Well that was unnecessarily dramatic. Shane Ross appeared to have accidentally voted against his own Road Traffic Bill (drink driving limits) – a row ensued as Mattie McGrath tried to stop him correcting it. If the bill’s proponent voted against it, arguably the bill could lapse

Uh-oh.

Ross might have asked Danny Healy Rae to overlay the errant red dot with his errant green ones..

That’s about the intelligence of our representatives
the radical centre:
what do we want?

when do we want it?
in due course!

The eight opponents: Michael Collins, Clare Daly, Michael Fitzmaurice, Danny and Michael Healy-Rae, Michael Lowry, Mattie McGrath, Mick Wallace. Noel Grealish was also due to oppose but his vote was paired.
why are Clare Daly and Mick Wallace against this?
Well, Mick is the proprietor of a licensed premises or two, and where Mick goes, Clare follows.
clare was also the victim of ‘hot whiskeygate’
Michael Healy – Rae was very angry today at Leaders questions and was very frustrated with Shane Ross.
Apparently he wants 100 speed limit reduced on Kerry road and recently a young woman was killed there. There is a church at one side of the road…..graveyard is opposite so a nightmare to cross with speeding cars at funerals.
But what have the council put up somewhere along the road? A pedestrian crossing for BLIND people. You couldn’t make it up , could you.
Cool story.
‘cool story’ (including ‘cool story, bro’), ‘you sound like great fun’ and ‘I bet you’re great craic at parties’ were banned as permitted responses in september 2015
Also, anything to do with the Darwin Awards.
tl;dr
st;fu
Cool story, bra is permitted because it’s utts hilaires.
Pedestrian crossings can of course be for blind folk, tactile paving, audible beacon, crossing direction and lane indication on the button box.
First of all, I’m colour blind. I cannot see any red dot. This has happened to other TDs over the years. When will people who design traffic lights, yes/no or on/off buttons and such like come up with a better system than red/green? The most common form of colour blindness is red/green. And no, I am not a Ross fan.
It’s like the weather forecasts. Status Green, Orange and Red. Near enough anyway. And you can’t depend on those colours either.
the red light is the one at the top. the green one is at the bottom.
don’t thank me man, i’m just glad to help.
