Hopefully we are seeing the last of Wallace, Daly, and MacManus.
@honey badger: Ming looks set for another 5 years.
@9QRixo8H: 5 year holiday
@9QRixo8H: Delighted for him! A lot done, more to do!
@honey badger: it’s wonderful when horrible people get a good dose of karma
@honey badger: whereas people have inflicted a celebrity jockey, potentially also her fg running mate who failed to remotely represent farmers as she brags about, useless yes men and women like Kelly and Doherty. 4 WASTERS
@honey badger: good. the embarrassment of Carberry and Walsh possibly both getting elected will be somewhat easier to bear
@honey badger: Daly gone ,and pissing fire ,unfortunately looks like being replaced by the equally repulsive O’Riardaín…Wallace now and Vladimir can send his regrets .
@Ian , I hope the god’s are shining on Niall because nothing would make me happier than to see the greens wiped out
@K O: Don’t think he has a chance. He’s not far enough ahead after all the right wing transfers.
@K O: Why the intense ‘anti-green’ rhetoric? Which of their policies do you disagree with? And I mean ACTUAL policies, not social media sound bites.
@K O: Their support for Data Centres.
Their support for the consumer paying for the misdeeds of the producer, such as making the consumer pay for recycling of packaging.
Their support for the recent plastic bottle deposit charge, perpetuating recycling of plastics which has been shown to be a scam dreamed up by the plastics manufacturers.
…
@K O: There was a question asked.
I answered it.
The Greens support many things that are harmful to the environment, and contribute to Climate Change rather than ameliorating it.
As a result the ordinary person suffers for this, by picking up the tab, rather than the producer of these harms.
The electorate showing their strong desire for CHANGE! The top 4 in Dublin as of now are FF, FG, Green Party, and SF!
@9QRixo8H: if there was a strong desire, more of the electorate would of voted
@Terry Molloy: those who don’t should be prosecuted unless they have legitimate reasons why they didn’t vote. A certain part of Tallaght only had a 2.4% of people voting, yet they are quick enough to go out with their Irish flags telling people Ireland is full, get them out, I own you Garda, I pay your wages bs, they couldn’t be borrowed to vote.
@Alan: prosecuted for not voting? Are you taking the p.ss or what?
@Paul Gorry:
I’m not saying I agree with it but in Australia you can be prosecuted for not voting.
I’ve two kids over there at the moment pj thanks to this useless government. I’ll let them know that as they go forward.
@Paul Gorry: No need Paul, they are not allowed to vote in Australia. And I’m sure they would be still here in Ireland if they chose to be. I’ve lived in Australia and I’ll tell you it’s a lot worse over there than here to try and get by. It’s an incredibly expensive place to live. The days of emigrating to Australia for a better life is long gone.
@Paul Gorry:
I have 7 nieces and nephews (my kids in school) who emigrated.
5 are back 1 more due home next year.
@P. J.: God love them coming back to this cesspit of a country. I sincerely hope things work for them.
@Mark Murphy: well one is loving it and the other maybe not so. Yes expensive they say,but not as expensive as Ireland. Now if? And when they come back the real headache starts. I’ve only two bedrooms.
@Paul Gorry:
That’s the point Paul, they found that far away fields really were not greener.
Every country has it’s problems
@P. J.: what ye even saying pj? They’re still over there enjoying it!!
As much as I don’t like the Greens, I’d much prefer to see Cuffe go to Europe over Niall Boylan. May the gods be ever in Cuffes favour.
@aYc221Lw: Yeah, but at least he’ll be embarrassing himself here and not us at the EU parliament.
@Ian: NOPE. Dont wish Cuffe any luck at all proud middle class snob with no track record apart from climate evangelism.
@ Sean O’Dhubhghaill: You won’t get an answer to the question as to what Green policies commentators on here disagree with. They just bleat the anti-Green nonsense to fit in with the rest of the soundbite flock.
@Sun Rise: You’re one angry person. Take a chill pill and relax your kacks.
@Sun Rise: you are literally angrier than most on here….maybe log off and go watch an actual sun rise
Good man Ming! A big two f1ngers in the face of the anti-migrant arson1sts!
@Alan Kennedy: 25000 for Blighe ain’t bad
@Kelechi Ademola:
It’s 3.5%. in other words 96.5% didn’t vote for him.
That percentage will not get him elected to anything, anywhere.
Sean Kelly is a complete waste of space. The nodding dog of Europe
have your say
