Irish Politics Thread

Local Shinner candidate knocked to the gaff tonight. Told him I’m out of the country on voting day. Said to me that you can vote by email. Didn’t sound right to me. He called his mate over who confirmed that you can’t vote by email. Was taken aback by the lack of knowledge from a potential candidate.

Classy from the trinity mob.

Comiskey has 15 convictions including ones for failing to make a tax return, drunk driving and illegally using green diesel. This government claims they are for law and order. I guess when you're on their side there's a different set of standards.

Horseshoe theory and all that.

Is it true though? If so why not address the issue? If not, then by all means let loose.

The far left and right find strange common-ground when it suits. The EU being the most obvious example.

Thats great to know. I asked a very simple direct question or two. Either you want to anwser it or not, your prerogative obviously, I cant force you.  

Ok so it happened. Whats your thoughts on the rights/wrongs of the actual issue? By that I mean regardless of who reported it and who or what side reported it, or are joining with whom.
