Drunk On Power

“Firstly let me say I have no allegiance to any political party, but do support hard working politicians and I do believe that there are great public representatives in all parties. However, I was extremely annoyed when this came through my friend’s door.

Firstly, I have spoken to this politician twice in my life, secondly to claim that he is responsible for creating jobs in our business is a disgrace.

And third, it shows how little he knows our business, as Rye River has moved from Kilcock to Celbridge where we have announced 150 new jobs on top of the 50 we already created.

Our team at Rye River have worked bloody hard and taken huge personal risks with plenty of sleepless nights to create those jobs. Mr Lawlor, you have just lost any chance of any vote from me, because if you’re claiming this, what else can I not believe on your leaflet.”

Niall Phelan, of Rye River Brewing discussing a leaflet from Fine Gael candidate and TD Anthony Lawlor, above.

    This parish pumpy crap pales markedly when you consider he’s in the same constituency as Cath Murphy – a real legislator / representative.

    none of those idiotic boasts are anything to do with what he’s actually being paid to do.a national list system is badly needed .

    Didn’t FG “create” the economy that possibly allowed the creation of said jobs?

    Ergo yer man did? kind of…

    at a stretch…

      The duty reduction that made craft brewing more viable was actually Biffo, its that long ago – although the extra 50% in capacity allowed which Rye River are probably close to if not already in to was Noonan two years ago.

      The building they were in in Kilcock was derelict from the 1990s so you could possibly claim Reynolds created the environment!

      Hang on, haven’t they spent three of the last five years telling us how they were only doing as they were told?

    He may argue that the government created the environment that enabled job creation.
    I don’t think so myself, but it’s an argument he may try to advance.

    Don’t judge this poor man on his affiliation to Fine Gael.
    -You’re probably thinking of his father, or his uncle, or his friend…

    For all you know he’s probably done absolutely nothing.

    The principle function of the canals ???
    A navigation
    Yet they are weed choked ditches, unsuitable for boats
    Yes the towpaths make wonderful walks
    Can we please have a navigation first

      -They have wi-fi on barges now?
      I take back all my previous reservations.
      It is a truly wondrous time we live in.

      1. Tommy

        The canals and rivers are managed like the HSE
        Instead of taking doctors, nurses, cleaning staff out of Syria
        Better to suggest arm bands and swimming lessons for the poor divils

    Correct me if I’m wrong
    Part of the Good Friday Agreement was to hand over the management of ALL inland waterways to the crowd up the North—funded by the USA
    Does our National Socialist Gov claim credit for future weed cleaning

    1. sǝɯǝɯʇɐpɐq

      Correct me if I’m wrong Tommy, but they STILL have wi-fi on barges even though we made it public knowledge a few minutes ago? (ALL of the credit is yours, I’m just rimming off you.)

      It beggars belief that they’d do barges before pubs. Not a lot of politicians own barges.

    Governments don’t “create” jobs. They can create “pretend” jobs (Northern Ireland) or destroy them (Venezuela, Argentina, Ireland under FF in 1935-60, 1980-89 or 2007-2011) pretty well though.

    he looks like Ron Perlman and Will Ferrell. He’s one of ‘the boys’ down in naas, and theyll all vote for him regardless. this is the town who let super racist ex-mayor darren scully back in once the light was off him. ireland isnt a nation, its a bunch of small towns.

  10. Papi

    All I can hear is The Rubberbandits singing “My Dads best friend” when I look at him. I think it might be him and I’m scared

  11. Jim from Dublin

    God love him. It’s such a howler that as a human being I kind of feel sorry for Mr.Lawlor.
    But as he is someone looking for your vote so he can represent you! Forget it.
