  1. She loses the room when she starts shouting over others. Then the SF guy retaliates and it deteriorates to a shouting match. I’m none the wiser as to any of their views

    Once again PBP looking like the reasonable adults in the room trying to keep some order while the rest shout and argue like children. The country is fucked lads.

  3. People like this never seem to realise how much their behaviour weakens their argument even when they have legitimate points

    I can’t listen to people speaking over each other like that. Wish they’d have a bit of respect

    Like watching a UFC Press Conference. Eejits shouting each other down and talking over each other. And in the end I’m none the wiser why one side believes they’ve got the advantage over the other. Absolutely ridiculous and a bad look for either side of the argument.

    It’s absolutely fucked that he used ‘that conspiracy line,’ to her face and then looks into the sky as he shouts ‘aaaannnny,’ so she cant bring it up on record in front of the group. Absolutely disgusting behaviour.

     Surely nobody in the country would vote for this lad…….. He’s a straight asshole in this clip. 

  7. you’d be shocked how some TDs treat committees, basically don’t engage in the committees role but come in to pull a political stunt like this to attack another party

    A bunch of people sitting across from them waiting for a question to be asked. Terrible waste of time.

    The Sinn Fein individual was extremely unprofessional. He’s in a workplace setting. Anyone working within the private sector would be lucky to still have a job behaving that way.

    His body language and all was extremely dismissive. That should not be condoned.

    Yes, Lynn Ruane need to watch the shouting also. There is a professional way to communicate and its not that

  10. Unfortunately this is par for the course in the national parliament for many years now. Lynn is not the only offender, but she never seems inclined to listen to alternative opinions. As to the suggestion that predatory drug dealers are the same group as vulnerable users, many of who become addicts as they try to escape trauma and hardship, is nonsense. It’s a pity, because she is articulate and a great example to young people from less privileged backgrounds of what hard work and an honest living can achieve. But the shouting over others turns me off.

    Who is that absolute fuckin dose who won’t shut up when someone else is talking? Number one rule of a normal conversation is let someone finish talking before you respond.

    Not even 15 seconds into the fella giving a response and she’s going full Aoife McGregor. Whatever your stance is just let the others fuckin have their allocated time. Christ.

  12. Sinn Fein membership is all over the place on this issue. A lot of people have progressive views on the issues, but there’s an old guard that’s still convinced that even cannabis is the devil’s lettuce and that sellers should be shot.
