The guy is so up his own ar se its unreal, not funny, not entertaining, pathetic really. Where he smashed the controls of his tee shirt guitar was so contrived last week, everything is scripted.

The only good thing about last weeks show was an acoustic set from the Corona's. Thats the only reason I left it on last week.

she only had two weeks holidays why didn't she go on it then ¿ Was it off the air for the Easter holidays ?

She should be in work in fairness. She's getting expenses to be up in Dublin and instead of being in the Dail or being in Waterford doing constituency work she's on Ireland's version of loose women. If she had achieved lots of great stuff over the last few months then it would be somewhat excusable but she hasn't as far as anyone can tell.

In a week when he hear of 500 new jobs in Cork and 500 more between Dublin and Galway. You might even say that she was "fiddling when Rome burned". Her own constituents have to emigrate to Sydney because there are just no jobs in Waterford - but that doesn't really matter to Ciara when she can discuss Demi Moore et al on a TV chat show and collect her pay check. Why wasn't she in her seat in the Dail - it was in session.

I think she better do some explaining - maybe she can even give her unemployed constituents some hope, the ones that are still here that is.

I hope she has enough followers left to vote her in at the next election. Labour is losing ground fast.

I doubt she'll get voted in again. There'll be a right motley crew of candidates in Waterford for the next election I'd say. Two guys who deserve at least as much criticism as Ciara are the two FG guys. What have they done? At least John Halligan makes some noise up there (a lot of it may be pointless and OTT at times but at least he's doing something). Some TDs do great work in raising issues in the Dail and behave like politicians on a national scale whereas others busy themselves dealing with various local issues in their constituency office. It seems that most of the current crop do very little of either (well not as far as I can see anyway). The fact that Ciara hasn't replied to some people's communication is pretty poor tbh. It's not as if she should have the time to do so.

I agree. Paudie though seems to be trying (he was Cathaoirleach recently) and Halligan gets a word in whenever he has a chance in the Dail. Even David Cullinane is doing his best in the Senate. The real passenger I would say is John Deasy. He doesn't feature anywhere. Can anyone tell me anything he has done this year? His wife Maura Dirrane is very prominent on TV but John really does seem to be just coasting along collecting the pay check and enjoying a comfortable life in Dublin.

I imagine he is being quiet and staying out of the way of Enda, seeing as he was vocal in the heave against him a few years ago.
To be honest he is about as useful as his father was as a minsiter. I expected a lot more out of him that this.

As for Paudie Coffey, please tell me what he has achieved, you don't see any sight nor sound of him, probably because he is so far up Enda's ar se

John Halligan is a good guy and Cullinane is your typical Sinn Fein rep. Its a pity that the most the independents can hope for is a bit of radio and tv coverage, as the.y have no power whatsoever in the dail

Ciara Conway TD considers being on midday tabloid pap "a chance to become au fait with the medium and to familiarise myself with how it works".

(Quote from a few pages back)

This is the best excuse she could come up with???

They don't even bother trying, do they?

I can confirm that's what she said to me in e-mail. Even the use of French in her response in a situation where it's not a common expression makes her sound detached and a bit arrogant.

It would be nice of Ciara if she became au fait with the real issues of the people of Waterford.

Conway must not have anything better to do than appear on Midday TV. Doesen't matter the country is going down the toilet or 450,000 or so out of work. No she's more interested in finding out how the medium works! Ripping off the tax payer just like all the rest of them. Disgraceful

Maybe she knows that she doesn't have much of a future in politics and is trying to forge a new career for herself. Forge is very apt there isn't it?

Still, if that is the case, then fair play to her.

Also, people need to remember that a TD is effectively powerless. People seem to think that Paudie and Ciara should be doing stuff for Waterford and should be working wonders. I'm sure they are working with their constituents on a daily basis, trying to address any issues that arise related to Waterford, bring issues about Waterford of concern to Ministers, etc. But all of this would be in the background. Ministers are seen making big choices daily, but TDs are not like that.

