    Did anybody see his disgraceful behaviour in the Dáil chamber during the debate on the Water Services Bill this morning? First of all he turns up in a wooly jumper and denim jeans like a crusty while everybody else is wearing a suit (besides that other slob Wallace).

    Right, because politicians in suits have never made horrendously stupid and corrupt decisions which bankrupted the entire.... Oh wait, wait a minute :rolleyes:
    Then he started ranting while using coarse language like "piss" - hardly befitting of a parliamentarian.

    Of course, politicians are expected to talk out of their asses in PC language instead of telling it like it is.
    To anybody on the Left - this is why people laugh at you and don't take you seriously.

    Most of the reasons people don't take the right seriously are currently in NAMA.
    This is why all the socialists are hidden in the very back corner while the big boys are talking.

    Big boys like those who tried to concentrate health services in their own Constituencies, breach salary caps for their personal advisors, used confidential Garda information to smear an opponent... Need I continue?
    What an embarrassment. Ming could be in trouble with Dáil authorities after his outburst.

    That's pathetic.
    Do you honestly thing he will ever progress beyond a one-term novelty backbencher. Imagine somebody like him representing Ireland in the EU parliament or in a ministry.

    It'd be a welcome relief from the snivelling ass kissers we currently have to put up with representing us in the EU...

    It's ridiculous if you ask me. Female TD's or indeed female doctors, businesswomen and the like are not expected to conform to the same basic look (short back and sides, $1,000 suit and the like) but if a male were to go for a slightly different look it automatically makes them the subject of ridicule and makes any of their opinions null and void.

    Because he looks like a complete and utter minge.

    That's why.

    All the CEO's of charities, banks, and politicians wear suits, the financial regulator wore one, and where did that get us, criminals wear suits to court. Are some of the posters on this thread not on this planet.

    Ps. corrupt state on this planet.

    Thats true...some of history's most evil people have worn suits...Hitler,Mao Tse Tung,Stalin,Bono...the lot.

    Decent people should buck this sinister trend by wearing filthy,maggoty jumpers and grease-drenched ponytails.

    It's hardly criminal to think he should look non scruffy, seeing as he is a public representative (nor does it automatically mean disagreeing with him on everything); doesn't mean he should wear a suit either. Black shirt like he often wears, is grand. He'd be taken more seriously also.

    For a "slightly different look"? Well Flanagan's and Wallace's looks are not simply slightly different; they're totally different.
    And a woman would of course be criticised if she dressed scruffily. She is still expected to dress smartly - it's just that there is obviously far more choice in women's clothing.
    My doctor wears a jumper and slacks btw, and he looks fine, because he's not scruffy.

    Like it or not, certain standards are expected in public office. Otherwise you have gurning idiots wearing canary yellow suits to European conferences.

    Would you dress as a Leprachaun to work? It is after all just a rag around your neck, so long as you do your job reasonably?

    Ah fvck it! There should be a basic level of decency and civility in society, if it cannot be observed in the Dail, then what is the alternative I ask?

    Yes, liars look great in suits,

    It's great to shout "Jean Mconville "and "were you in the IRA "at regular intervals in a ****ing suit,

    The suit makes a gob****e look good, and that's ok with you ?

    Fvck me, this is not about how a bearded rustic dresses, but about how a parliamentarian behaves!

    I hate to do it but Churchillian excess is necessary. Fvck all you wrongheads that try to make clothing a class divide.

    I honestly didn't think you would be so shallow when it comes to appearance. It's clear that Flannagan and Wallace wash themselves, they just don't seem to spend a fortune of haircuts and hair styling.

    They are both unacepptably scruffy for Govt representatives.

    For all the bufoonery,the Dail is a serious office to hold and you will not gain any credibility whilst dressed like a dungheap or with the hairstyle of a sex offender.

    Change my IP Address? What the hell would I do that for? Its a discussion board, not the bloody plot of Homeland season 3! I could not be ar5ed to change my IP address, unless there was money in it, like that Dread Pirate Roberts fellow, ad that did not work out well.

    If you're going to represent the country at least make some effort with your appearance and demeanour...dressing like a homeless hippy does not do anything for your credibility and behaving as he did he's only going to be quickly dismissed as a crank.
