Anyone able to read what he done wrote?
Try giving our Prez a break. Some of the most outrageous war criminals in history have been eulogised in the not too distant past. If a lucky bomb landed on Basher Al Assad tomorrow, we might have a national day of mourning. Bit of proportion please.
PS on another note, our Government are urging a drugs Company to “put people before profit”. Does anyone else notice something radically wrong with this statement??
Chill yer boots boss, as I said earlier, I forgive MDH his eulogy of Castro and have moved on.
But… I can’t read the above mesaage he has written and am just curious.
MDH rules OK !
You admit then he eulogised the monster,
Congratulations, you passed your reading exam.
Whereas you confirm to the stereotype of “The Irish; a great nation of writers. Not a great nation of readers.”
You hung yourself.
That cute jesuit president signed off on water charges need I remind you
This Jesuit thing is new. Explain.

I don’t follow links
You don’t want to follow them Harry… Robinson, Mary Mac and MDH are all high oath jesuits
That would be an ecumenical matter.
….put a sock in that argument, it’s been done, and knocked.
Jesuit or Jesuitical?
I think it was written on behalf of the good people of Ireland. So only us socialists.
So socialism is for a select group, not surprised that it’s ‘exclusive’…. someone has to earn the money they spend :)
that particular hat does not suit you clamps, unless you were dressing up like human/steve/jake38 for the craic like.
…a little bit of sarcasm never hurt no one
@Clampers – many of your recent posts intrigue me: I think you’re ready to embrace the Dark Side.
More that I be annoyed with the lefts’ lies, than siding with the rights’ protestations :/
It says, “A chara Aodhán, does “plamás” take an Módh Coineallach, LDT?”
+ 2 * n
is it not a verse from ‘viva la quince brigada’?
“Michael D Higgins
Uachtarán na hÉireann
President of Ireland
On behalf of the people of Ireland to express their sympathy to the people of Cuba on the passing of former Head of State Fidel Castro Ruz. Con la sympatica de la ??”
(With sympathy from the ?? – even with fierce squinting I can’t make out that last word.)
“pais”, I think
his partner looks very uncomfortable.
His partner is in the picture?
This contrived fake “outrage” is getting tiresome. RIP Fidel.
disagreed, Castro was a filthy agitator who did nothing for his country
Ah, big fan of Guantanamo Bay and all that goes with it, Jusayinlike? Right so, now we know what we’re dealing with.
And you arrived at that conclusion how?
nothing? a world leader in health care? near-elimination of illiteracy? nothing?
In fairness, those counter-revolutionary traitors* that didn’t end up in a shallow grave were able to keep that world-class health system ticking along nicely.
*gays, Christians, dissenters – take your pick
Didn’t have much choice did they? Hardly time for anyone to get their hair done and be Rhona O’Mahoney when a firing squad is your motivator.
give me the Blackrock Clinic private anyway
How can you say that? This is DeV/Hitler all over again! The World’s media will be informing their mobs and an international day of pointing at Ireland and muttering will be organised. At this very moment Trump is dancing a merry jig at losing his title of most hated head of state. Woe! and probably Ochón!
