Watching our TDs at work in the Dáil always makes me so proud of our democracy

1. Any gobshite can get elected

2. Fuck me, he can barely string a few words together… lol

3. ….What the fuck did he just say?

4. How did he get from the bench to sitting on the ceann comhrla seat so quickly?

5. The strongest argument for alcohol prohibition I’ve ever seen

6. Ceann Comhairle’s smirk has me in fucking stitches

7. You know how loads of people are scared of public speaking. Then this guy has the confidence to stand in the Dáil and yap away like that

8. Now I wouldn’t know about any of that sort of thing.
   Because I’m a man.

9. The time Bin Laden was caught I worked in Clonmel, there was a joke that Bin Laden was buried at sea so Mattie couldn’t turn up at his funeral

10. u/savevideo

11. I think I’ve just got over my fear of public speaking

12. Bloody hell. I think it’s time we introduce minimum requirements for entering politics.

13. What the actual holy fuck did that highly paid public servant just vomit out from his mouth?

14. Oh Matty you gobshite

15. Lads, can whoever owns him please come and collect him?

16. We are not sending our best and brightest

17. He sounds like the end of the Paddy Losty voice clip – expecting him to be going on about Maureen’s fry and taking shirts (Daz fresh) off any man’s back

18. How anyone with a functioning brain could vote for Mattie McGrath stumps me. A poster child for getting rid of democracy.

19. Anyone know how much we pay him?

20. Taking the scenic route to the point.

21. A poet

    >… is not transparent. We will see this when all the dirty linen is washed. If the clothes were hanging out on the line on a good summer’s day like today they would be fairly well stained. They would need the washing machine and Daz or whatever is used now. They have gone away from Daz. I am not saying that I am a bad homemaker and I do not do some washing but I am not up to speed with the capsules that go into the washing machine. It used to be Surf and Daz when I was a duine óg. The Ceann Comhairle will also remember them. We have a lot of clearing up to do. The Bill is not fit for purpose…

22. Reads title. It must be Mattie McGrath. Watches video. Yup.

23. What the fuck..

    This feels like having a stroke

24. It makes me incredibly patriotic to be able to make out every word he just said, understanding the words does the opposite

25. If you read the transcript you would think he was having a stroke.

26. Is he pissed?

27. We actually watched that man at work.
    He’s doing his job and that man is paid to do what he just did.

28. he seems to be having a stoke. why isnt anyone calling an ambulance?

29. How fuckin drunk is this guy

30. He gets paid more than me 😭

31. I don’t get these comments, he sounded perfectly understandable to me, talking shite as well as any man should be able to.

    Though maybe I’ve just spent too much time in Tipp.

32. I can’t tell if Ó Fearghaíl is smiling because he is cringing so hard or if he is proud of himself for remembering Daz.

33. Lads, seriously. It was funny for a while but can we stop voting for complete gobshites. I’d settle for just 75% gobshites right now.

34. I must admit I was very very very drunk…

35. Flawed as our democracy is, all you have to do is look at our nearest neighbour to see how much worse it could be. They’ve been making our lot look stellar for at least a decade now.

36. “Ederidaydadidodordidoodoo”

37. He’s a f**king embarrassment

38. He’s in the pocket of Big Detergent
