Don’t be surprised if a good few retiring Fine Gael TDs, by the way, end up with new jobs in the NGO sector once the next election is over.
Request for free vote refused
Independents and Others have intrinsic value, but very often votes parked in that column are votes that are really saying “I have nothing and nobody to vote for”.
“I don’t make any apologies”: Irish government TD and former Justice Minister Charlie Flanagan says that a woman is “an adult female human,” and that the phrase “far-right” is too often “bandied about” in modern politics. #gript

Sinn Fein face a much steeper climb to power than is presently being assumed.
With the departure of Richard Bruton, and his generation, we may well be entering an era of shorter political careers, more radical policy shifts, and more volatile elections.
you’d be foolish to bet heavily against our current crop of Ministers, minus maybe the Greens, getting another go at this.
And it’s hardly surprising if they don’t know what a woman is, because they don’t seem at all certain on what an adult is, either.
“People will ultimately judge us by how well we’ve worked together.”
