I kind of don't blame her for being a bit flouncy. Richard Bruton became a senior minister, despite the fact that he was the one who challenged Kenny in 2010. As a (very) right-wing politician, nobody would have taken Lucinda seriously if she had quit over a budgetary issue.

I still find it amazing that Kenny won that leadership battle. His biography is called "The Unlikely Taoiseach". No shit...

Kenny won because he was around longer than anyone else. He has little or no ability, longevity was the key. If Creighton wants to get to the top in her party she should know that longevity counts more than anything else. That's FG/FF in a nutshell. I've little time for Kenny as Taoiseach, but I also hope that Creighton will be permanently damaged in her career by this posturing flounce.

Sherlock should NOT go and live in California, she'd be REALLY pissed off

I've heard (from people who have met him) that he's actually a very pleasant person. I reckon he won because nobody wanted to hurt his feelings. I'm not sure that's a very good reason to allow him to run a country...

FINE Gael have described as “silly” an incident in which a male TD pulled his female colleague onto his lap during a break in the abortion debate late last night.


Ho, ho, the cheap beer and late hour must have been making them Blueshirt TD's a bit giddy.

Tom Barry has just released a statement, apologising for the incident last nite..

http://www.rte.ie/news/2013/0711/461807-dail-debate-tom-barry/

"What I did last night was disrespectful and inappropriate. I have apologised to Aine Collins and she graciously and immediately accepted my apology. No excuses, I just shouldn't have done it."

When I first heard of the incident I was sure it was gona be Mick Wallace and Claire Daly.. (obviously with Claire Daly pulling Mick in to her lap).

vicwatson

John McGuirk, hmmmm, smarmy head on him !

Edit - He'd be the last person on the planet I'd go for a drink with

Busted Flat.

At least she had guts and conviction, though I certainly don't agree with her position.
There were plenty of others who were ready to talk the talk, but not so willing to walk the walk. (I'm looking at you, Michelle Mulherin, Healy-Eames, James Bannon and others) All talk, no b*lls....

Harry Angstrom

Vinnie is great for the hypothetical situations :rolleyes:

Ah don't give her too much credit, all she's doing is voting for what she believes. Hardly a big deal.

Healy-Eames hasn't had a chance to vote yet.

Can this guy not sit up?

take everything

Oh goodie.
John McGurk on to tell women what to do with their bodies.

coolhull

Very brave of Mary to tell us she had an abortion.. Of course, in Mad Dana's eyes, that makes Mary a murderer.

Lisha

All I can say is go on Mary coughlan (and I am very conflicted about how I feel re abortion issue)

grey_so_what

He's fierce smug and patronising...........:(

JonathanAnon

I wonder what Jesus Christ would have thought of Mary Coughlan raising her kids while drinking a litre of vodka a day.. She really has no moral authority to be speaking from such a pious position..

She finds herself excluded from her party and she's lost her junior ministry. That's a big enough deal for most people in her position.
