Pearse Doherty Budget Speech 2012

[@montpelier42d]

Brillant speech. Well done, Pearse Doherty.

[@mamags123]

Wow this young man will go places, we need him in government, brains and brawn.

[@AnGhaeilge]

Probably one of the best speeches ever in the Dáil. Pearse is a future leader of Sinn Féin surely.

[@MrMrMcguinness]

You could make a movie on that speech it was so good

[@PMcA90]

Pearse Doherty is the best politican in the Dáil. The only one who knows what the people want and when he becomes Taoiseach We will have a just republic.

[@JeanySullivan]

oh thank you, that sounds very promising!

[@Culbertosilva]

This man is the future of this country...no longer can people hold the past of Sinn Fein against them as they are the only ones that have an idea of what the future should be about..FACT

[@larrydelamb]

he signed an exploration deal with royal dutch shell in 1992. Truthfully civil servants wern't even allowed into the office.

[@paddyd65]

what a star.makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. god he's good.

[@CrazyIrishDrunk1]

Pearse Doherty, without a doubt, will be leader of Sinn Fein whenever Gerry Adams steps down.

[@phoenix1916]

what a great comment fair play!

[@mickupthecelts2k9]

Pearse's closing remarks about the homeless people really moved and angered me, how can politicians like Kenny and Gilmore sit there with their pensions and sallaries worth thousands of euros and tell the ordinary people to pay more taxes and stretch their incomes even more. Have they no shame?

[@bridgetoofar2]

There was a time I hated Sinn Féin but it's the likes of this man that make me want them in power and to sort out the rest of those greedy so and so's!

[@manxmalitia8272]

How are things?

[@JaayyB]

All talk, no action. Just like every Irish politician.

[@republicanshield]

as an american im just wondering why does he switch from english to what i am assuming is gaelic and then back to english?

[@JaayyB]

@chriscolferrocks I wish that were true. But unfortunately I don't think any of us can really understand the massive economic and political pressure our country is under at this moment in time.

[@glassaghman]

Thank god he's a Donegal man cos i was able to vote for him

[@mjakes20]

A Good opposition is just as important as a good Government, and I think they fulfil that role well. However, I don't really think, even given Sinn Fein's outspokenness, that them being elected would change loads. I mean, any party that gets into power becomes part of the political machine, and unfortunately given the fact we are in chains to Europe, it's really hard to reverse it.

[@chriscolferrocks]

@JaayyB Well yes that is true but Sinn Féin have a solid economic policy that has been backed up by ecconomists it will not hit the poorest it will protect them and target those that can pay that bit more so Sinn Féin wouldn't have to make the choices made by FF/FG/Labour.

[@philyB08]

Enda Kenny rubbing his hands ad ignoring Pearse, he's acting a bit ignorant. I loved Pearse's stunt that Enda does, half way through his speach switching to Irish then back to English :D

[@ReeceM45]

Violence is the only way this Is going to change

[@Sportymike]

Bulaí fir Pearse...the only TD you can trust to use our native tongue in the Dáil

[@gerrylala]

The day Pearse Doherty becomes Taoiseach, will be the day Ireland becomes a real republic

[@DANDWYERIRL]

He is a Hero amounst men

[@7orqu3]

Now solutions just like all opposition

[@chriscolferrocks]

@JaayyB well unlike FG/Labour Sinn Féin is not a party that would bend to europe thay would stand firm and lead the Irish people properly and fairly.

[@Mcguigans22]

@SeanOBriain President!?!

[@phoenix1916]

call their bluff big man, they surely cant fuck it up any worse than their predecessors

[@Aeroguns994]

Yeah because the last two governments did sooooo well

[@kenndy1243]

lads were only borrowing to pay unsecured bank bondholders

[@seaniem95]

pearse should be the new sinn féin leader.

[@malachy1847]

@Coltaculuss The answer would have been it wasn't 'Our deficit' to begin with but money we now paying in a mad 'Three Card trick'. Those funds washing up into Anglo, A.I.B.balance sheet were used to fuel the bubble as European Corporate Carpetbaggers looked for a home for same. when the tide truly went out those same Bankers / Bondholders were payed off with an I.M.F. E.C.B.Loan wraped around the necks of the Irish people that's just 'Socialism for the Rich'

[@AnGhaeilge]

@MichaelMikeCollins21 One thing at a time ;)

[@ste45]

Haha....I wonder who that dislike was?

[@cnc91]

Is é todhchaí na hÉireann...maith an fear Pearse!

[@zeus2art]

man this guy is the buisness.....i want him in my corner when the shit hits the fan next year

[@ZzzzeroCool]

@MrDonegalman1 I know Sinn Féin are not the true representation of Irish people.

[@mickupthecelts2k9]

Cur nótaí deiridh Pearse faoi na daoine gan dídean fearg orm, conas is féidir suí polaiteoirí mar Kenny agus Gilmore ann lena n-phinsin agus pá fiú na mílte euro agus insíonn do na gnáthdhaoine a íoc cánacha níos mó agus iad a ioncam stráice fiú níos mó. Nach bhfuil aon náire acu?

[@annmarron77]

go raith maith agat mo chara, labhraionn tu ar son na daoine fior

[@bauer402]

How dare you.

[@alastarter]

to enda. your party and and all r the biggest robbers.

[@chriscolferrocks]

@nrf1010 Jesus Christ, listen to yourself are you for real? It looks like you've stolen a piece out of one of Jim Allisters speeches. A hÍosa Críost, éisteacht leat féin an bhfuil tú ndáiríre? Tá an cuma ar gur ghoid tú cuid de na hóráidí de chuid Jim Allister. Sinn Féin Abú. Beidh Ár Lá Linn,

[@phoenix1916]

Clearly your NOT listening fool! Read their policies
