole Palmer: ffs, what a plank

@Kevin Kerr: try a bit of ‘spacing’ in between all the comments from the obvious multi account troll…. bring in chutes & Claire powers accounts for a few replys — since the landside victory of peace in the US all your accounts gone very ‘amateurish’

@Kevin Kerr: that’s unkind to wood.

@ecrowley ecrowley: indeed, some might say offensive

@Kevin Kerr: I’ve seen cleverer plankton.

@Alex Kane: sure in his worlds he can, up you boyho.

@Kevin Kerr: I am reporting this comment to the Gardaí for online bullying and harassment.

@Brendan O’Brien: indeed, capable of supporting life for starters

@Cole Palmer: You do know you’ll have to give them your real name..? I for one, hope you do.. and it goes before the courts.. so we can see what one of the Journal trolls looks like in real life.. go on… I dare you. Show us who you really are ‘Cole’

@Brian: You’re impersonating Brian Cowen

@Cole Palmer: Awwww.. So you won’t be reporting it to the Gardai then… just a butthurt little sunflower pretending to be a hard man behind his anonymous account. Yet again, you’re a disappointment ‘Cole’. No doubt you have a lifetime of practice behind you.

@Brendan O’Brien: That would be just Gary

@Brian: did you actually think I was serious?

@Louis Jacob: When someone drew comparisons between Hamas and the IRA, he said ‘ nobody ever voted for the IRA’ ..yet he spends his days on here trying to convince people that SF is the IRA and a vote for SF is a vote for the IRA. he’s a terribly confused individual.

@H Woo:
Haha comment of the day!

@Tim Brennan: I agree that Road is badly in need of serious up grade. But sure you’re buddy Michael will get that done in his election manifesto, he’s promising everything else, with our taxes.

@Jimmy Kiely: 2011 we were on our knees coping with a now 22 year non verbal autistic young man Burton nailed us to the cross attacking carers and taking away our payment seeking nail us with water charges.Only for Michael Moynihan TD FF we would have been destroyed as a family he advocated for us we have arrived at a destination were our son is in a safe residential place and able to come home to us weekly. I’m proud to vote FF. In all elections since we have never been able to vote for him Now we are in a bloody constituency with Cork city voters However I’m voting For Ken O’ Flynn and FF. So that’s my logic and I just hope Michael Moynihan gets every vote in Cork North West he’s a truly decent politician whom Michael Martin disgustingly has never rewarded for his hard work.

@Tim Brennan: Tim again you can’t see the flaw in your thinking. We have our own water well bore hole, so we constantly pay for our domestic water and maintain it.I for one will never forget the mess FF/FG have created for the young citizens of our country, when they think €400 thousand is a affordable house price. The 14,562 people in emergency accommodation, Over 4,000 thousand children. Over €220 billion in debts to be paid by future generations. Teacher leaving the country in droves because they can’t afford the cost of housing and the high cost of living. The elderly been left sitting on chairs or on trolley in hospital’s , anything up 2 weeks waiting for an appointment to see a GP. These are the legacy’s of FF/FG. I for one won’t help to put them back in power, to screw us again.

@Jimmy Kiely: We all make our choices and thankfully our people will make the decision which if it’s not what I’d like I will respect my fellow citizens decision.
