    Would like to use my vote for the senate to make a 'statement' but considering the people on the ballot want to get in, there's no one to vote for is there?

    Why do the graduates of the NUI colleges get a Senate vote anyway?

    I see Vincent has a new regular show on Friday Nights on TV3, the 'light hearted' election specials must have been considered a success

    TV3 should go head to head with Tubs, put it on at 10, Vinny would win hands down every time

    I dont think so Poly, LLS has an audience that wont budge, not even with Tubridy in charge... They are guaranteed an audience after it though... Something to watch while boozing though....

    Linda Farren O Shea and Fiona O'Malley were on the radio earlier today talking about why they want to be in the Senate... Same with Norris and Bacik... These privileged people, who aspire to being career politicians, are lining up for 70k, 2 day a week jobs is sickening.. And Cowen appointing one of his FF buddies Dara O'Brien to the Senate is also sickening... Nothing has changed..

    Reform will only happen when.

    The number of Minister are reduced to at most 10.
    Expenses are taken away from all Members of the Oireachtas.
    The pay given to all Ministers are reduce to that of TDs
    TDs see a significant reduction in their wages (60,000 I am being generous)
    Senators are given only 20,000 (which is more than enough) for their positions

    Prime Time were discussing those bank bonuses that were "mistakenly" given by Bank Of Ireland, and the report in to the Department Of Finance.... I guess Vinny will be discussing the same?

    Bland panel for another bland show. Hopefully Lab and FG hurry up and form a Govt so we can get some of the big names back on. This is just depressingly bad.:rolleyes:

    Not entirely sure, might be to balance out the token unionist vote that TCD was in 1937, might have been a token attempt at establishing a second house to give a veneer of a republic to the state. DeV was a mad bastard really.

    yer wan on newstalk gave a half arsed explanation of how it's meant to work. there's 7 vocational groups or so in the seanad. labour, arts & culture and the like. the members of the seanad are elected by people who are in these vocations, which are third level grads, members of unions, councillors. excuse me if i'm rehashing her crappy explanation in a really bad way!

    as the presenter on newstalk said, it's like a bunch of lion tamers calling for a lion tamer to be a member of parliament.

    There's probably a loose schedule that he has to keep to at the same time...

    Ah yes. Now there's a blast from the past. What was the name of that early evening charades show he was always on? Isn't his brother now involved in the media in some way, also?

    Sorry! gone way off topic here!

    No, not that one.

    This was on in the early 90s. It was basically charades. He was a team member on it frequently along with twink and other irish celebs.:rolleyes: simpler, far less sophisticated times.
