Im a liberal. Im however not a liberal that thinks tax and spend is the solution to everything.

Somewhere along the line liberal started mean everything should be paid for by the 'rich'.

So, what did the garda HR lad do? Or not do?

I voted 1- 2 Casey -Higgins.

It was a no brainer. Give FG a kick up the hole without doing any real damage.

And I very much hope they see where their electorate is after the aforementioned kick.

FG will see that 20% as votes they already have. FG can look to their right and see one party of former FGers on less than 1% of the vote. To the left they will find the sixty odd percent they don't have. They basically won't give a shit about your little protest. It just means we'll get another unqualified loudmouth pulling the same stunt in 7 years time. Or probably less as 7 years is a long time for a really old man.

Somebody get this lad a job with the Journal

John Downing starts the conversation in a measured way in today’s Indo.

I know it’s hard to believe but I really miss Enda Kenny, a colossus compared to Varadkar.

Plenty of idiots end up doing very well, remember George W “do not misunderestimate me”

Have a look at Una Mullallys tweet on the election. It highlights everything that is wrong with the IT.

You’re not an economic liberal and that’s the main thing

Could you not just tell us what she said rather than have us trawl through her twitter history....

Why, there is a massive problem with the knackers culture and our government and media reinforce it.

..[/We think we’re great, but Ireland is not immune to the horrible, barrel-scraping, lowest common denominator spoofery and anti-Traveller grossness that Casey spouted. We need to stand up against that. And to those who didn’t vote - COP YIZZER SELVES ON FFS.

She reposts some lad Philip who thinks the media gave Casey a free ride and he says dignity a bit and then fúck in the last post to let us know he is serious. She uses YIZZER in her own post. She also presumes all the people who didn't turn out would have voted for a person with Ruth Coppingers head, Clare Dalys hair, Mick Wallaces chest and Brid's legs.

She was obviously hitting the vino.

Shes such a massive cùnt.

We desperately need more centre/right journalists to stop any further hijacking of the media by people who account for a fraction of the voting electorate

We have a few but not enough - I have enjoyed Brendan Burgess talking on financial issues and Carl Dieter also.

So only 10% of the Irish voting age population fell for Caseys crap (40% abstained completely) . Not a bad result

Can't we just agree that both Mullaly and Casey are idiots?

In so far as all the candidates were awful, it’s the “right” result.

We all know that Mickey D can do the meet and greet during the Six Nations with minimal fuss.
Sure, he’s dining out in style on taxpayers cash but, like all the others wouldn’t?
As has been pointed out, paying him a salary costs less than paying his pension along with a presidential salary for somebody else.
That said, we might have to pay for another vote sooner than seven years.

As much as I’m delighted a message has been sent to the travellers from one fifth of the country, I couldn’t bring myself to give that spoofer Casey a vote.
He might even have gotten in with the lazy turnout if enough people did a protest vote.
He has made an obvious and necessary point that no other politician or media type has the balls to do, but the role of president is a figure head with no power.

While the debate on travellers is long overdue, a populist opportunist is not somebody who deserves to represent Ireland. God knows what else he is capable of.

Not bothering to vote is not the same as abstaining. 1 in 5 voters voted for an anti-PC candidate. That’s the bottom line.

Will you go away and shite for yourself. Its exactly the same as abstaining

Wrong. Abstaining is taking a conscious decision not to vote on protest grounds when that person would otherwise have voted. There is a second cohort who had no intention of ever voting and will not vote in the future either. Due to the poor quality of the field the first cohort was higher than normal in this election but you’re conflating the two cohorts to try to force through a dubious point.

Indeed. Get off your arse and in to the polling station and spoil your vote if you want to make that point b

So young people choose which elections to vote in. No #cominghometovote.

There should be overseas voting for all Irish citizens for all elections.
After all, not everybody left the country by choice.

100% disagree. Some guy living in Bondi should not have a say on how I’m governed.

I'm not sure we're well equipped for this and it'll be quickly overcome by dingbats of all colours.

No representation without taxation.

That’s a slogan but not much of an argument.

We have to have it.

Casey seems to be backing away from every view he's come to represent in this interview

People who fùcked off when things got tough get no say in how the country is run until they come back and start contributing

Agree. Enjoy your couple of years in the sun contributing to some other economy but don’t expect a say in how those of us that stayed live

I’m less concerned about the traveller debate, than I am about the more important point Casey actually made ..... about dependency culture generally.

No doubt the left will look to tar the 20% as racists, whereas they’re mostly just pissed off taxpayers who are sick of paying for everything

No doubt, but there is an unhealthy narrative being populated, pretending that the whole country bar a few bigots think that travellers are all right on but a bit misunderstood, full of fantastic culture that would enrich the rest of us if only they weren’t so oppressed. It’s good that the truth of the matter is starting to be heard and I reckon the figure of 20 percent on the matter is a lot lower than the reality of
what I expect the majority of people feel.
