Funnily enough I think Michael McNamara is very sincere and is a grafter but he isn't politically astute and he is way too honest and straightforward to avail of some of the soft photo opportunities that some of his colleagues do.

Unfortunately, I think he chose the wrong political party, there is no Labour following in Clare and there will be less from here on in.

I've only ever heard positive things about Michael McNamara, but I hear little so it sounds like your assessment about him being under the radar is on the money

CountyHurler

He's look a lot more politician like with this haircut..



I'm not mad on the Elvis in Germany era cut he's rocking now...

"The large party will get it's way" says he.

Well why is Mick and Labour in gov,if the large party gets its way.?

Harry Angstrom

Starting to get lively now!

"Your blinds were closed today werent they"...

What a load of rubbish... I think Ireland has had enough of this populist nonsense.. McNamara looks very downbeat, seems like he's just had enough...

Some of his friends should take the shovel off him. Fookin clown he proved himself several times on VinnB.

I've seen Michael on the show before and I think he is very capable.

CountyHurler

Just looking at the front row, it seems that Clare has it's own militia....

Sinn fein are there I see ....

Lady Chatterton

Timmy has all the answers now that he is in opposition but his party were in government when Ennis lost its 24 Hour A&E and Shannon Airport lost its Heathrow slots.

Harry Angstrom

Gerben Uunk, that's a fine Clare name.

.....and ELECTED by the supposedly savvy voters of Ireland. The truth is that the voters of Ireland know right well who they are electing and they get exactly what they deserve.

Yeah, he's coming across more impressive and sincere than I've ever seen him on this show before... I have to go to bed, but I'll watch it on the VHS tomorrow... nite :-)

He is a Dutch national who stood in the County Council elections last year and received about 100 votes.

Wasn't he one of the few TDs in the Dáil when IW was being legalised?
Iirc, he was very angry at the conditions and walked out in disgust.

Strikes me as an honest guy.

Timmy Dooley's wife is sitting to the right of Dr. Bhamjee.

Politically or physically?

tayto lover

The Doctor has a good sense of humour.

Record breaking low vote earner and multi millionaire McCabe is on the same row as Dr Bhamjee too. He will def raise a few eyebrows if he gets a chance to speak

Un Croissant

He looks more culchie than Indian. Just saying.

I remember people taking the p1ss out of McCabe when he first ran in the local elections but he has had the last laugh. He is one of the few people who did well out of the Celtic Tiger years. To be fair to him, he bought two hotels in recent times and he is providing some employment.

I admire his get up and go attitude, and he does have a good community spirit; I was just pointing out that he is a "character"

Roger_007

Vinny changed that subject very quickly to one of his own obsessions!

I'm in complete agreement with you, he is a character and a half

The problem with all these shows is that they end up with disproportionately large turnouts of the hard left parties like people before profit and sometimes worse. They listen to nobody, are not open to reasonable argument and spend most of the time shouting and interrupting.

Lady Chatterton

Re-forum?

Roger_007

Reforum??

Harry Angstrom

What is reforum?

small town girl

Lol, this is my sisters colleague. My sister bet me Eur20 two weeks ago that she would be on speaking, she loves this type of thing. There goes my twenty....

tayto lover

Good woman yourself. Sock it to them.

Harry Angstrom

The guys sitting up the front must have thought they were going to a rave.

These are normal citizens of our state, not government muppets or political embedded news hacks.

This lad is a character! Gwan John
