Stephen Donnelly for Wicklow

You joined FF a few months ago because you saw it as the best chance of a cabinet seat , let's call a spade a spade Stephen !

Fianna Fáil have had numerous chances to shape Irelands future and I've fallen for your lies for long enough and you'll never get my vote again because all you've done is shape our doom. FF FG and Labour are nothing but a shower of stinking RATS!

Yes, do mind the negativity. You're getting it because you duped me and many others who gave their vote to the Social Democrats NOT Fianna Fáil. Nobody would probably have had an issue with that had you at least had the decency to wait until the next general election. By dismissing the negativity you're just further dismissing the anger and views of those who voted you in in the first place.

I actually had time for Stephen Donnelly when he was an independent. But I guess money talks at the end of the day.

Did you not vote for the vile Eviction Bill , making it easy for the banks and vulture funds to evict families , the elderly and the ill from their homes leading to homelessness , many suicides to date and now hidden hunger stalks our land .! Yesterday alone 10 families were hauled up before these courts in Tullamore and every day hundreds more terrified people endure the same distress and trauma . What will you do now too late redress this morally bankrupt action ?

Rats jumping ship not for the people but for themselves and what he can get for himself.. my dad was a town commissioner when they first started in greystones and was elected every time because he cared about the people of Greystones and gave all his time for free

Fianna Fail shaping Ireland's future?.. Isn't it bad enough that you already practically bankrupted the country once without getting the chance to do it again?.. Ffs

Turn coat Stephen Donnelly, and what did you say, "the only way to get things done us to join a party" you sold out for a cushy job and a spot at the table, didn't you listen to the people when we told you to be in a party means to give up your voice to the whip. P45 for you after the next election.

Don't mind the negativity, in other words FF are only looking for YES people, people that agree no matter if its right or wrong. If you get involved in politics to help people, then why do you agree to allowing so many STEALTH taxes. Leaving a lot of people with no savings or future. Politics as we know it is finished in Ireland because there is far to much corruption. Our elected politicians are not allowed to do anything unless our unelected civil servants say so. Tell me whats the point of joining a party that had a whip system. That is a dictatorship not a democracy.

Your a self serving traitor Steven, you were voted in by the people as an independent because you knew that was you way in and now you joined one the most dishonest parties in Ireland hoping to further your career, you lied to get power so who can trust you now??????? A turncoat your like Italy in the war joining which ever side is winning, your one horrible man and your exactly what is wrong with politics in Ireland today.

Adam The real subtitles "I wanted to help my country,my community and most importantly my pocket.....I joined FF a few months ago because I believe I need a cabinet seat so I can be even more of a dickhead in the national media...nevermind the fact that I got involved in politics to oppose the policies of FF during the financial crash"😂

It is in no way grassroots-led. I cannot conceive of a grounded Fianna Fáil member (I knew and liked quite a few) who approves of propping up the most right-wing Fine Gael government in generations and at the same time trying to look and sound like an opposation. It cannot be done for much longer. Varadkar's leadership campaign was aimed directly at the ''respectable''/conservative/reactionary spine of Fine Gael. He learns quickly but he's at his weakest now and should be put to the electoral test. The grassroots reference is a bow to the danger to Fianna Fianna Fáil from the Shinners. But the Confidence and Supply deadlock will only strenghten the Shinners. I don't believe the Shinners are grassroots-led either.

i left your toxic party over people like you and that dirty pig Mehole Martin if you want to bring Fianna Fail in from the wilderness bring this disgusting load of blueshirt filth down but sorry i know from my tallies here in Kilkenny you wont get any seats left it too long Steven just looking for a fat pension you bollox

I thought he was going to be one of the good one's when he was an independent, but just another corrupt politician looking after themselves sickening.

Are you guys getting nervous now that a bright young team are in charge of the country?Stephen you defected to the wrong gang

Would be an alll right time .to join FF,we are now officially out of the worst recession since 19,28 caused by ?.its begger belief listening to ye . Now I would vote for ff in the morning ahead of SF .the problem with your 20,000 strong grassroots member is they are hereditary born 😭

Stephen Stick to bray There more your type Ruth an you all the same it's the only town that will elevate you. It'll never be south Dublin no matter how u and the duggans try Wicklow cronies all the same bray mafia But that's it. Your not Fianna Fáil standard at all or indeed any

Why are the water boarders so concerned about FF. They are fine girls don't be worrying so much. They were there before you and will be there when you're gone

RESPECT for you ZERO Another politician who's morals go out the door with a ministry chance. SHAME ON YOU

"Dont mind the negitivity below" - that suggests to me that Stephen Donnelly is aware that people know hes a snake in Fianna Fail clothing

What a joke - 20,000 Members - yet another lie from #FiannaFáil - the #FailingParty

Stephen Donnelly. You won your seat from your constituents because they believed your pre-election lies. When people cast their vote they not only vote for the candidate but the party they represent also. People voted for Stephen Donnelly INDEPENDENT the DIDN'T vote Stephen Donnelly Fianna Fáil. This is the same end result as going to a bar and asking for a bottle of Dom Perignon only to be served a bottle of cheapshit cava. You're a FAKE! Best of luck at the next election. 😉

Is that the independent no it's the socialist democrat no wait who is he with this week

Bet u still vote the pricks in. Is the voting fixed. 90% of comments are negative yet they get voted in. What's the crack?
