No that's not it, I'm from Kerry myself. But fair play for jumping to conclusions. I mean that people elect politicians with whom they can associate.
and why do youdiarmuidc said:You get what you deserve.
..have to wonder about the people of North Tipp.

Apologies for jumping to conclusions. I must read your posts more clearly in future before replying.
That said, I'm still a little puzzled, though.
What did you mean when you said and why do you
yerrah you're alright lad, dont take it to heart, I'm a mucksavage too, but at least ye get to win the All-Ireland every other year
Mas?it's Ok, I Would Probably Have Jumped To The Same Conclusion. I Should Have Been More Clear.
We, the people, can hardly complain about the (negative) qualities of our politicians when we elect them, especially when we know their track record before hand. We act all shocked and indignant when a politician racks up a $400 bill in a hair salon or are found to have evaded tax but then we go out and re-elect them.
Of course politicians are going to have the traits listed above because it is rewarded at the ballot box.
Why do you think the opposition partys stance is always that to what public popularity is?
I certainly don't think it's that simple.
Opposition parties will criticise and disagree with the party in power to emphasise their differences more so than anything I would say.
Michael Lowry does quite a lot for North Tipp, he certainly does more than our other FG backbencher and FF junior minister. I suppose he has all the contacts plus that's all he has to concentrate on, he doesn't need to take instructions from a party whip except on major votes.
What happened was we (the public) were to busy looking after our own self interests to really scrutinise the clowns running the country.
I'm sure he does in between lying to the Dail and evading his tax with the help of big business.
He does and I was hoping that people would vote against him last time out as he really shouldn't be representing anybody. I understand that people want someone who produces results, but really do we want someone like this having any power?
Simple answer, no, we don't.
just a personal opinion but I dont think our North Tipp man is in quite the same league as the Ray Burke's, Liam Lawlor's of this world. If the Pope was dealing with Ben Dunne he'd have found it hard to keep his affairs in proper order - Ben was all for a bit of refrigeration business here and an extension there are sure arent we square now .... and hard to argue with a man of such power.
Not saying it was kosher or said politician shouldnt have done better but not as bad, IMHO, are the real gouger stuff of brown envelopes for planning, intimidation, "Mr Insatiable", "will we get a receipt for this", bursting in on business meetings in" their patch", all that stuff.
