Irish politics in a nutshell

  1. Who shows up at any company and demands a meeting with anyone?

    If someone showed up randomly at my company demanding a meeting I’d have security turf them out.

  2. People were angry about a decision made by AIB, people voiced the concerns, Politicians across the board complained, AIB folded to public and political pressure.
    Somehow people are now angry that it was successful.

  3. I always remember hearing that our local TD, back when I was a kid, would check who was at the top of housing list for the next month and would ring to let them know he’d organised a house for them ahead of time, so they could expect to be rehomed in the next few weeks due to his intervention. Lifelong voter guarantee.

  4. You’re all slagging them, but it’s more than any other fucker in the Dáil did. I’d vote for them in a heartbeat if I was in their constituency.

  5. This is what Independent TD’s should really be doing. You can’t criticise them for that or the harmless photo op.

  6. Normally I hate when people automatically accuse politicians of doing a “PR stunt” or doing something just for the sake of social media but this is the most blatant PR stunt I have seen. You don’t rock up to a company and demand a meeting with the senior management. Just reeks of arrogance or something, ew

  7. This is what I hate about Irish politics. Three of the worst people that we have. Just populists with no redeeming qualities.

  8. If AIB hasn’t gone cashless and they don’t go there, how the fuck do you expect them to get their brown paper bags… won’t someone _please_ think of the TD’s!!!

  9. Politicians or not, if someone turned up at my office demanding a meeting with me, they would be waiting a long time.

    Unless it was an genuine emergency, something important or a superior of mine, then they can book an appointment like anyone else or wait and fuck off.

  10. The people of Kerry — inarticulate culchie screeching — government fatcats — inarticulate culchie screeching — bankers — inarticulate culchie screeching — for the people of rural ireland — inarticulate culchie screeching — Mister Taoiseach?
