Green TD Paul Gogarty flips his f*@king wig

mike65

During the Oireachtas debate and he didn't say "****" under his breath either. It was directed at Emmet Stagg.
Obviously it went out in all its Anglo-Saxon glory on the live feed, no doubt the RTE newsroom shall find an appropriate sound effect for the telly.

Dave!

Hah just heard that on Newstalk Hilarious !

He went ape sh*t

"F*CK YOU, Deputy, F*CK YOU!"

Apologised for his unparliamentary language afterwards

Could be a youtube classic.

Is he still the spokesperson on education? At least he's famous among any of the children sitting in the car on the way home now.

This government and its individuals are a farce.

What was it in response to?

He sounds well stressed. But can't hear anywhere what is was Stagg said to provoke this ? Can anyone make it out ?

declanobrennan

Stagg accused him of being insincere.

old boy

From BreakingNews.ie:

A Government TD has today launched a foul-mouthed attack on a member of the Opposition during the Dáil debate on the Social Welfare Bill.

Green TD Paul Gogarty admitted that he believes the Bill, which makes cuts in allowances to the blind and carers, is grossly unfair.

He also said the Government should have taken some money off the old age pension, rather than make cuts in the Budget for the blind.

But when Labour's Emmet Stagg accused Mr Gogarty of being insincere, he immediately launched a foul-mouthed attack on the TD.

Gogarty said: "With all due respect, in the most unparliamentarily language, f*** you Deputy Stagg! F*** you!", before immediately withdrawing and apologising for his comments.

LOL, just heard this on drivetime.. Never heard the like of it before..

Ironically, isnt making such a statement then immediately withdrawing it, insincere in itself?

themacdaddy

Haha its hilarious....I actually kind of admire it...people say these things behind other peoples back but at least he came out with it.

Trotter

I can't wait to teach my class the section about government and how it all works.

" I HEARD ONE OF THEM SAYIN F**K TEACHER!! "

What am I supposed to do then? Make the child withdraw it from the record?


Ah here.. the whole foundation of everything in this country is wrong because of the standard of people in general sitting in that Dáil chamber.

bobbyjoe

Nice one.

mike65

I think he was hoping to get thrown out so he doesn't have to vote on the budget.

Dirk Gently

anyone know what he said right after the clip cut out. he said "we are screwed as a county because of the wrong doing of .............

He had already mentioned people taking money from developers. I wonder if he went on to mention any particular party as being the reason we're screwed.

This rant was quiet possibly even more camp than the guy who laid into pat kenny the other week. good for the lulz anyway.

Zynks

"I don't like what has to be done...get the unpopularity and loose my seat because it is the only thing we can do to get this country out of this state we are in"

I kind of respect this guy much more after this realistic assessment.

DeVore

A bit more passion in the halls of power and a bit less cynicism and cronyism wouldnt be bad...


Pity the greens are finding their spine this late in the game. Far to little, far too late and yes, I imagine most if not all of them are fooked for their seats (and rightly so). If they really care about the environment, they should all resign en masse and let someone else take over the Green party... completely reset it and it might gain votes again.

Anyway, awesome-sauce on that recording!!

There's plenty of back seat politicians now alright...

It reminded me of the chap on the Frontline.. and I wouldnt put him in the Dáil either.

Sometimes flipping your wig is the appropriate response.

jimmycrackcorm

Fair play Gogarty - more of that please.

ballsymchugh

Maybe Emmet Stagg and himself had some issues going back to the phoenix park days?!!

In a few hours, no doubt half of the text messages in the country will be heralded by this soundbite.
