The majority of the members of the Irish parliament are professional politicians, in the sense that otherwise they would not be given jobs minding mice at crossroads.

People don't like politicians.

I'm not saying that all politicians are awful. I don't know any of them well enough to say whether they're awful or not. But almost every day, you find out something about them that's appalling. Maybe we shouldn't be surprised any longer.

We've seen a lot of dirty politics in Ireland.

Politicians are no different than the rest of the public.

I've never been disappointed by politicians. I've never invested that much in them in the first place.

People think we are such great talkers, but there is so much silence in Ireland about certain issues.

Don't fall in love with politicians, they're all a disappointment. They can't help it, they just are.

Unlike the general public, I rather like most politicians.