The way our Dail works, its not possible and they don't get much speaking time. Why does Halligan? Because he is part of a very small opposition group that are given a certain amount of speaking time. Because there are very few of them there, they each get good speaking time. The same applies with Sinn Fein, but I think they are pushing Cullinane because of his failure to get elected by the people (same applies to Mary Lou).

Labour & FG especially have huge numbers in the Dail. Paudie does very well to get speaking time and acting as chair, and I have seen Ciara at the forefront of many Labour outings / pictures. I think they both get to speak in the Dail at the same time but Paudie was given the chair.

I don't follow Ciara because it seems to be mostly family based stuff (her own) and general personal ramblings. I assume she does issue general PR on achievements and stuff like speaking time on the Dail. Paudie has anyway.

I know over the year or so lots of people pointed out stuff she has done and said, and were unhappy with it. That's fair enough. But to suggest she is doing nothing behind the scenes seems a little unfair considering you rarely see TDs achievements anyway.

The only way the political classes will ever take us seriously is if we throw these piles of manure out the first chance we get. We've just heard the YFG rep say they are powerless and we are supposed to be OK with that. It doesn't matter if they work hard or not.It doesnt matter if they sweat,blood and tears.If the results are not forthcoming then they need to go. It is not a reward system for "great little workers" Which incidentally they are not. The government are only a year old and already FG are in a FF like reality bubble. Golf Classics with Bagmen.Galway Punchestown Tent. It's like the whole thing is a charade to disguise a one party state.

Firstly, I am not a YFG rep.

Secondly, this system has been the same for as long as I can remember and we got on with it, in good times and in bad.

Thirdly, there have been improvements for TDs but realistically they wont ever have much power and instead represent you and address your issues (where possible) to those who do have power. How can you expect every TD to be given such power?

The point of a minister is that the TDs make the representations and insist / try very hard to get the issues addressed. This is the only thing they can make public but at the same time they cant be knocking the government to hard because they haven't a chance of political success if they do so.

Firstly you've been using the site since well before the election to promote FG and you have for canvassed FG.Correct?You're involved in FG out in WIT.No? You defend them consistently.You are a FG rep.Or perhaps you're like Sarah Carey.Not in "FG" but promote and lie for them all the same.

Who gives a f$ck how long the system has been the way it is.I seem to remember FG promising to change that as well. But not before the gombeen scum in both parties have their way.Paudie Coffey is useless and redundant.Your just trying to create the impression of fait acompli for the benefit of FG.You do not need a minister to be influential.You just need to be savvy.Vote the way we are now "only" if we have a minister. If we don't then vote strategically like Dublin SE.Who incidentally has had ministers constantly since 1922.

Firstly, I have been using this site for a long time without mentioning politics. Your clutching at straws and clearly don't know much about my political background. Secondly, as it stands, there is no active FG/YFG presence in Waterford. Thirdly, while I am a Fine Gael voter (which is publicly known) I have on this forum and in other places made my views that are in opposition to party policy where I disagree. Fourthly, I am here defending Labour when I could be slating Ciara Conway. As many people who actually know me and don't go guessing - my interest in politics is broad.

My reason for pointing out how the system has worked was to give clarity and explain to those who don't fully understand the Dail that its not as simple as people expect. I think its fair to explain how it works, why some get more time and others don't get. Its not defending either party - its explaining how the system (party neutral) works.

The current government have been in place a little over a year. There has been changes to the Dail system in the first year. Should there be more? Yes, the Dail should be completely reformed where possible. Will there be more? Yes, I do hope so and I would be disappointed and annoyed if after the governments term they didn't at least make a good start at reforming. Do I expect Ireland to be turned around, reformed and pulled out from the pit in such a short space of time? No, I like to be a little realistic.

Apparently, because I am a Fine Gael supporter, I am trying to put a good image for Fine Gael re: Paudie Coffey. That would be a fair assessment if I didn't talk about the other Waterford TDs. But I did.

Tell me what the opposition TDs have done for Waterford? Tell me what any TD, opposition or in government, in Ireland has done for their constituency that suggest our very own TDs, or two of them at least, are useless.

Yes but the FG fortunes only turned about a year before that last election and it was around this time you started pimping them anonymously.You only disclosed your involvement when you were called on it enough times and before you deny it there is enough impartial people here that you won;t fool that will remember.Why wouldn't you defend Labour?

