How would we go about getting a mugshot to scare people? zoney ♣ talk 16:55, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I sent a request to the WebMaster at finance.gov.ie! -- Rye1967 00:56, Oct 20, 2004 (UTC)

OK, I got a 1mb bitmap from them. It needs re-sizing etc. I don't have the software. Can someone who has email me. Also posted on the notice board. PS: I didnt ask for a scary shot, but they must've see this request. He's positively glowering. -- Rye1967 22:49, Oct 20, 2004 (UTC)

We could do with some more on his republican background. His mother, Eileen Mills, came from a strongly republican background; his uncle Peter Mills served time on the prison ships. Charlie referred to this in an RTE interview over the holidays when asked why he had not joined the PDs. Filiocht 10:57, Jan 24, 2005 (UTC)

A rhetorical disaster? Wow. Looks like random B-grade speech writer stuff, not oops-I-started-a-war material to me. Is there any evidence that it was a disaster? pde 11:21, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

It doesn't look like it warrants quite that phrase, but I do not doubt that even a secondary school student (who is good at English) could write a better speech! D-minus grade I think! zoney ♣ talk 12:00, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

This guy gives five speeches a day... amazing! See: http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/whatsnew_en.htm

I'm removing some of the citation-needed stuff as it's all out there on the web and non-contentious. Come down here to Kildare and ask people what they think; many referred to him in the 1990s as 'The Real Taoiseach'. I know his diction isn't D4 or media-savvy but that adds to his popularity. His courageous and in hindsight accurate opposition to Squire Haughey in 1982 set him up for life.Red Hurley 12:06, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
