Um.
A leaflet purportedly from Cork West TD and junior health minister Jim Daly.
Is this even legal?
Thanks Jack

Sure we’re all waiting for cataracts Jim. I heard they’re great craic..
Welcome to Ireland Jack, will you be staying long?
I’ve just rang
and made an appointment
I just sent that to me Da!
It’s an affectation saying Da. I actually refer to him as the aul’ paterfamilias/Sir.
In Cork
tis de’ oul’fella
D’aul’man, I would’ve thought. Fella refers to one’s mickey.
Though maybe that’s just me.
I’m overthinking it and getting confused now.
That’s right too
It was in me head to post oul’ fella in follow up but was out with the dog at the time
Why pretend?
Joan Burton first interview (apparent my) re jobstown on TodaySOR now….
* run the whining up to 11 *
…^apparently
Don’t encourage them – listen to classical music instead. Or jazz.
in fairness – court or no court ruling …she was harassed and intimidated.
what happened that day was a disgrace
that isn’t protest.
for context
I was on many anti-water protests but the behaviour that day was one of scum
Were you present at the Jobstown protest?
you posted the same lines on the Journal today… so
you can sling your hook back over there snowey
Another YFG troll bot
You were on none of the anti water protests. You might have been “at” some wearing a body camera.
You, sir, are a fool
Brilliant headline, well done :)
I don’t get it.
*sad face*
Read it aloud in your best Cork accent.
Heeeeeeee heeeeeeeeeee!
Now I get it. I’m a NAWFUL dope.
No You Are Not.
I can’t do a Cork accent…. *sad face*
Is it meant to mean he fixed the ride?
I feel like that would be more of a Dublin accent
He fixed the road. It doesn’t really work in a Cork accent either but sure Brother Barnabas is a trier if nothing else.
everything works in a cork accent
It does in its BOTTY.
Recently, a very nice Dublin lady told me “you’d never guess you were from Cork” like it was some class of a compliment! The cheek!
It can be confusing, though.
Once you lot have been here for more than a couple of years, you tend to start copying our mannerisms and dressing like us. It’s only when there’s drink taken or during dinner that it all goes to fupp.
We Cork up ya mean Brudder
sur I know
tis at the matches for me
days after and I’d still sound like the raffle ticket seller in the Parochial Hall
Weirdly, I get posher when drunk. No, not posher: D4. Which isn’t posh, just bullpoop. Very embarrassing when out with my Cork mates.
only teasing, frillz. i love cork.
well give us a big C so
ya big C ya
CORRRRRRRKKKKKKKKK
Is this Cork Dublin stuff the most tedious exchange ever on Broadsheet?
Probably.
BE IT KNOWN
It sure is. But you can use your scrolling finger, dearie.
Top 5 at best
Aha, now I see it too. A Healy Rae association. He fixed the…..
you goitre be kiddin me!
bravo indeed…headline had me laughing
Indeed, bravo, great headline, take the rest of the day off Bodger, its not going to get better than this.
Yep.
Peak headline alight.
You’ve done well Bodger.
Tut-tut.
Bravo, BS. One of the best ever.
they have form with this
Maria Bailey for example always spending your money on this kind of electioneering dressed up as community. muck
Genuine Question – are they legal?
Definitely illegal – there’s no disclaimer in small print at the bottom saying “calls cost 99¢ per minute excluding v.a.t.” and the rest.
As far as I can tell, there are only three logical outcomes from calling Jim’s hotline:
a) Jim will increase the total capacity of the HSE to carry out these procedures,
b) Jim will help to get your appointment bumped above someone else who was already in the queue, or
c) Jim will contact the hospital on your behalf and they will ignore him.
Fourth option. He will do the procedure himself in his constituency office. On de table.
that forehead is crying out for a bitta tagging
The spitting mickey. Always funny.
Is there any way of posting images in this comments sections folks?
Whooo-ip THE
I’m trying to spell how a spit sounds, but it’s not easy. Mainly because, as a lady, I don’t.
this might help the accent difficulties
in pure Cork
t’would be
Suuurrr didn’t ‘e fix de roooad fur us like
credit where credits due like
‘e’s verrry gooood like dat
in all fairness like
:)
‘Jim’ll Fix it’?
does this mean I can cancel my health insurance policy?
Deleted!!!
Mort ah fried !!
A TD’s clinic isn’t a medical thing, Jim. You’re not supposed to perform surgical procedures during your clinics, Jim. Dammit, Jim, you’re a politician, not a doctor.
haha
….. You were only supposed to blow the bloody bunions off!
Hmmmm
This is the same tool who claimed on his website, that given how many hours he worked per day, that he was only earning about €10 per hour. He opted not to include expenses and allowances in his calculations.
Down with the common man is our Jim.
Likely fills out forms for the Treatment Abroad scheme.
It is pathetic that TDs need to do this level of patronage and effectively administrative paperwork for people who can’t figure it out themselves. In smaller parties where there’s no risk of running two candidates they get the councillors to do it for them but in the big parties the councillor today is the running mate stabbing you in the back tomorrow so you don’t dare.
That’s exactly what it is. Inside the brochure is Q&A on the details of the scheme.
Surely the excellent Citizens Advice Bureaux could perform this service – and deprive greasy politicos of kudos for it?
