  7. Honestly lads, take Leo and his little smug shite hawk face off the list.

  10. Varadker

    The most damaging and dangerous “leader” of this country I’ve seen in my lifetime

    Edit: his Young FG downvote/upvote manipulators are up early this morning

  13. Enda Kenny needs to go. Always reminded me of a used car salesman. A complete pleb.

  15. Definitely Haughey. One of the most unchecked corrupt people in Irish history.

    People can dislike the likes of Varadkar but Haughey was a league of his own in corruption

  16. Little point in holding a vote, just eliminate the Taoiseagh of the last 30 years. People romanticise the past while holding recent Taoiseagh to higher standards.

  22. Michael Martin being here is funny. Chap didn’t even seen like a real Taoiseach.

  23. The last surviving taoiseach is going to be the most obscure one

  24. I cannot believe every vote here isn’t for DeValera. He set off Ireland on _completely_ the wrong foot. Most of the problems Irish society can be laid at his door.

  27. There is some recency bias here tbh. Before Lemass we had some cleric loving protectionists who ran the country into the ground post independence, for example.

  28. Dev. His Ultra-Conservative religious fundamentalism set the country back decades. We’re only just starting to emerge from the grip of Catholic dogma.

  32. Petition to get the Red X more pronounced on Bertie please. It doesn’t do him justice

  34. Brian Cowen. Asking people to tighten their belts…who was tightening that feckers belt?

  35. WT Cosgrave – 77 Irish men executed by his government. Bear in mind that the Brits only executed 14 volunteers during the War of Independence

  37. Dev! He literally held back our country’s development to keep it as some twee American nightmare stereotype with girls dancing at the crossroads.

  38. Biffo, get him out, orcistrated the bond buy out of the banks and brought the country to it knees.

  39. You can thank Dev for that and the execution of Michael Collins.

  41. Can we now do a double header and remove Biffo & Leo at the same time? Please?….

  42. Dev next please. He wanted most children (not his own of course) to only have a primary education. He pretty much caused the Civil War after hiding out in America for most of it and there was also dodginess over the ownership of the Irish Press Newspaper. Funds he raised in the US for the cause were used to set it up but he somehow came to own it
    It’s mainly his fault that we don’t have 19th century census data. What wasn’t destroyed in the Four Courts, he pulped for newsprint during the Emergency.
    Then there was his stupidity for visiting the German Legation to offer his condolences. Talk about not reading the room…
