If you read my post on it I clearly said I don’t give a toss about this issue. It hasn’t angered me one bit it’s a nothing issue.

I did read your post, but you still jumped in on the conversation, saying the 50% was irrelevant, and disingenuous. I didnt ask you to do that, you did it, I was replying to all the posts about the phone calls. If you dont care about it then dont engage, simple.

So glad you agree that it was a nothing issue, you should have said something when your fellow MHR haters mentioned it.

I am off now.

I didn’t say the 50% was irrelevant at all not sure where you read that.
Not sure why you think I’m a ‘MHR hater’ it’s not Trumps America we don’t have to pick sides and stick with it no matter what is said or done.
I did give my feelings on this issue I apologise if I didn’t give it early enough for you but I got there and I’m sure you appreciate me standing up for your man.

The Healy Rae thrive on pretence that the world hates them.. it was even used as defence in recent assault case .. not sure why they Feel they need to engage in constant negative messaging... they have 2 TD 3 councilors not sure why they feel so unloved

They may or may not feel unloved (I really doubt they do!) but they do know a winning electoral strategy when they see one. "The poor underdog always being attacked by dem up in Dublin" is a really easy sell, and well they know it.

True although last election surprised me that their vote slipped a bit.. still a lot of room for slippage .. but some of the young lads will want to start behaving a bit better at chippers as they could damage the brand

The older generation at least put in the work - not the work they should be doing, obviously; visiting funerals and organising bus trips is not the work of a TD - but some of the younger generation just seem to be entitled "Do you not know who I am!?" types.

I blame the voters, the inability to ask a simple question like "waht the plans for the next 5 years in getting job to Kerry" is inexcusable that no-one seems to have the ability to ask.


The "I will stick it up dem in Dublin" maybe might have worked once for some people but to run with the same policy every time and not actually anything else is beyond a joke how people still vote them in.

Then defend them blindly when they are robbing the country left, right and centre.



At this stage, cut it off. Let the Kerry people pay their wages and for the rest of the Healy Rae clan to keep them all paid, Im sick of my tax money going to a shower like that. Especially the shower of scumbags coming up now

In fairness the Rae are doing well Financially alright between TD salary expenses and the council they must be drawing 500k per annum As a family

I had a giggle this week with mhr complaints on kerry county dev plan.. this is the same council with 3 family members and a few associates who had a say on this plan and basically approved the plan he complained about... same council that gave him planning twice for flats in a pub in Tralee .. and an bord pleanala has rejected twice..
real question is what are the Rae councillors doing .. minding the Rae empire or the voters Who trusted ty hem with their votes

Or is all the complains from the Rae family to distract that mhr did not make full disclosure to the dail on directorships etc

Quite a few votes for the H. Raes come from old guys who want to give 2 fingers to everyone else. A lot of other voters will just vote for someone who is a pain in the neck or populism for the kicks and to annoy all the centralists. In short voting by about 20% these days is not taking seriously and here is the result. I have a feeling if armageddon befell the world quite a few who be deliriously happy with that.

Its the same people who vote in gobs**t like the Healy Rae are then complaining because XYZ isnt working. The HSE is a mess. RTE is a mess. Socail Welfare is a mess

Then they vote in Healy Rae who does zero to help any of these issues. They rejoice because he sticks on a bus to drive them up to the North. Like really how does that make any sense?



If they voted in a proper politcian in a party they might actually get something done, not some gangster landlord coming up to shake your hand because a relative has died.

While the other clown is running a pub and trying to hide the tax money. Seriously!

I can tell you, the older generation have no qualms of playing the same card.

Still when you look at some of those who made Minister in the last Govn't, they're not very far removed.

Or can we just nuke Kerry from orbit, just to be sure?

I will translate as best I can:



He represents people who eat their dinner in the middle of the day.

Therefore he should be allowed to open his pub to sell them drink and not sell them food - presumably because his profits are more important than stopping the virus from spreading and killing more people.....I am sure he also owns funeral operators as well so sure it wouldn't be necessarily bad for business on that end either.



Apparently that passes for logic down that way.

People might be surprised to know that the H.R's are not as popular as they may seem, the thing with them is, like SF voters, they have a hardcore base that will keep voting them for the thrill of socking it to their neighbours and the rest of the country. It's not really politics at all but largely a kind of arrogant narcissistic personality thought process.

People don’t understand what a TD is and what a councillor is. They vote in Healy Rae based on work a councillor should be doing

Ignorance of the Irish political system is the biggest issue

But you now have a few other independents that are peddling same rubbish as the HR donoghue in Limerick along with Collins in west Cork are following the HR playbook .. The dail may as well get converted into a circus tent if a few more HR clones arrive in Leinster house

The pair got 25000 No 1s out of a 78000 poll. Not a bad hard core. Although Danny was about 7000 behind the "smarter" brother. They also "deliver" for their constituents and indeed are known to represent people outside Kerry who are getting nowhere with their own T.D.s
