hmmm
it should have been up a long time back, but there are enough people in Ireland
who are:
1 Too lazy to vote
2. Too lazy to vote for some other party
3. friendly with all these guys
4. Looking for a favour from these guys

The politics of buying a pint after the polling might be (all but) gone, but
people still want to elect the same people
Q. Why was Jackie Healy Rae elected
1. He was someone else (not in a Party)
2 but he was also still a Fianna Failer at heart (like Neil Blaney, etc.)

Q. Why was his constituency mate (can't remember her name, the labour TD) elected

A. Daddy was a TD there for years  (see Dick Spring, your one in Mayo, your one
Fox in Wicklow, your man in Cork etc. etc.)

Its Irish politics - it has hardly changed in 70 years - why do you reckon there
sneaky little game is over now?
They will be playing it for years unless you change the mindset of the voters...
