That was an absolutely savage indictment of the government. And she didn’t raise her voice or do anything like that. FF and FG don’t really understand issues like housing and how they affect people.
Yo can I buy her a fucking pint.
She is absolutely correct. The free market is prioritised over people. The FFGs of this country view us not as citizens but as consumers.
Its amazing how someone talking sense is so out there. What a hero she is and it’s a pity those silver spooned dickheads get away with so much.
Up with this sort of thing. ✌️💚
Yep and to be fair she right, government has failed in a solution for the issues
Martin and Varadkar. Two wankers!
And people were defending them saying protesters outside their house were disgraceful. Let these pricks feel uncomfortable for once in their lives. Do you think they give a shite about lads outside the Dail when they drive by them in their garda escorted car?
The two wankers are fine with landlords making people homeless. Literally kicking people on the street and these two pricks stand up for the landlords.
They are rolling their eyes when she speaks, they have heard the same accusation for a while but know that no consequences will be held against them!
They will NEVER apologise for the situation they have created , and none of the solution they are offering will resolve the problem in a short term!
It’ll be more independents like her that will take more seats from the fffg next election. And what an uplifting effect it will have on the state
We are the strangest race on the planet. We roll out the red carpet for visitors but treat our own people like dirt. You would need a serious group of psychologists to figure it out.
What an powerful speech
They will retort that they are doing everything they can to solve those problems and feel for the people suffering said problems then also say those problems don’t exist or the information is manipulated by Sinn Fein and it’s Sinn Fein who are to blame.
They either don’t care or as long as they are comfortable, they can weather the storms they have so expertly woven. Eire be damned!
She’s not wrong.
I generally don’t get involved in politics nor do I care to comment generally about it but this time I have go agree.
What a gem she is
She’s spot on.
Look at those 2 weasels sitting side by side.
Clear as day that neither of them give a flying fuck about your mother, father, sister, brother, wife, husband or child being on a trolley for 7 days.
Won’t happen to their flock so they don’t give a rats arse.
We’ve had a housing issue for years.
We’ve had hospital issues for years.
Neither have seen any real improvement!
One of the few politicians I could see adequately replacing Michael D
I have given this woman my #1 in every election I’ve voted in. She’s a saint. Good on you, Cat.
God I love her.
Well said Catherine
A legend
I’m not downplaying the power of her speech, not at all.
But I’ve been hearing the same argument time and time again for almost 2 decades. This isn’t a statement against what she said, it’s one for it, and for how little progress has actually been made over the past few decades of the Fianna Fail and Fine Gael political pendulum.
I can’t imagine anything will change in my lifetime. Politics and those in power, which ever country it is, seems to be about keeping the rich rich, and the poor poorer. While the dick heads vote the same ones in time and time again because “this time things will be different”. There is zero accountability from the politicians who respond to this type of argument with the usual “we’re doing the best we can”. Absolute fucking shambles.
Is neoliberalism the root of our problems, how do we shirk it if it is the case?
It only seems like a wet week ago when she condemned NATO for their so-called involvement in the Russian invasion of Ukraine and blamed the entire lot on men. And this sub hated her.
Looks like she’s back en vogue here.
She’s not wrong.
Some of the comments in here, Holy jaysus…..
Class act, there.
Ah so she’s back in r/ireland ‘s good books again? Despite the sense she talks sometimes I’m still pissed at her comments regarding victims of war
Fantastic speech.
👏👏
How will I buy I house when I get older? I’m already pretty certain I’ll move out of the country looking at the current stat of things
Fair fucks to her
I love this lady.
I don’t know who she is.
But i can see a warm heart when i see it.
Ricky bobby twins on the bench, i could care less about.
Leo has that same “shut the fuck up” look he always has when people like her are talking about the problems common people are facing in Ireland.
She certainly packed a lot into 155 seconds! Wow!
Lies!!! She used 2 minutes 01 seconds.
> neoliberalism bad
> upvotes please
You lads do remember her nigh unhinged tirade about how NATO was responsible for Russia’s actions in Ukraine, bordering on defense of Russia’s actions which she pivoted to “oh yes, men are the problem by the way” once I presume she realised where her statement was going. Throwing in a little “men bad” as practically a reflex like the second-wave feminist grift demanded then and demanded now.
She doesn’t make invalid points, and is likely by far a better representative for her constituents than an empty FF/SF/FG suit would be, but much like Mick Wallace having a go at the yanks for being backward fucks a stopped clock can be right from time to time. But its still stuck in the past catering to just another brand of crusty old fucks who have multiple decades of baggage and no capacity to plan beyond their nose.
Damn. I wish we had more people representing their constituents instead of pandering to corporations and the rich.
Love how eloquent she is
What exactly does neoliberalism mean?
She is not wrong.
I like her general mojo but what is she referring to when she says that our healthcare polices are neo liberal?
Are we now reposting this daily?
She’s so right,listen to her unless you want to inherit the US problems except without the US unlimited money cheat.
Great speech and she’s right. I know this is in the context of the confidence vote. But what are her proposals to fix the housing crises?
Fair play. She’d played the ball, not the man. I wish we had more like her on both sides of the Dáil. I’m sick of the petty squabbles and “gotcha” politics. No one benefits. And it distracts from the real issues.
She is the adult in the room.
It’s disheartening that intelligent, insightful, caring people like that are in government and yet it’s the greedy eejits pulling the strings, but at least she’s there. Hopefully momentum will build

Take a bow that woman
The normality of all this. FFFG are scum
