- “You’re no man to look down your nose at me…”
“The truth is you look down on me - you think that because I’m from Dublin, because I’m middle class, because I don’t talk the way you talk and I have the accent that I have, that somehow I don’t understand real people. Well, you’re wrong, Deputy.”
Leaders’ Questions returned to Dáil Éireann today and with it - you guessed it - an almighty row. This time, Michael Healy-Rae and Leo Varadkar took the, er, honours… - Розваги
Leo works for the World Economic Forum, not the people of Ireland
To be more accurate, he works for Brussels, who in turn work for the World Economic Forum.
To be sure now does He? Well said.
Yawn.
Klaus called him a Young Global Shaper klaus is unelected but the worlds politicians follow his agenda. He coined the phrase “You will own nothing and be happy”. They will take everything from us private property will be out lawned Wake up everyone please
That is obvious
The neck on Varadker playing the victim.
It took 5 re-counts to get Vradkar in again. He's as popular as a rash
Was it not 13 😅😅
WEF plant
Varadkar is the very epitome and definition of evil writ large
Bad manners wesring a cap indoors, a gangster
He IS a rash.
Scary how he tries to twist it yet again, just goes to show you how twisted he actually is
The ''Airy Fairy Man''
the word your looking for is narsasistic
You forgot Evil
Veradkar was voted for a leadership position by absolutely no-one in the general election.
he is a joke
The Dublin fibe gael party
@@crowleywilliam1 Yes exactly. Just like the Politburo.
Not quite. According to FG rules both the ordinary members and the Parliamentarians have a say. In the election Varadkar had more of the latter while Coveney had more of the former. They complement each other.

Know thyself Leo.❤
He's not middle-class, he's low-class.

Better than the flute
Leo getting in a huff about the comment clearly shows how out of touch he is with Irish folklore and the people.
He was never in touch with it.
The way he mentions that he's from Dublin, don't speak the way we, up bringing etc, just shows how truly he is disconnected he is. It's hilarious that he and others doesn't understand they are genuinely hated and are primarily here to leach off tax money and run their mouths
He is Indian!!
He was never in touch.
Just shows how much of a drama queen varadkar is...
Healy Rae hit a nerve as Healy Hae has an enormous vote ALWAYS elected fiRst time everytime and it took 6 counts and transfers to get LEO IN .
that's true but nonetheless a sad reflection of the "parish pump" mentality in his constituency.
IMO this stuff is for a county council chamber
Varadkar is correct about Healy Rae turning down a ministerial position because he knew he'd have to actually make a decision instead of whinging from the side-lines.
No Sinn Fein politician is actually able to run the country. They just want to moan and whinge as usual with nothing to back up what they say.. as usual.
He’s right about turning down a minister job . Denis Naughten took the bait and couldn’t hack it
@Bif Stiff didn’t they get a chance in 2020 and failed miserably?😂
Varadkar is a young global leader of the world economic forum .
Yes an anti Irish tick!
When are the Irish people going to wake up to these people
He's no leader, a sheep yes, a shepherd no, a follower of WEF and EU.
Just like the 5 foot nothing actor Zelensky.
@@lightoftheworld417 Trudau and Putin are part of it too

Leo isn't middle class, the guy went to King's Hospital for secondary school, the fees are like 100,000, middle class, are you kidding me?
Do some research, "2021/2022 academic year: Day: €7,550 per annum. 5-Day Boarding (Domestic): €15,645 per annum. 7-Day Boarding (Domestic): €17,650 per annum"... a lot less than 100 grand, ffs

I too agree with you.

Nonsense
Heavy rae didn't give offence Varadker took offence
Offence is taken, not given. Imo MHR was very respectful
So this is what it takes for Leo to get passionate about something.
Leo doesn't care about who elects him. He is beholden only to his masters at Davos.
@@Ubu987 Completely accurate statement. Politics is like the banking system. Loyalty only to the shareholders who get them the position.

Michael Healy-Rae responded "no offence was intended, it was just an unfortunate coincidence".
Varadkar was nearly crying there he’s away with the fairies.
He's nothing but a whining drama queen.
Well done Michael and don't apologise. Leaky Leo should"man" up and deal with the issues affecting this Country. This Country under his stewardship has become the"woke"capital of Europe.
Iv often admitted I'm away with the fairy's, it means I'm full flight from reality. It's not offensive, what's up with the Tainiste
We all know what it means. Leo is just a drama queen. Oh wait I said queen He will object to that too I suppose.

