    I give Derek Nolan my first vote in the election and with regret I am believing now that he is just useless in the Dail.
    I thought a young fella would try and make a name for himself but instead he is sitting on the benches enjoying his exorbitant salary.
    I looked online to see what has he done since being elected and it's zero.
    Anyone else annoyed at electing this guy?

    What did you expect of him in a hundred days?

    He is a first term TD in a government with a huge majority. What exactly do you expect him to be doing?

    It's over a hundred days and I expect him to be vocal.

    It is only over 100 days ... he isn't going to be doing miraculous in this time period. Give him a chance , he is young and inexperienced, at this level, he needs to learn the ropes.

    He's condemned to the back benches it seems, those who voted for him, Brian Walsh and Sean Kyne should have known this.

    Our Senators get alot more done even.

    He's got to work his way up the pecking order. There's guys in there years who've been on the opposition back benches for years they are now in power and aren't going to let a young whippersnapper take their moment in the sun.

    What would you have liked to see him do?
    What do you mean by make a name for himself? Release a press release telling Lucinda to sort out her eyebrows?

    He's barely in the Dail a wet week, judge him after a few years, imo.

    Out of curiosity, what other Galwegian (or other) backbenchers have caught your eye so far? I don't think there's that many high profile ones.
