Terry Prone - Government Ministers Drink Problem

flyton5

A few weeks ago Terry Prone wrote a piece for the Irish Examiner claiming that senior government ministers were drinking themselves into oblivion in the Dail bar almost every day of the week. Speculation led most people to believe it was Biffo and Coughlan who were the culprits. Maybe it's just me but does anyone else worry that maybe they really don't have a clue what's going on in general...never mind economy wise. Anyone for calling a general election and sticking the government in John of Gods?

K, lead the way so.

Btw, it's not them you should be worried about, direct your anger at the faceless civil servants behind them.

They are probably on Coke too.

God I hate faceless civil servants. Maybe we can find some students to occupy their offices. Two or three will do the trick.

K, less talk, more action imo.

A subscription based newsletter would be a good starting point.

Where would the proceeds go?

I'd trust an alcoholic minister more than the other bunch. I worked in a bar for 6 years and i've heard more sense from drunks than I have from the 'sober' crowd.

The world's economy has just melted.

Brian Cowen's by all accounts a smart enough bloke. He was going to be leading a small nation with a great economy, with very little that could potentially go wrong. Suddenly he's seen his economy (because he was the finance minister) go south, for reasons completley beyond his control, and yet he's the one being blamed. Would it surprise ya if someone turned to drink in such situations?

I think the fact that they're drinking themselves into oblivion indicates that they do know what's happening in the economy.

So will Brian.

An old saying goes "people who like sausages and respect the laws of their country should never watch either being made"

Best just ignore the Dáil, bar included, and hope for the best imho...

Alternatively, let's encourage the non-voting majority (a decent proportion of whom of whom are ages 18 to 28) to get off their arses next election time to make some changes...

Register to vote people! and actually turn up at the booth on election day.

They drink nothing but cold water and tea, they'd still be gob****es.

Mind you, the Dail bar is probably the last place with any atmo, by the sounds of it.....probably dog rough though

Isn't it the Minister for Health who is supposed to be hitting the bottle fairly heavily?

Agree with the windbag comment, she suits the idiot who presents Drivetime down to the ground.
Who are Prone's sons?

I've heard that Terry is Prone to mild bouts of hysteria and depression after having to delete 26 Yore Ma posts before breakfast.

What's the difference between a condom and the Dáil bar?

You can only get one prick into a condom.

It's true.

I honestly thought this thread was about government ministers being prone to actions similar to mine. Vanity rules.