Do tell, how does it work? Do explain how other TDs are any good, outside of Waterford - you forgot that part.

Examples of lame duck improvements?

But you don't promote the other TD's only Coffee and the firewall Conway.Even Deasy you denigrate because he dares to correctly criticize FG.

Deasy is the only other TD, who does his own thing and has his own support base. He is around a long time, as was his father before him. I would like to hear where you think Deasy has been a better TD than Coffey, bar knocking the party and being brutally honest (though he does vote with the government on the policies and changes they implement) which many would argue is the reason he isn't given a ministerial position which many in Waterford are crying out for.

All I was doing in regards to Ciara, and I think its the first time I have ever cast much thought on her, is pointing out how the Dail works for TDs. I cast no opinion on whether I agreed with the various issues people have brought up about her on Boards.

I never said the opposition were in a position to deliver anything.But they are not a blank space like Coffey and Conway.How about this you tell me what Coffey/Conway has acheived? It's about long term strategy because this is it for Coffey.Tomorrow he will be 50 and probably still a BB or Minister of state for Tiddlywinks at best.He is disposable.His only purpose now unless things radically change for Waterford is to be used by the voters to send a message to the government and a cold one at that.

Well considering they get more speaking time, and are obviously going to be more vocal being in opposition..

I cant say I have heard much from Ciara in terms of media related stuff but perhaps I am mistaken. I think Paudie has got a good chunk from the media, and also some speaking time and chair time in the Dail. What have they achieved? Very little, if anything. They make representations on issues, and hope it goes the way they want it.

I assume you will at least agree that every government TD are useless and blank spaces?

Ciara Conway is supposed to be on Vincent Browne tonight discussing the report into children's deaths in the care of the state. Bit of a step up from the Midday show or whatever the hell it's called. Hopefully he'll grill her on the unemployment problem in the South-East, but it's unlikely.

Hopefully he'll grill her on social workers repeatedly ignoring reports of child abuse in the South East.

Does anyone think they really care that it is this high. I dont think they do. They (the most of them anyway) have the fat pay cheque every month with their generous expenses and dont care after that. If they cared, the 4 Waterford TD's, the 3 in South Tipperary, the 5 in Wexford, what ever is in Kilkenny/Carlow and even whats in East Cork would be coming together and demanding answers as to why there is no jobs coming to the South East. But they wont, especially the muppets that are involved with Fine Gael and Labour who are afraid of the Party Whips and wont vote against anything in the dail as some sort of protest about the lack of jobs in the south east. I dont know how many FG/LAB td's there is in the South-East and East Cork regions, but it would appear that there is only one, JOHN DEASY who is trying to do anything, by working with TD's from outside of his own area to try and get something done in the area.

There is reports that in the region of €4 million was spent on a short section of the Round around the Master McGrath Junction in the county, putting down footpaths, cycle paths, a new car park for a pub, water pipes, traffic management measures etc.

I have no reference to it handy but i am sure that both Ciara Conway and Paudie Coffey (Irelands joint ministers for welcoming anything that money is spent on or announcements) both welcomed this work in some shape or form.

There is reports now that some of it will have to be re-done as the road was left in a very dangerous state. There has been a number of accidents in the last few weeks since the works finished on the stretch of road, and also if you pull into the filling station for petrol or what ever, and when you are finished attempt to go back the way you came from, it is near impossible to swing around in one movement as you were able to do before the work was done. Now the chances are you will have to reverse across the road as you turn with traffic coming from possibly both sides.

But its all ok because both Paudie and CIara have possibly welcomed the work happening in the first place.

See they are talking about reducing the number of TD's from 166 to 158 and almost everywhere will be affected, wonder will any of the elected WASTERS representing the Waterford City & County be quivering in their expenses paid boots?

The only way Waterford is going to be effected is that the part of the County represented with South Tipp is going to be now all in with Waterford. Pity realy. They could have told us that from Monday morning they were taking Paudie and Ciara off us. Oh hang on, why wait till monday. Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today and all that.