The people did not elect Leo Varadkar and Micky Martin to run the country. The majority of the people voted SF
They factually did not. A plurality of people voted for Sinn Féin not a majority. A majority of people did however vote for Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael, and the Green Party combined. No matter what your beliefs are these are facts

“Up the airy mountain
Down the rushy glen,
We dare n't go a-hunting,
For fear of little men;”
First few lines from William Allingham’s 1824 poem The Fairies
The fairies have been part of Irish folklore for many generations and the term airy fairy refers to the fantasy of fairies living among us in rural Ireland, and the phrase airy fairy as used by Healy-Rae has as much to do with homophobia as Fairy Liquid does , it was obvious he meant that Varadkar was living in some fantasy land and not referring to his sexuality which is no one’s business anyway.
So true, well said
Nobody cares a jot for what Varadkar does in his private life. He's selling us down the river and hollowing out our country. That's the problem with him.

Agreed. His body language suggests that he doesn't understand what Varadker is referring to. And Danny is equally perplexed. Varadker is ultra sensitive here.

Michael Healy-Rae
In February 2021 the Register of Members Interests was published, covering 2020, revealing that he remained the largest landlord in the Dáil, with 5 plots of land, 16 properties.[31] A quarter of TDs are landlords or property investors.
He has also listed in the register of TDs interests that he is a postmaster, farmer, plant hire business operator and shop owner.His plant-hire business has worked for the Health Service Executive and he has a contract for providing fuel to Kerry County Council.
In May 2020, a complaint was lodged with the clerk of the Dáil over his failure to declare his interest in The Skellig Hotel Experience, a company that ran the Skellig Star Hotel in Cahersiveen. He had a 25% share in the company after investing €25,000 in January 2019, but there was no entry for his shareholding on the Oireachtas Register of Interests. Oireachtas members are required to declare any shareholding over €13,000.

@@Subjagator Why might they be motivated to increase building? For re-election.
@@jamesmcgarry1229
The two largest parties, FF/FG have been in power for many decades, practically constantly since the beginning of the state. They reliably get re-elected just because they are the largest parties without having to actually do anything. They have practically no incentive to do any long term investment.
After decades of FF/FG leadership we have the longest hospital waiting lists in recent history, largest homelessness crisis in history, constantly growing housing problems and a steadily shifting tax burden, plus a long list of other long term problems that will never be addressed. I mean we have a single hospital that is so far over budget that we could have built 2 or 3 hospitals for the same price. And many cases of schools waiting so long to be replaced that the prefabs that were supposed to be temporary ended up being around for 20+ years. The kind of governance that has 1 in 10 schools in prefabs and in some cases for 20+ years is intentional. Again, why should they bother to invest, they clearly get the votes anyway.
Perhaps that is changing though, SF saw a massive surge in popular support in the last election so maybe people are finally fed up with the status quo of the FF/FG monopoly where they talk a big game when in opposition but then do nothing when in power.
@@Subjagator I hope SF augers positive change, and I'm an American seeing this and commenting. I know first hand the calcification of political life that occurs when there are only two parties and no other alternatives. I live it with the Dems and the GOP here in America and have known it all my life. SF is one of Ireland's last hopes to really augur change in a two party dominated system.

It took the comment "Airy Fairy" to get Leo going....
Well then keep it up.
He likes the fairies- he thinks the fairy are on his side. They laughing and dancing when talks 🧚♂️
In fairness the full dialogue between the two is not in this video but it starts with Ray pointing out varadkars behavior towards him. There’s nothing nice or not nice about that, it is what it is and it’s varadkars behavior. If varadkar doesn’t like his own behavior being pointed out to him then perhaps he should look at his own behavior instead of projecting it back at the person who tried to make him aware of it. This reminds me of the incident between ray and martin where ray was raising a concern put forward to him by his constituents. Martin laughed, sneered and made a mockery of an issue that was of genuine concern to a group of people purely because it was ray raising the issue for them. That is indeed looking down one’s nose at someone because of who they are and using it as an excuse not to listen to the issue they are raising on behalf of the people. Ray lost the plot and it turned into a shouting match across the room. Personally it’s obvious to me that individuals like this who can’t get passed their own emotions and their own biases have no business being in government. The point that ray is making in this video clip is perfectly valid. You take your own personal bias out of the situation and you listen to what the people say and want because it’s your job to represent their concerns. The country ‘is’ the people, not the clowns in a government building. If the people don’t have a say and it’s all down to the opinions of this lot... then there is no democracy here. All people have an inherent ability to do what they want and live their lives as they see fit in order to explore, create and progress, provided what they do doesn’t impose on others or prevent others from living their lives as they see fit. Anything other than that is an attempt to control and people who try to do that have no respect or integrity. It’s clear a lot of politicians need lessons in personal development and to understand that debate is just one side arguing another. This serves no purpose in resolving issues. Listening, understanding and being able to see issues from multiple points of view and being able to engage in a conversation in an open, honest and unbiased manner is the type of person who is needed in our governance. I’m yet to come across such a person. I’m not a fan of ray but at least he understands his job is in ‘service’ to his constituents. Now if he could just practice keeping his emotions under control....
Brilliant comment, best I’ve read

