Nepotism is bad... Lets talk to Helen who got her seat off her dad....

When it comes to the neknomination there was an urgency given the speed that these thing take hold. But CF has has many victims, surely if awareness needed to be raised they could have found a less recent tragedy to do this.

Perhaps Ms McEntee might come back when there's a discussion about nepotism in Irish politics?

First thing I think when I see this lot is break out the elocution teachers. And I cannot stand Joan Collins, Averil Power and Kathleen Lynch.

....hopefully this turns into a purely politics discussion.

BATTER YEA ROIGHT!

Hitchens

which one is Beaker's mot?

Harry Angstrom

Kathleen Lynch is a sell-out and a hypocrite.

Welsh Megaman

Now THAT was a look of fear!

Skid X

There has never been a better time to be a Woman who wants to get elected.

The Parties have to run 30% female candidates or they get no funding.

JM Skipton

What this conversation needs is fianna fails Lorraine Clifford from Dublin 4, purely for debating purposes.......

keith16

Avril hasn't said a word yet! LOL

Or whoever this is speaking now??

All back to Omar's hotel room after the show!

Pdoghue

Hubby Fionnan won't like being described as a middle-aged man.

locum-motion

This whole argument about "women aren't represented enough in politics" is complete horse****.

The entire argument is based on the concept that elected persons only represent people like them.

If I were elected, I would represent everyone in my constituency; black/white, male/female, old/young, straight/gay -I really don't discriminate against ANY of them.

I'm a 44yo straight white male, BTW.

Is that the wan Mary Hannifin is trying to shaft?

BorneTobyWilde

Make her look stupid why don't you

dee_mc

What's the point of bringing on a bunch of female politicians to talk about women in politics?! He just moved one of them on from talking about a more general politics point, 'well lets keep to the point of women in politics'. Do we really need a crowd of female politicians whose only agenda is to have more women in politics?! Balls. Whenever there are strong female candidates I'll vote for them, but I will never vote for a woman because she's a woman.

This was my first thought when Shatters replacement was announced. Strangely enough there was no mention of his secretary/spin doctors being replaced.

Ol' Donie

Yer one on the right has had a tough time of it. She was outnumbered by men on the bridge of the Enterprise too.

Zigmund

And now lets bitch about Fine Gael being bad for women.

Second worst next to FF, but lets forget about them...cause Ryan's related to half of them...

Sir Oxman

Ooh Tubridys FF bias...what a gimp.

Yeah, they could have got some of the loveliest candidates from the current Election for this, that would have been more watchable

The problem isn't that women aren't represented. It's that the Dail isn't representative of Irish society - 50% of which is female.

sudzs

Ah fek off woman in the green dress, challenged with stats differing to your own and all you can do is smile beguilingly and laff it off. FFS :mad:

I'm sorry but how does fionann sheehans wife continually get on these shows when she has not been elected by anyone

Because she's a mouth. Like Ivana Bacik.

Nah, that's Kate Feeney.

Just had a look at GNS but actually had to switch back cos Graham and Jean Paul are wearing fierce shiny suits. I may have to switch off altogether. Can't bear to listen to Kathleen Lynch - Ms Meritorious

No...but I would shaft her.....politically speaking of course

Methinks you are missing the point. Given the current jobs for the boys set up, the odds of you getting a chance to vote for a woman in the first place are very slim, given all the obstacles that are in their way for them to have a life in politics. That is their whole point.

Imagine the confusion in the Green Room when Omar Sharif was introduced to Joan Collins.

Mary Hanafin? Shure what ever your having yourself

A new party is needed... "The Pink Party"!

Has Joan Collins got her nose pierced? And is she related to Mary Byrne - sounds just like her….

You miss my point - you're assuming that if I were elected I would only look after the interests of straight white men in their 40s. And I say that's horse****.

Hasn't been all bad though. She has had chart success as one-third of...

I apologise for liking pretty things as well as having an interest in politics.

My level of DLB annoyance is at fever pitch during this. Gob****e!

Ol' Donie

It'd be gas if they just invited four fellas on to discuss this.

Me too. I wish one of them would just tell him to stop cutting across them and, let them actually answer the bloody question. :mad:
