    Dr. Noel Browne would be the politician I would most like to vote for but cannot.

    It would be naive to ask "Do you remember when Irish politicians had integrity?", but thanks to him you can say "Do you remember there was an Irish politician who had integrity".
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

    Ming The Mersulus in Galway.
    If you're in the penalty area and don't know what to do with the ball, put it in the net and we'll discuss the options later

    AFAIK he has returned to Co. Roscommon, his birthplace, and has been elected onto some sort of county Council or other (open to correction) but he has definately left Galway of that i am sure.

    Joe Higgins once slept in my bad i wasn't alive when he did though. my father used to be in the labour party(before they sold out as he would say) and was good friends with him back then. he'd be the only politician i'd respect cos he's the only one who seems like he's not out for his good and he's quite the satirist as well. even though i know f*ck all bout his constituency i'm shocked he didn't keep his seat.

    John Perry's in the good books too cos he always gives us a decent christmas present

    If Ming ever gets it's legalised he'll be a shoe-in for taoiseach in my opinion

    my house, my friend was interviewing him for the SWP paper and he spoke well of local issues, especially his fight to get rid of phone masts near schools and in petrol stations, made a fan out of me anyway

    Good to see that he's talking to that paper.
    Maybe Partisan can enlighten me as to the point but having the SP, WP and SWP seems pointless to me.

    Ádhamh is ‘Adam-from-the-Bible’ Adam. The Adam in surnames and placenames is usually Adam, like Baile Adaim/Adamstown (even though the stone sign the developers put up says Baile Mhic Ádhaimh ).

    Whether people should actually bother gaelicizing planter surnames is another story.

    Yeah I know people who would be very anti-Fine Gael who always vote for Bruton. Very good politician and devoted to the constituency.

    Kind of like Ian Paisley.
