If you're being correct and pedantic they're not. They're no longer tds but they are ministers until the next government is formed

Feic it, I knew I was threading on thin ice with that, I wasn't sure if they also lost their portfolios with the dissolution of the Dail when I was posting. That will teach me.

Such a shame, I was only saying a couple of hours ago that this thread is usually a lot more mature than this type of nonsense you get in others. Which party at you now going to acuse me of being a member of?

See, I couldn't care less which party you are a member of or who you are going to vote for. Such a shame that you are the one who lacks the intellectual maturity.

Didn't see it but apparently Chambers just announced he is pro life and does not favour a referendum on the 8th. Very disappointing, especially in someone so young. Very close minded, and worrying that he doesn't even support the people having a say.

Catherine Noone is only 39. Yikes.

Is Jack being pro-life going to help him win votes?

Is he pro-life? Yet another reason (as if I need one) not to vote for him.

I doubt it in this constituency.

Is that going to matter to a lot of the people who were going to vote for him anyway? I see a typical Chambers voter as being older, traditionally an FF voter all their lives but strayed from the party after Brian Lenihan died. But now they have "one of their own" back in the saddle they're happy to go back to FF. The majority of that demographic would probably be conservative and very much pro-life, so they wouldn't want a referendum either.

Who was the other pro life candidate I missed it in my anger at jack

ThisRegard

Did they just completely ignore that handsome lads question from before the break?

Ruth, "I'm sure we'll be hearing from them", as she looks over to check if her stooges are in place.

I don't think so either, if you want a pro-life candidate you can vote for Varadkar

The lady? She said she was a member of FF and a midwife.

Edit, sorry, you said candidate, not person in the audience.

Very much so. They said there were two anti abortion candidates. Who was the other one? I missed it.

ThisRegard

And who's this journalist, and why are the incorrect points he's making relevant to D15?

No Vincent mentioned there was another candidate up on stage who was pro life.

As an aside I hope I never get cared for by that midwife if any unborn child of mine has a fatal fetal abnormality.

Irish Sugar? Apart from it being being closed during the term of another government, and it was because of an agreement at EU level, it didn't have much of an affect around here.

I just realised that's what you meant, I don't know who the other is.

Paul donnelly confusing the central bank policy with the government policy.

ThisRegard

Again with the mad idea that the super rich are the answers to all the states problems. They've been claiming this long enough and still can't yet provide mathematical evidence as to how.

He looks very out if his dept. But in reality how many people will have seen this show and vote for him.
Paul also looks a bit lost tbh.

smallerthanyou

Is that a real Sinn Fein policy to cut the tax relief on pensions? Madness.

ThisRegard

Ruth with more lies, only a small select few of Tesco employees have been asked to change their contracts.

And why isn't she allowed to sit with the rest of them?

And you have to laugh at her unique take on democracy.

Donnelly isn't great with specifics related to the economy.

Probably at their request as their eardrums can only handle a certain amount of shrillness in one evening.

He's sticking to the party line so.

That's just SF in general, did you hear Adams earlier?
