    Ok. Essentially you're saying because one is pro choice you get a pass on being an idiot, insulting people with differing conditions, being racist, wasting tax payers money on 82,000 colour leaflets you don't use. Having a sense of entitlement to All Ireland tickets etc for free. Among other idiotic behaviour.

    You're thought process is astounding. People being pro choice or pro life is fairly well down the list of people's priorities, post referendum. They want competent politicians, a decent health service, to be able to purchase a house etc.

    Hi Catherine.

    On boards trying to resurrect your political career? Let's blame a group who we perceive to be unpopular..pro lifers! Excellent. You probably thought of blaming the Jews also.

    She used it as an example of something that politicians should never say. I think she is right.

    Did she explain this to Enda before or after he appointed her to the Senate

    From the Irish Independent link:

    Ms Noone said she "did not seek this to be in the papers" - despite contacting this newspaper directly to express her annoyance at the GAA.


    Ms Noone has previously raised eyebrows among colleagues after describing the "persistent use of chimes" by ice cream vans as "aggressive".

    Enda did say the Senate was a pointless waste of space...

    Probably giving him too much credit to think he used his appointments to prove his point...

    Enda has a bit of history in the use of the N word himself.

    She denied that she used the term autistic in a negative way. She only admitted that she did when the reported pointed out that he had recorded her. The autistic community in Ireland are very hurt and angry.

    He sure does but in context to describe an African politician. But in that case He said he was just repeating a joke told him by someone else.

    Mary O'Rourke used it in the way that a retired bricklayer might use it to compliment you on a days hard work. Same phrase. She should have known better but like Catherine Noone there was no malice in it.

    She's a scumbag and if she was in SF she'd be plastered all over the front of the indo.

    She may enjoy a drink from time to time but plastered is a strong word!

    She's certainly not Maria Bailey on SOR levels of plastered.

    How many times can Catherine Noone put her foot in it and show her total ignorance before the people are allowed to say that she’s not fit for office? Are you seriously suggesting that people living with autism and their families need to just suck it up??

    Autism is not a disease!
    Everyone is on the spectrum that's why it's called a spectrum!

    Good question. Something about Varadkar finding it hard to express emotion but actually being very sympathetic?

    Mary O'Rourke meant no harm but Noone was really having a cut at Leo. He doesn't get what's going on some of the time. Socially awkward etc.

    Its use in popular music is by black artists. I have never heard a white or asian artrist use the N word.

    So it’s not racist if black people say it, but it is if white people do? Do you have a brain?

    True.
    And in fairness to SF they acted pretty quickly when that podcast dude stuck his big MMA foot in his mouth.

    Speaking to a journalist from The Times, Ms Noone said: ‘He’s autistic like, he’s on the spectrum, there’s no doubt about it. He’s uncomfortable socially and he doesn’t always get the in-between bits.’
    Can you understand at all how the autistic community could find this offensive.

    I admire the Brits in situations like this. They have to resign. Proper order. Catherine Noone is a gob****e. Her future in politics is a non entity now, thanks to her lack of intelligence and thinking she is important. My advice to her is to resign ASAP. What a gob****e, the rest of her colleagues will ostrasise her and give her a wide berth from here onwards.

    You haven't looked at any of Boris Johnson's quotes have you?

    He looked both rattled and furious at the same time.
