Big Strike on the Way from HSE .If Soc Dems go in with them they will get Health the Sick Ministry .Donnolly was hated by every other TD .Independent ,then Soc Dem then FF .He played the field for himself .Nobody in FF will be crying to see him gone .

Second Election Next year FF/FG /Ladour/Soc Dems plus a few Indies or Greens .Mick Healy Wray and Danno for Minister for Mayhem .Wont Last .Very low turnout when there was no option but to return either FF or FG as part of any new coalition .Could somebody Play their Joker .FF or FG just say if the Shinners get the most seats You go ahead and sort it out with FF and FG both playing for their identity by refusing to go back into power togeather again .

Jaysus John m !  You have a serious phobia about more elections !!

Dublin central always held a labour seat with Costello for many years, so sherlock should keep it for a while

Hopefully! It's great to see a new generation of both Labour and SD TDs emerge... or maybe they just look like youngsters 'cos I'm just getting very old! Anywaysanall, long may it last.

I remember when I was a member of the Connolly Youth in the mid 70 s Labour Leader Brendan Corish was the only elected member with a Third Level education .Todays Socialists are all Professional career driven Politicians not really concerned with Economics just Sociological Change Gay rights Abortion ,Divorce .Trans.Immigration .Most of them couldnt explain what a tracker mortgage is .GDP or GNP .

I think that the majority of the people who voted,should be ashamed of themselves.Maybe some of the votes were rigged.Surprised that McEntee gets higher first count .Up from 7k to 10k?….Roddy gettin in in the darkness of night?The Prime Minister doubling his vote?Hutch loosing on last count?….I dont think you can prove any rigging,especially when the Gardai were taken off ballot box guarding through the night?

The Labour cunts are mostly teachers who work half the year, and do nixers the rest. When elected the old job is kept open for them.

Looks like a lifetime of work and commitment to worthwhile cause to me, a lot more than I can say for myself, and being a politician must be a nightmare of a life. Look at the price Harris paid for a lapse of patience, presumeably after a long day's campaigning..

I dunno…Some people call getting up from a seat  working.Politicians get very well paid with huge pensions and can retire from that lifestyle if they want to.I suppose Labour is not a working class movement any more since most of the industrial jobs went from the strikes .

You don't think that people who work are working class, regardless of occupation?

[Rat Catcher]

Teaching is a vocation, I guess. Probably falls somewhere between a working class trade and a middle class profession on that basis... maybe upper working class with lower working class wages?
