      How many Burke’s are there ? Feels like a new one in the news every week …

      It was an NUIG Lit&Deb it wasn’t a Catherine Connolly event, all candidates were invited but she was the only one who showed up.

      But don’t let facts get in the way of headlines

      There was a question and answers section at the end, and I do believe it was pre approved questions – something like 80% of questions were denied. But in classic Burke fashion, he stood up half way through the talk, and starting shouting his questions at her expecting her to answer. He also ambushed in the hall before the event. He then turns it into a free speed tirade.

      If the Burkes behaved normally, people might listen to them. But they just shout and scream and make it about them. Every single one of them has gotten physically removed or carried out of a building at some point. I guess when you behave like an ape, don’t be surprised when people treat you like one.

      I really wish we’d deal with them like the Yanks did when they gatecrashed some Paddys day event and dragged away and thrown on their arses.

      Surprised he’s allowed have his hair like that. Is he the tear away black sheep of the family I wonder?

      > The event, which was organised by the university’s Literary and Debating society, had been billed as a presidential debate, and two empty chairs were left at the top table for Jim Gavin of Fianna Fáil and Heather Humphreys of Fine Gael who were unable to attend.

      so it wasn’t a „catherine connolly event“, it was a presidential debate organized by (edit: it’s not NUIG anymore, i’m old) UofG’s Lit and Debate society to which all three candidates were invited. can the paper of record please stop printing lies, or is that too much to ask anymore?

      Can we stop giving these people airtime? The amount of articles about a student asking an inflammatory question at a debate is ridiculous. It’s playing directly into the hands of that particular family. Ignoring them is the tonic for that lot

      Absolute disgrace.. she could not seriously stand up and answer the young man’s question and his point of view. And you want this person as to be president…. whole country had gone soft…. she didn’t even acknowledge him just looked at the garda.. to kick him out…. shocking.. spoile ur vote

      They’ve great heads of hair and bad eye sight, must be the genes

      This is exactly how they should be dealt with whenever they appear to cause trouble – just remove the cunts and deny them the attention they so badly crave.

      They offer absolutely nothing and should be treated with the same contempt they show for everyone who isn’t them.

      Interesting how it’s been wiped from the Internet that they were pro-israeli back in their NUIG days…….

    23. HcVitals on

      Evangelical Christianity?

      Second hand political speeches from your family?

      Must be a Burke

      Jesus they’re like the fuckin Hydra. Shut one Burke up and two more pop up out of nowhere

    26. Upbeat_Platypus1833 on

      Can the Burkes please just fuck off. Also, to the media, stop giving them fucking attention.

    27. singleglazedwindows on

      Nice to see the Burkes getting back to their roots and being booted out of NUIG events.

      This was a missed opportunity by Connolly. if she’d said his brother was a gobshite ir could have won her the election.

      Remember when Michael D called a US political a walker?

      Even if she didn’t want to say that, not having an answer prepared was a mistake. I understand his question was submitted in advance. Even if it wasn’t an event in NUIG is inevitably going to attract the Burkes. Any answer pointing out he was jailed for disobeying court orders, not his views, would have been better than an impotent glare. Its not like burke supporters are natural Connolly voters. She should have taken him on.

      You have to admire how confident and well spoken they are. Bunch of fruitcakes, but still impressive.

      It wasn’t a Catherine Connolly event, all presidential candidates were invited, only Connolly appeared,
