Aibu to be very upset at the way this poor care worker was treated by the Irish Taoiseach? Video in link.

Hi @mollyfolk you're a bit late to the party!
I hope you're enjoying the massive backlash Simon Harris & Fine Gael are getting accross all platforms 😁
Give credit where credit is due to RTE for exposing the Taoiseachs deplorable behaviour towards that poor woman. I don't usually have such warmth towards RTE but they are playing a blinder in the past few days!

I think Trump has displayed similar displays of contempt in the past towards people who have questioned his policies. So yes it's a fair comparison.

Lets see how many seats Aontú plus the Independents get next week @mollyfolk you may be very surprised.. Remember Kamala Harris was supposed to win the US election by a landslide according to the polls. Look how that turned out😅

You're welcome. I don't like this part of their manifesto. It doesn't bother me as they won't be able to change it, they would need the support of the Dáil & it simply won't happen

Us women & mothers would have been eradicated from the constitution if it wasn't for Aontú & like minded independents. They fought hard & achieved a no/no result.

He's not used to unscripted questions. The woman was in super valu, shopping on a Friday opportunity & seized the opportunity to ask Simon Harris a few home truths.

We have every right to hold politicians accountable at every opportunity. We choose them to work for us, we pay their wages through our taxes so we have every right to hold them to task if they are not doing their job.

He was in Kanturk, Co Cork advocating for TD John Paul O Shea. I cannot imagine his seat is safe now & I hope the locals have a good alternative to vote for.
That courageous lady has a wave of global support & good will which shows that arrogance, entitelement & contempt will never be tolerated. Let's hope the support for the carers & all carers continues on Friday & Fine Gael lose a load of seats😁😁

This is a synopsis of Aontú's election manifesto.

For me as a single issue voter it's their strong stance against gender ideology. They are conservative which I think the country needs at the moment, they are committed to repealing the Gender Recognition Act & protecting female spaces & sports.

Aontú are quite rightly horrified at the new sphe programme & have pledged to make it age & content appropriate for children & teenagers.

Also they were ferociously strong during the care & family referendum, they were the only party to be on winning side of the No/No vote.

Sinn Féin said at the time if they were to get into power they would rerun the care & family referendums if the Yes side lost. This immediately rang warning bells for me as we are supposed to be a democracy, how many million would SF waste rerunning the referendums if they got into power.

I like Peadar Toibíns common sense, no nonsense, anti woke approach. He's a formidable debator & holds all the others to task at ease in the Dáil.

I basically want the opposite of the shower we have at the moment so that's why I'm voting Aontú, the rest will go to independents. Have no intention of voting all the way down in case anyone I don't want gets in on my transfers!

I'm not shocked at all, the mask slipped.Look at all the waiting lists for children with scoliosis under FF/FG, their poor parents are begging for help & it's falling on deaf ears.

Cervical cancer scandal?
Children's hospital?

This incident could not have happened at a better time, the backlash is immense & with the help of God FG will be voted out on Fri (or lose a healthy amount of seats SH's seat included)

Why? Trump treats people who challenge him with similar distain to the way Simon Harris treated that poor woman.
No wonder FF, FG, SD, PBP & Labour want a hate speech Bill passed at all costs as they want to police speech & tell people what to think just as Simon did so ineloquently in that video which has gone viral globally. They don't want anyone speaking out.
Fair fucks to RTE for sharing it especially if it costs FG the election or at the very least stops a few FG TDs getting seats 😂

Aontú at least are extremely gender critical & want the Gender Recognition Act reversed. I'm a single issue voter who is shocked at how captured the main parties are with gender identity so I am delighted to have Aontú to vote for. This quote from RTE sums it up!

But he would have the self awareness to know he was being filmed & I think he'd act accordingly .. He's brutal also. Very glad I have Aontú to vote for. Peadar Toibín would never have been so ignorant..
Harris is Taoiseach in name only. That video has gone viral globally, what an embarrassment for Ireland. And people cribb about Trumps behaviour, Harris is no better...

I like Gripts account of his despicable behaviour. Simon Harris's mask slipped big time & hopefully he will get what he deserves & gets the boot on Friday.
Between his (& Fine Gaels) firm belief in Gender Ideology & that men can be woman on top of his contempt towards this woman he is no friend of females. Vote them out!!!!

@Anothermathstest Simon Harris has forgetten his place. We the people employ him, he works for us. We reward him through votes for service (& through our taxpayers money!) well done to that strong lady for reminding him exactly who he works for!

Bumping this.

He was so cold & unemotional. Then walked back at her passive aggressively before walking off on her. As much as I dislike Michael Martin he would have handled it very differently. I can imagine Mary Lou or Peadar Toibin also being sympathetic & compassionate.
The way he completely invalidated her feelings is despicable. It will cost him.

@ChimneyPot what do you make of his treatment of that poor woman tonight?
