  • she is a complete waste of money

  • The President of Ireland is a position which has been used to help strengthen connections between communities (in relation to Northern Ireland) and raise awareness if human rights issues, etc. A ordinary politician cannot do these things as well as a president like Ireland's because they are too much associated with controversial issues. The President of Ireland may not be powerful but do not underestimate the influence of the office holder.

  • The Presidency is a complete and utter waste of money. If the post was wrapped up (along with all those shawls) only the blasted elite would mourn its passing, 99.9% of people wouldn't give it a seconds thought.

    Joke of a job with a no joke price tag!

    Abolish it, the Senate and the hundreds of quangos and State bodies - streamline the State for the benefit of the peope! If you want trade missions sent Ministers of State!

  • did she refuse to sign the lisbon treaty into law ? hell  no ! she's just another sponger on the backs of the workers !

    Ireland no longer exists , it is merely an insignificant province of the EUSSR !

  • ahern IS a disgrace to Ireland already, and that's an understatement.......BIFFO cowen is probably sharing an entire choco cake with Harney right now laughing at the state of affairs, what a joke seriously...

  • ahern would be a discrace to ireland. if he was president

  • America? Are you mad.The same is coming into effect there with the North American Union merging USA,Canada & Mexico with a new currency the Amero.Research the NWO.Time to wake up FAST.

  • Saying that the president's office is a waste is a grossly misinformed comment.

    It is an important constitutional office that ensure the state's neutrality.

    Without it, there would be a one less lever in the balance of powers.

  • Or a referendum to give the President more power.

  • lisbon what a joke when it all goes wrong and it wil im gonna point, laugh and move to america
