This morning.
Grand Canal, Dublin 2.
Cycling Senator Ivana Bacik and Labour Party colleagues celebrate her announcement as the party’s candidate for the Dublin Bay South by-election.
Not her first rodeo.
Meanwhile…
I’ve never seen a group of Irish politicians sporting more expensive & super luxury brands in a single photo in my life. Wow. JUST WOW. Normally Irish politicians try to dress down. Not these gombeens
I actually like it. There’s an honesty to it. We’re rich, you’re not. Vote us pic.twitter.com/AhKyoOLTZP

Mmm.
Preppy.
Paddy Cosgrave – from anyone else! What does this ape do all day aside from mimicking Gemma O’Doherty on Twitter? Its appears financial independence has turned him into a tiresome crank and troll. I appreciate he has grudges (which is a bit strange for an entitled Glenstal boy) but he could at least try and be subtle.
Absolute and utter dose.
What is Cosgrave’s endgame, does he plan to run at some point to show them all how it’s done properly (both the troughing and the politicking) or is he just bitter and can’t let the grudge go? People haven’t forgotten what a fleece job that summit was, he’s not so innocent himself.
Yellow Pack Musk.
Yep “own brand”
Ha!
D’ya mean it doesn’t smell like the real thing ?
hahahaha
Well, I certainly think Cosgrave has delusions of grandeur. His genius needs to be recognised. He could be laying the “groundwork” for a presidential run at which point he may regret his twitter-feed.
I don’t know what happens to some of these tech guys with success but it ain’t pretty.
He’s just another southside twit like yourself bb
Maybe find some scrotes to take a pot at , or something
Cosgrave is actually from Wicklow.
Sorry if my calling-out mindless violence upsets you.
Well, sorry not sorry.
How is he ‘tech ‘ exactly? He’s a glorified wedding planner.
In his head he is Jeff Bezos.
We are simply not worthy.
His hand delivery of facemasks at the start of the pandemic was like Cartman levels of attention seeking

Wait… Cosgrave WANTS politicians to play up, or down, to his preconceptions that they cos-play being man-on-the-street types? If they’re not all sporting designer Healy Rae flat caps are they even TRYING to pander properly?
I wonder has Paddy Cosgrave kept his Glenstal Abbey blazer? A cut above the rest. Made in Italy.
Poor paddy what a sap
duh!
“One of the more unusual findings from the Moriarty Tribunal is the revelation that in 1991 former Taoiseach Charles Haughey spent nearly £15,832 of taxpayers’ money on bespoke shirts from the French company Charvet”

What a timely and relevant anecdote about a politician who has been out of power for 30 years (and deceased for 15 of them)
obv you are not au fait with fine tailoring, pleb.
I don’t normally agree with Paddy but this is a good tweet. Politicians have become celebrities, and, in their own eyes, the elite. Take away the clothing allowances and extra benefits – they are paid well enough. Stop the photocalls. Some work might get done and they will relate to citizens better and certainly be more popular. There is a dissonance here. Remember Bruton’s ‘summer abs’ shot. We are in Dublin here, not Hollywood.
Bacik has a bigger bank than the lot them and she’s “Labour”,what’s Kelly’s sleazy bro up to these days in Irl ?

Lol but this is the same Paddy Cosgrave who refused to hire any Irish person who did not have a degree from Trinity.
Trinners is for winners not Shinners.
How he has rebranded
What a goon Cosgrove is. I’m not sure I could name any “luxury brands” in the photo? – [The bag maybe – I don’t really know]. The clothes may be “Sunday best” but they could still all be from Dunnes Stores.
Piss off Paddy.
100%
‘Luxury brands’ – they literally look like an M&S advert.
Haha! Totally.
I just don’t know how he can tell. I mean, if they wore Penny’s finest, he’d be off attacking them for exploiting children in Bangladesh.
Which is rich (heh x 3) from the fellah that tried this schtick… https://sifted.eu/articles/web-summit-850-sweater/
+1 I’d love to hear Paddy’s analysis of their clothing.
The hand bag is the only obvious thing to me. The lads shirts could easily be M&S.
aw it would be great to have a Labour Party that were actually socialist, and not just semi-socialist until they get in power and turn full Neo-liberal.
I have little interest in Paddy , but he is annoying people I don’t like one bit, and Im all for that …
*cough*

The geek as rugged fisherman.
The original and best.

Paddy is correct on this one.
The sense of entitlement is palpable.
The headline is great! Ha ha!
none of this matters
there’s no battle here
just a faux one for bored barely tasked politico journos to write up some pointless drivel for newsfill
the tool will win the seat because Fine Gael
they could pick Fr Brendan Smyth and they’d still win it
end of
Irish politics is just so depressing. Nothing really important changes (cost of living, housing, healthcare). I think if the entire working population went on regular strikes like in other EU countries it might make them budge and do something useful. They are complaining that businesses can’t find enough staff after lockdowns and PPE, so keep the momentum going, use it as leverage against a Gov’t that always sits on its hands. They do nothing for Irish people, emigration continues year after year.
Ivana be your td
I vanna bacik her but she rides a blue bike and the poster has a red one
Feck off Paddy.
What’s wrong with smart casual and people caring about their appearance?
Better than your techy plebs slobbing around in tracksuits tee-shirts and trainers…
