Sinn Féin TD Mary Lou McDonald last night
A Deputy called Mary Lou,
Wouldn’t leave when the chair asked her to,
Remaining quite calm,
She threw toys from her pram,
‘Till the rest of the chamber withdrew.

What Mary Lou did to pass the time in the Dáil yesterday…. she sang a song…. please note, this is pure speculation based on something I pulled out of my ar…..
Oompa Loompa Deputies too
I’m going to sit here an hour or two
Moany Joany answer me this
What will I do when I need to take a piss
1 hour, 2 hour, 3 hour, 4
I can’t hold any longer I might wet the Dáil floor
Oompa Loompa Deputies too
“I will pay my water charges” said Mary Lou
Hippo critical, swimming in politico double speak
That last line was incredibly weak….
:D
You’re on a roll Clamps. Is it just a coincidence that Oompa Loompas and certain deputies are fond of the old fake tan. Watch out, there’s Anne coming your direction with a cattle prod. Though why she doesn’t have a cattle fenian as well in the interests of crosscommunity I don’t know. Maybe the community is cross enough already.
I think the community, the nation, is jaded at this point :)
In fairness, it was the canna cola wot had a hissy fit, not Mary Low who threw the toys out of the pram. Seems to have a bee in his bonnet for SF deputies. I know I would in his position. Shudda asked de tawnishta to sling her hook for refusing to answer the question. Still, great limerick, as ever.
I had a teacher just like the canna cola that also was unable to discipline.
I was a teacher like the canna cola. “Get out!” Unhappy days.
John cop on t’yerself
Last week you put your whooping for the GOP land slide into the public domain, and today you have Mary Lou throwing toys.
Now we know the origin of the ABMs etc
You’re a fraud
Bit harsh. Not easy to get the right thinking views into to a five line AABBA rhyming scheme with seven syllables in the A lines and five in the B lines.
More bullshittery
Afaic, Moynes True colours can’t be disguised with Trinity’speak
Translation?
The “can of cola” trew his toys out of the pram, not ML. I know its hard but try and keep up Mr Poet.
Time for a limerick-off I’m thinking. Let’s see yer rhymes, Gers!
it’s A Rick Off. Now, this’ll be a straight rick-off, old school rules. Keep the rhyming clean and the metre lively..let’s go to work.
I don’t pretend to be a poet so no. Was merely pointing out the actual meaning was wrong (imo anyway!) *threw
Not being a poet didn’t stop Moynes from composing something though.
*Only joking, John.
Mary Lou stayed in the chamber
Because Joan said it pained her
To here woes
Of ordinary Joes
As Barrett barred the Sinn Feiner
Great start MR. Who can top that?
I can..
Ahem,
Mary Lou stayed in the chamber
Because Joan said it pained her
To hear woes
Of ordinary Joes
As Barrett barred the Sinn Feiner
sorry :)
So you should be )- [
Now the honest versions….
Mary and Gerry made a plan,
To point the finger at poor Joanne,
She was sent to the bin,
So dug her heals in,
To get votes for the Northern man.
Not a Limerick but…. :)
Mary and Joan went toe-to-toe
To fetch a pail of water.
Mary sat down and pulled a frown,
And Joan nearly hit the rafter
Up Mary got, after 4hrs on the trot,
As fast as she could caper;
To old Mr Barret, who suspended the lot
’til Tuesday, he’ll sort this out later
Then Gery came in, and he did grin,
To see Mary cross-legged needing a pisser;
Her orange complexion, now red with retention,
Holding more water than IWs best intentions
Orange blossom weeps
for prune does not acquiesce
only our bowels move
Hi! You!
Haiku
Is a different genre altogether that I can’t quite master.
“And I know Tánaiste that the House is sitting on Friday, I understand that there will be a vote on Friday, I wonder to myself and there is some speculation that there might be emergency legislation presented on Friday, perhaps to allow for these very things.”
Just sayng.
F*** off, John.
This class is getting out of hand.
+1,000,000 these are stupid, turgid nonsense. The sooner he gets off the dole the better.
Well you’re well-named.
I don’t know if Mary Lou got the sack
Or when she’ll be allowed back
But the one thing I do know
From watching this whole show
Is she does have a marvellous rack
Spose someone had to say it, but still.
Limericks are supposed to be dirty. It’s, like, a law.
Also, I like to be positive and that’s the most positive thing I can say about the lady.
MaryLou called their bluff
Joan refused; Barrett then took a huff
But “water charges me hole
Stay away from me dole
People can’t pay – Enough is Enough”
This just in from Joe Higgins:
Here’s our statement about what happened yesterday in the Dail
Dail suspended due to government refusal to answer questions;
Any attempt at emergency legislation to rob water charges would cause explosion
Tanaiste Joan Burton’s refusal to answer straightforward questions about whether the government will attempt to deduct water charges is either ominous or a further sign of how clueless the government is . If Labour and FG are even considering emergency legislation next week to give powers to deduct water charges from welfare and wages, they would be throwing an incendiary device into an already volatile situation.
To even think that they could get away with deducting water charges as they did with the property tax would be a fatal miscalculation of the popular mood. Hundreds of thousands of people have already taken to the streets and are actively engaged on this issue. The demand of all is for the outright scrapping of the charge. Any move by the government to harden its stance would set it on a collision course with the population.
A mass boycott of the water bills in January is now an inevitablity. The We Won’t Pay campaign is gearing up to organise that mass nonpayment.
The suspension of Deputy Mary Lou Mc Donald and of all Dail discussion today is an absolute disgrace. Ministers are meant to be obliged to answer Leader’s Questions and TDs are entitled to pursue the matter when an answer has obviously been totally evaded.
Cheers Ultach for that.
“Ministers are meant to be obliged to answer Leader’s Questions and TDs are entitled to pursue the matter when an answer has obviously been totally evaded.”

Most people seem to miss the point of this.
What’s the point in asking a question in the Dáil if it doesn’t have to be answered.
I’m surprised Joan didn’t just answer it with a lie.
