Handy few bob for ex TDs the public rejected in the last GE while they decide if the want to run again for the Dail.

Or In the case of Timmy Dooley, a few bob for ex TDs the public rejected in the last election, and were then rejected again by the electorate of their panel in the Seanad elections.

Ah come on it was easy to know what we were voting for, anyone who couldn't understand it must have been as thick as two short planks.

Easy for the average person to understand alright. But then again, 49.99999999999...............% of people are thicker than the average person.

does his letter writing to the isrealis on offical Seanad paper (give it the air of an offical letter) asking for clemency for his ,ate riding a 15year old not mitigate all the "time" you have for me?


What would he have to do for you to give up that "lot of time"?


In case you want to point out the legal age for consent is 16 and 15 isn't that much below it - Norris's pal was 40 at the time which is horrible stuff.


norris should have been thrown out of irish society for this.

i voted to retain the Seanad I think it's a good thing for us to have.


We have folks like failed TD and lads dining out on state wages like Norris but we do get gems like Fergal Quinn too.



We were promised Seanad reform which I'd like to see. Personally i'd like to see Seanad being more independent and less of the party political wasteland that it is.

He did say that it was common practice in Ancient Greece for an older man to take charge of young men and educate them in the ways of the world.

She is already an elected councillor and the chairperson for the green party I'd say she will make a run at being a TD, no need for her to go for Seanad at least not yet

True enough. And of course she has her partner's TD's salary to help her to make ends meet while living rent-free in the Mansion House!

"I cannot understand how anybody could find children of either sex in the slightest bit attractive sexually ... but in terms of classic paedophilia, as practised by the Greeks, for example, where it is an older man introducing a younger man to adult life, there can be something said for it. Now, again, this is not something that appeals to me.

"Although, when I was younger, I would have greatly relished the prospect of an older, attractive, mature man taking me under his wing, lovingly introducing me to sexual realities, treating me with affection, teaching me about life."

I know what a capital letter and an apostrophe is though.

You are probably one of the people who got confused by it, wouldn't surprise me really if this was the case.

Not so great on singular v plural.

You mean he didn't flip when he used official Seanad paper to ask for clemency for his pedophile boyfriend? Or when he openly advocated for pedophilia when he said that the age of consent should apply to gays?