Leo is that out of touch with reality, he actually thought Healy Rae was calling him a fairy in a derogatory sense.
Clearly must have never heard of Irish folklore. Then again, I suppose those subjects are very well beneath Leo! The fact that Michael D felt a need to call out FG&FF on their disasterous mishandling of the so called housing crisis & Leo's retort was "It's not our fault" meaning the government's fault. Just proves that he is living in absolute narcissistic fantasy land. But the true reality is this. Dáil Eireann don't run this country anymore! The EU do! We where sold out by these puppet's along time ago & this whole housing crisis is a global issue designed & orchestrated by the power's that be. Incase you don't know, capitalism is DEAD & we the so called "common folk" are been slowly indoctrinated into global communisn!

Please exercise extreme caution in the proposed
Referendum on housing
Pbp moved one bill
But home,4good have another
Which is too open to interpretation
Remember property is anything you own
Not only a house
And i don't know enough to define or distinguish between
Marxism socialism and communism
But i recognise increasing authoritarianism in Irish politics
And a distance between the cabinet and the ordinary Irish people
Really-Hay is the Marjorie Taylor Greene of Irish politics LOL.
I don’t like Healey Rae at all but tbf we don’t have anyone quite that awful elected, yet anyway
He is nothing like Taylor Greene.
He stands up for his local voters Taylor Greene is a completely different political ideology and is separate from republicans.
At least it woke up Danny beside him 😌
At the way things are going you won't be able to call your dog a mangy aul mongrel in case he'll have you up in court!... Michael Healy-Rae is so popular in Kerry for one reason and one reason only, he gets things done for people whether they vote for him or not. The Healy-Rae's are part of the last generation of kerrymen who still speak with the traditional rural kerry accent: when their generation are gone that great singsong cadence of the 'mountainy kerryman' will go with them.
Beautiful comment. Will miss that accent
And the irony is, those who would disdain his beautiful accent are most likely to don rainbows and speak if an inclusive society
Leo the traitor!
It saddens me to see this infantile exchange. But at least you don't have Boris Johnson.
Boris ? We could of had worse, at least he wouldn’t wear a hat indoors 😂😂😂
@@bigbird6039 Maybe he should when you look at his barnet
Why bring Boris into it, you could move no problem.
@@bigbird6039 Yeah, but he does always looks like he's just taken his fez off.
Better boris than corbyn
Which one is under investigation 🔎🤔
Which ones kid got convicted of a violent assault?
Away with thr Faeries is a saying a lot older than Leo, but he hasn't the nous to know that it just means he hasn't a clue or his head i.e his thinking is way out or up in the air, hence Airy Fairy.
The Kerry people are always left out .Its always about Dublin lol!
In addition to pretending to take offence to a phrase of which the context of is well known, he goes on to play the victim; the notion a member of the urban middle class could be a victim of snobbery from rural working class is absurd! Snobbery against those whose mouths possess a silver spoon?? Disdain and contempt which is rightfully earned, yes, but not snobbery!
Leo goes home and looks lovingly at his Justin trudoe poster
Justin trudoe? Are you OK? If you don't know how to spell names don't comment on the subject either my friend
Jaysus that was Personal though but Leo did look down his nose at all of us Country Folk, he did it to me in Person in Galway when I walked by him and his minders in Galway, never forgot it for him
... Well I enjoyed this clip... but the comments below are on another level... hilarious, intuitive, enlightening... I like both characters... the passion from the rural country man versus the delicate sensitivity of the upper middle class chap from the capital..but my understanding of the politics is not the same as others... thank you to all the intelligent witty folk who've commented.. ☘
Off with you, with the airey faireys 😂😂😂The woke dail.
Priceless!
Leo had a hair transplant
Note Varadkar's finger pointing, the shut up hand gesture, and speaking to Mr Healy-Rae as if he were an errant child. Varadkar by these involuntary devices confirms everything Mr Healy-Rae said.
Why if this man's a medical doctor, is he not out in the community helping sick people? There's a massive shortage of doctors isn't there! Or is there too much money in corrupt politics!
Ask why Obama left the White House a millionaire
