I’d say the same myself. Not sure it’s enough to excuse Andy though. These rumours have followed him for years and they aren’t going anywhere.

They should have got those “paedo hunters” off YouTube to follow him into the Palace calling him a nonce whilst informing him the police are on the way.

It’s the UK which has voter to leave the EU and not just the English.
And the Royal Family plays no part in ruling the country in much the same way as Micky D wields no power in Dublin.
But at least you’re right about the Tories if the current opinion polls are to be believed.
Are you still in second level education by any chance because if you are I’d ask for your money back.

NI voted remain as did Scotland, Wales voted leave but is that really a country?
Bud Flanagan
Wales is a constituent part of the United Kingdom as are England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Is this difficult for you to understand ?
The ignorance is strong on here today. It’s almost as if the carers of the mentally deficient of Ireland are all having the same day off.

My third level education is paying the bills, thanks. When I said “England”, I meant England. They are the ones that want to leave the EU and are happy to be ruled by the Royal family and Tories. The rest of the UK have a different view. Last time I looked, the Queen was on every piece of UK currency. She is the head of state.
I’d be very surprised if she does anything of the sort
Even if it succeeded she’d be a spent docket
We definitely haven’t seen or heard the last of her
I can’t see her running as an Independent
But I wouldn’t be at all surprised for herself and Renua to be a rumour

or go do some conniving lobbying gig work for a while then make a return in the next GE +1 when the burghers of DLR have all long forgotten & because, like, she’s a grand lassie & didn’t the da do great things for Cuala etcetera

…FG in DunLaoghaire and Dublin Bay South run a private polling system that has proved highly accurate over the years…it has allowed them to maximise their vote in the area to the extent that they bucked the trend in the last election and increased the FG vote…Bailey will have lost access to this data but knows that any chance she has of being elected depends on having the FG endorsement…but then…
In fairness Bisto
The FF and FG and more lately and in some key seats, the Shinners, have election machines across Dáil constituencies
Especially the more traditional and established constituencies ( ones that haven’t merged or had a changing demographic profile)
Or a Healy Rae
Always have spot on polling info
Those parties know it’s all about getting that vote that they know is theirs out on the day
So it’s not in their interests to be canvassing a vote they know isn’t going for them
And it explains the general sharing of data that’s not sensitive, like in a close run competitive seat
That’s where lads might get b1tchy with each other
Overall tho’
You’ll find more shenanigans between candidates on the same ticket than anything else
If Maria Bailey doesn’t return to the Dáil after the next GE
And decides the Seanad is her next move, she’ll have to actually run
And those voters love their main party candidates
So she’ll be in with a shout
Especially as I’d say there’s enough South County Dublin and off similar mind to herself eligible to vote
The Seanad is the best gig in Ireland
I voted to shaft it
But if I was offered a freebie nomination – Like Joan Freeman or James Reilly
I’d be all over it lads
Ye’d never hear the end of it

Cian
They got 3 TDs in dun laoire because Sean Barrett got in automatically as he had been Cean Caorlamh.
So there’s two FG seats there anyway
No matter who they run
Is what your saying
Cian
Not quite. There are 2 seats that FG should be able to take quite easily…. as long as they put forward half decent candidates
Unfortunately the current two are Maria Baley and Mary Mitchell O’Connor. Neither are (IMHO) near half decent. I’m presuming that Sean Barrett will retire.
So Fine Gael are running less than half decent candidates Cian?
And one of the names you provided there is a Minister
Just shows that FG HQ don’t really give a poo about actually Governing

That, or the Seanad.

The Independent doing a disservice to any readers trying to make some sense of the Trump ‘conspiracy with Russia’ saga. The charges Stone was found guilty of all stem from his false claims that he had an illicit connection with Wikileaks. None of those charges relate to Russia. That’s the key takeaway, further undermining the conspiracy theory. Shouldn’t they make that clear?

And Trump intimidating the Ambassador, what tosh! Sure, the Tweet was a willy move, (they didn’t have to read it out live to her either), they’re clutching at straws.

Dinster can afford to retain solicitors again, now that he’s getting a few billion of our tax euros to own the national broadband infrastructure on our behalf.
Story during the week about a gang of armed ‘anti fascists’ attacking a group on a Luas travelling to an anti-Islam demonstration- None of the attackees were ever even arrested but the gang were all convicted. Luas has full CCTV- I doubt if that ever even occurred to these clowns.
Now whatever your views on the demonstration, it was peaceful which is a hell of a lot more than Sharia law which is part and parcel of Islam. It says that women who commit adultery, homosexuals, apostates and anyone who criticizes Muhammed or Islam should be killed.
Online, ‘smash the fash’ slogans are accompanied by violent imagery except the word ‘fascist’ appears to be whatever they think at the time so- who is really the brown shirts?
The dichotomy of the Irish left- we hate facisim but welcome the strict ruled based Islam ideology- anyone home? Just yesterday Jeremy Corbyn‘s British Labour party revoked its open immigration policy because in their heartlands it was political suicide.
It is like the left and right have inverted- Left = boot boys and right = intellectuals. And even worse- the Left doing the government’s dirty work by slurring rural communities because they don’t want a 20% odd increase in their population overnight- LITERALLY overnight.
What the hell is going on? As a gay man these Luas thugs do not represent me or anyone I know. I make no apology for challenging Islam in Ireland because if like the UK where over half of Muslims believe homosexuality should be a criminal offence- I have every right to do so.
