Former Prime Minister Brian Cowen goes to college in America – to study management

WoundedKnee you are just an ignorant Tea Party hack. Take an ignorant pathetic Yankee seriously when he talking about our country....nah I rather puke. Keep your racist/intolerant views in your own country do not attempt to export them to our country

Isn't it weird how some Irish posters, such as ciaradexy, sirpeter and now dingle, put forward "I am Irish" as the only reason we should take their opinions seriously? Guys, Ireland has just as high a percentage of fools and dopes as any other country--you three provide specific examples. Why not try to argue with rationality and logic rather than petulantly screaming "I demand you take me seriously, I am Irish"?

"You yourself can't even rub two words together in Irish. Shame on you." WoundedKnee aka GeorgeRedmond aka sillyYankee at least I am Irish

dingle: You're right. They speak more Irish in Georgia than do the hypocrites and professional gaeilgeoiri (the ones who have their hands out for government subventions) in your dumpy Dingle! You yourself can't even rub two words together in Irish. Shame on you.

Thanks ciaradexy for the info... He is from Georgia that explains everything :)) They probably speak Irish in their sleep there....

Is this not a case of locking the stable when the horse has bolted. A case of retrospective requalification to learn what one should have done contemporanously but didn't because they couldn't. That career politicians needn't be qualified says a lot about the state of the state. Despite being a qualified accountant, I fear Brian was used by the Mé-Féiner soldiers of fortune within the Failed Fianna as someone naive enough to manipulate. Bertie was devious and cunning enough to jump ship when he intuited everything was going to go pearshaped. One question remains unanswered. Who exactly in Dáil Éireann did Beverly Flynn sell National Irish Bank (NIB) tax avoidant Caymen Islands offshore investments products to?

Dingle, WoundedKnee is indeed American. Hes from Savannah in Georgia. He also goes by the name George Dillon on this iste and on the Indo site hes Kev408. A mate of mine from Argentina who has been living here 8 years is getting her Irish citizenship on the 30th. We are gonna have some party! She has contributed more to Ireland in 8 years than George has during his holidays here.

WoundedKnee you probably lived in the Blasket Islands in a tent for two days talking to the birds there... You are an American with 'some' Irish genealogy.. For us real Irish that does not make you a 'pure' Irish person. You were born and reared (and you have the same opinions as the racist Tea Party) in America... You are indeed a conservative American. Oh now you slagging off the people of the Dingle Peninsula Eamonn ó Cuiv would be proud of you... And idiot I spent 5 years in secondary school learning Irish - looks like you went to public school in America your comprehension skills are very low... I have a new name for you 'Bill "the Butcher" Cutting'.. Funny you are a Gaelic nativist yet you do not live in my country and to boot you are a foreigner... Seriously next time you are in Ireland come down to Dingle and state the people of Dingle are frauds... Anyway Slainte Foreigner I am going out now to listen to some good Irish trad music in the Irish town I live... you cannot do that as yourself reside in a foreign country.. but wait it is foreign to me but to you it is HOME. See you Yankee if you are up late I give you a report on the trad music ...

dingle999: Not only have I lived in Ireland, I am an Irish citizen. I'll wager I know a lot more about Ireland than you do, judging by the level of your contributions here. And I represent the views of approximately 70% of my fellow-citizens, because that's about the number who express opposition to the settlement of their country by foreign migrants on the rare occasions that they are consulted about this. You're in the minority, you have a right to your racist opinions supporting unlimited colonization of Ireland by foreigners, but have some respect for the majority of Irish people. As to your inability in Irish, turns out I was quite right in my initial diagnosis--you live in an area that quite falsely claims to be Irish-speaking in order to get government hand-outs, yet you can't speak a word of the language. Mo naire thu, a chladhaire.

wow, this is good entertainment! Love the Americans here in Connemara.

WoundedKnee - You are an American right ? Have you ever LIVED in Ireland Yes or No ? . (you can plead the 5th Amendment ) No comment on what I wrote "You are like the racist character from the film 'Gangs of New York' who despised emigrants (including the Irish) coming off the boats in New York .. WoundedKnee.. you are so pathetic I had to learn Irish for my Junior/Leaving Certificate... Next time you are in Dingle on a holiday let's meet up .. myself and the locals need some good comedy... Please tell me you do not talk like Sarah Palin

What a ludicrous piece of work you are, dingle. What's this about Muslims? I never mentioned Muslims, you crazy racist. Or did my reference to Palestinians confuse you? I guess you're too ignorant to know that a lot of Palestinians are Christian, though regardless of Christian or Muslim, the sad state of the Palestinians shows what happens to a people who are supplanted in their ancient homeland by foreign settlers. How long have you been living in Dingle? How come you never went to the bother of learning some Irish? You're some sad advertizement for "multiculturalism", can't even write a sentence in Irish. And what the hell does Australian Immigration policy have to do with Ireland? You show your utter ignorance in this, too, since Australian immigrration policy is far stricter than is the the Open Door policy that the corrupt Fianna Failers (your slumlord buddies) implemented in Ireland.

WoundedKnee calling me a clown now.. You are an American right ? Have you ever LIVED in Ireland Yes or No ? . You are like the racist character from the film 'Gangs of New York' who despised emigrants (including the Irish) coming off the boats in New York ... ------------ "I bet he's one of the English-speakers who have settled the gaeltacht area and refused to learn the language of the people." Now you are the liar and an ignorant idiot and I live in the town .. the locals would get a great laugh listening to you... "People like dingle have almost killed the Irish language in Corcha Dhuibhne" Another lie ... all the young people have emigrated... and foreigners (like you ) from America brought summer houses in the region ... I bet you cannot stand Muslims/ foreigners in your own country.. You have issues... please keep your sad twisted views of Ireland to yourself... BTW what about all the Irish who are currently allowed into Australia ? Yep in your eyes they should all be deported.. I like the Irish you typed... Google Translation is indeed great but it does not make you Irish

Dingle doesn't understand the relevance of my ID. Lol - amadán .. I am a very left wing liberal .. BTW amadan there is no mass migration to Ireland .. Who the ** want to come here ? there is mass emigration of young people leaving Ireland. If I am 'dopey' God Know what that make you.. BTW in relation to Palestine .. go and complain to your Congressman.. US policy towards Israel has a blame for the situation

Dingle doesn't understand the relevance of my ID. Wounded Knee was an event that showed what can happen to a people which is unable to resist Mass Immigration into its territories. Dopey dingle doesn't get that. Let me put it simply for you. If you think Mass Immigration is a good idea, dingle, ask an American Indian. Or a Palestinian.
