the democratic??? democratic left? democratic unionists??

JM Skipton

The seanad is absolutely irrelevant, if it ceased to exist would anybody seriously say their life would be affected for the worse.

It simply leaves me very uneasy, doing away with a tier of democratic structure, imperfect as it may be and however much in need of reform or restructuring.

Who needs the seanad to sort out issues when we have liveline. Remember head shops and magic mushrooms and the run on the banks in 2008

my friend

Jaysus a caller critiques Fianna Fáil and he's still on air!

Joe must be snoozing or wiping up after the last caller

neris

reform the place so failed politicans and spoofers like david norris cant be voted in by intellectual elites and political buddies. Open vote for all citizens

Don't worry George Hook seems to have an open invite to all these Summer Schools that the remaining politicians frequent and seemly form policy at.

We don't live in a proper democracy anyway, if we did the Bank guarantee wouldn't have happened. Anyway if we do get rid of it I don't think people will be saying in ten years time "Oh I wish we never got rid of the seanad"

neris

how about we abolish joe

"Forget your dusty ol toilet..... Come to Dungarvan and 'Do Your Business' in our town square!!!"

Democracy at its best in Dungarvan

Dan Jaman

The parking in Dungarvan works fine for me - fecking town planners just meddling for the sake of it.

neris

joes finger is frantically hunting around the map of dublin for dungarven. a researchers banging on the window to tell him to down further on the map of ireland. thats not dublin says joe cut her off

DuckHook

Councils in ireland really are a joke...bunch of power mad eejits bereft of any common sense.

Sligo Quay

Well all joking aside, I hope the people do turn out and vote to abolish this gravy train for reject politicans, if the people vote to keep Seanad, then they deserve everything they get, give the 20milion to Peter McVerry SJ

DuckHook

Whats the point of this...people get sore-eye-assis its not anything worth talking about on the radio.

CorsendonkX

Talking about medical treatments on Liveline should be banned by the BAI.

sudzs

Dan Jaman

Well in the years to come most will be abolished.

Then all crazy decisions will be taken by the unelected town manager.

IvyTheTerrible

Stop overusing "so to speak".

Dan Jaman

See, abolish the Seanad and sore-eya-asses will be breaking out all over.

Manuka honey is the bizz.

Doesnt taste as nice as regular honey though.

More deaths in the ad breaks.

Eh, they put through whatever they want now anyway.

Edit, damn, I feel dirty Joe saying the same thing I just did.
