    As if young people would be any better. We need competent people, regardless of age.

    I second that. Sure look what happened when younger politicians got in to power in Georgia.

    Brian Lenihan is not just embarrassing to have in government but he is an absolute fool. He looks like something that escaped from the mad house with them big hideous eyes like a monkey :D

    If you don't have an MA in you're chosen brief (Health, Finance) you shouldn't be ministers.

    At LEAST a Masters in a political subject, age is of no consequence.

    Is anybody of the same opinion as me. I think richard bruton and joan burton done terriable jobs tonight trying to fight back against the goverment.

    I really think Richard Bruton sounded like a spoilt child

    and joan burton sounded like someone in a school yard trying to overspeak everyone

    I'm just guessing but I'd assume that Fine Gael has the youngest group of TD's. Brian Hayes and Leo Varadkar are just two politicians that spring to mind as having many years ahead of them.

    I agree they have. Or at least they have the youngest at the coal face. I am not a fan of leo's but brien is very good
