#IrisgTimes Pat Leahy's article on #HealyRae brothers fallout https://archive.is/hS6oo is short on insight/research, but big on #snark. Esp about their da, the late Jackie Healy-Rae TD.
"When Jackie Healy-Rae first emerged, a sophisticate in FF remarked he’d never get elected, not least cos he looked like he combed his hair with a pork chop."
Jackie was elected 3 times as a TD, and founded a dynasty.
But the "sophisticate" was right about the pork chop. 😈😅🤣
"All is changed, changed utterly".
The unthinkable has happened: a split in the #HealyRae brothers.
#MickClifford on the story of the falling out at the top of #Kerry's dominant political machine, the Healy-Rae brothers. https://www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/commentanalysis/arid-41855688.html
Healy-Rae drama is scripted theatre, like pro wrestling. The dynasty has gotten rich by 30 years in the spotlight. The latest storyline won't be the last in the family which mastered being simultaneously both government and opposition..
Dear #Mastodaoine, I’m here in the heart of evil, in the Mordor of kingdom Kerry. Wish me luck!
Ps: the pint is €5
