    Is this clown actually for real, the pub bloke? I hope his business goes down the tubes.

    Missed it, what did he say?
    I was still in shock from listening to Dr. Mary Flynn, someone directly involved and making decisions around tackling obesity.

    To stop house parties the government should ban supermarkets, filling stations and off licenses from selling alcohol, but allow pubs to open - said by a third generation publican.

    Basically a turkey wanting christmas to be made a vegan holiday.

    Jaysus!

    edit: I mean he might have some, argument if he suggested that all alcohol sales should cease.
    Not saying I'd agree with that, but there's more logic to it.

    Texter into Pat said he saw 2 guys piling 15 slabs into their car.

    I don't think you could fit 15 slabs into most standard cars.

    They weren't complaining when retiring publicans were selling their licences to said off licences, filling stations and supermarkets.

    Well you could put a cap on how many I suppose, but one trip to the supermarket to stock up on booze for the next few weeks, is better than people making multiple trips over multiple days.

    For example my dad has left the house twice since March, both for medical appointments, on the way home he bought 3 bottles of whiskey and a bottle of gin and experienced some raised eyebrows. Sounds like a lot but that his stock for about 3 months.

    I’ve been listening to our Minister for Health for the last 15 minutes.

    He hasn’t the semblance of a clue of what he is talking about. He is making up policy on the hoof and is unable to answer any reasonable question.

    Stephen Donnelly on with Pat. He doesn't seem to contemplate a whole lot.

    Really...not a clue and couldn't answer any question? I must have been listening to a different interview.

    Bit harsh.

    It's a tough brief, I thought he did ok.

    I didn't think there were many politicians I'd dislike as much as Richard Bruton, I find him a weasely little thing, can't stand him. I can now add Donnelly to that list, I wouldn't let him look after my goldfish, he's an out and out spoofer and a bad one at that.

    Danny Healy Rae on now, talking about pubs. Sounds like he has just come out of one, an incoherent mess.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,533 ✭✭✭✭murpho999


    Danny Healy Rae, Kerry man of the people, TD and publican on now surprisingly wants pubs open.

    "How does the virus know you're eating?" was his main point.

    Well in fairness, that's been the main argument of a majority of posters in a lot of Covid threads on boards :D


    I've taken to Lyric most mornings this week - I can just about do an hour of Pat, but I'm finding him more and more irritating as time goes on (he's sounding more and more like the class swot/know-it-all, and that little knowing "hmm" that he mutters under his breath before asking every single question drives me NUTS), and have decided I can't bear Claire Byrne on RTE despite the fluency of her lovely voice.

    He’s enjoyed shutting down any “accusations” that he was calling for Phil Hogan’s head the last couple of days.

    I heard the Healy-Rae bloke talking, what even language is that? Hard to believe people vote for that clown.

    Don't be fooled by the Healy-Rae accent, he's a lot smarter than some of the clowns going around Leinster House with their stupid UK/American twang and an air of importance about them.

    I'd agree for Michael definitely , would not be too sure about Danny.

    The man can barely speak English, he's a moron. I think his supporters like to big up his cute-hoorism, sticking it to the D4 UK/American twang politicians in Dublin, but no, he's just an idiot.

    An idiot that knows how to get elected and game the system. That's probably more of an indictment of our political system, rather than an endorsement of his intelligence. Either way, fair play to him, he's succeeded where many others have failed.

    You think everyone outside Dublin is a thick moran while you elect idiots like Paul Murphy, Boy Barrett, Brid Smith and Gino who never done a proper days work in their lives.
    What would you call what the do to get elected by turning up for every protest march that goes on in Dublin, is that cute-hoorism or have you got a different name for it there.

    It wasn't actually. It was a stupid comment at the end.

    His main point was that he wouldn't back the calls to open the pubs until he read the regulations.

    Also made the point that in many cases regulations for business have been published a few days before they were allowed to open which is not very helpful.

    DHR is a gobsh1te but he made a few good points like above. But certain people with certain accents will fail to acknowledge him, no matter what he says.

    That would be the English language.

    Ah good, you've figured out the language...maybe you're not so good in the old linguistic knowledge.

    If it's one thing that Danny Healy-Rae is not, it's an idiot...smoke and mirrors. Although he does his best to sound like an idiot at times. Michael is head and shoulders above him.

    Well said. Just because they don't share the same accent as Healy-Rae doesn't mean that their ideas and policies aren't as idiotic. In many instances, they're much more idiotic, such as Brid Smiths clamoring for students to simply pick whichever course they would like to do in college this year, completely oblivious to the fact that there are a finite number of places.

    Such noble causes, I'm sure :rolleyes:
