As somebody who enjoys the more rabid elements of politics then Ireland, much in the same way it does with its organised crime, offers a genuine operatic vision of how it all plays out. The footage from the Irish Parliament (or Dali in the old Garlic) when they bailed out the banks back in 2008/2009 is a thing of tragic beauty.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance. |

His party the Fine Gael grew out of the Irish fascists, the Blue Shirts in the 1930's . No irony there

The Blueshirt Tory lost the farmer vote. Independent Ireland will probably take lots of seats in the June Elections. There's also another EU referendum in June which will probably be a no vote. All they have to do is ban US vulture funds from buying housing estates and their vote will go back up. They refuse to do it.

I believe there are some politicians and former politicians in the employ of these vulture funds. The whole situation is a disgrace. Where I live the houses barely reach the market before they're sold. A housing association, the corporation or a vulture fund buys it. You might think it great that the corporation or housing association buys it but for some reason we house illegal immigrants from countries with no conflict whatsoever well before our own. I don't know what purpose this is serving but suspect it's to undermine all our dolies on 200 a week with their rent paid. Maybe a day of reckoning is coming for them but I strongly suspect nearly all claim some kind of disability anyway. Anxiety or alcoholism will suffice.

They continue to listen to out of touch NGO's and do not read the room. Leo was never voted in. infact he got in at the 5th count at the last election. The new comer simon harris who is not much better got in on the 15th count. Ridiculous how the voting system is set up. It lets the same old stay on.

No. And I'm quite into politics.

The rot in the politics of the ROI is a big reason the Unionists are vehemently opposed to a United Ireland. And I don't blame them.
