Fair play to him though, these problems need to be adressed

[@devinomahony3001]

[@aaronryan9596]

Why did I find this so funny 😂😂

[@SSJSSJ]

I could watch this 100 times.

[@finosuilleabhain7781]

I'm not sure I'd go that far, but this is civilisation, this is democracy.

[@SSJSSJ]

I've watched it 4 times so far. Only 96 more to go. Yes, it's civilisation and democracy, and also very nice because of the respect and humour. It's soothing compared to lots of other politics out there these days.

[@finosuilleabhain7781]

It is indeed. I confess to having watched the little snippet on the BBC website, which led me here, at least 20 times, without exaggeration. Mr Healy-Rae is new to me but already a hero.

[@SSJSSJ]

Now I've followed him on Twitter.

He never mentioned the large populations of 'early humans' roaming around..
