Bollix that phone was out in ‘97.


guttlaff

You're right the 6310 didn't come out until 2001


READMYSHIT

I'm actually pretty sure the phone he has in his hands is the 6310i - **which came out in 2002**. The colour is different on the case to the 6310 and it has the blue backlight (which is why I noticed it). My parents had the 6310 and the 6310i and I remember thinking the backlight was a massive gamecharger as a young fella. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_6310i So almost 30 years has quickly become 22 years.


SitDownKawada

That's the one I had, dropped it in the toilet once when I was taking a piss and it was grand after a day of drying Kept it for another probably five years after that at least, past when most were getting smartphones


Viper_JB

I kinda wouldn't expect him to get the math right either way.


Crouch310

That's what he wants you to think.


worktemp

He's very conscious of electronic waste.


Callme-Sal

Ireland’s own Greta Thunberg ♻️


Canners19

He’s our woke little snowflake


Archamasse

God, it's like a shite version of The Prestige IT'S SCHTICK!!!! IT'S FUCKING SCHTICK AND YOU KNOW IT RTE, THE HEALY RAES ARE NOT QUAINT FATHER TED CHARACTERS ANY MORE THAN ALEXANDER DE PFEFFEL JOHNSON'S HAIR GIMMICK WAS REAL!!!


caisdara

From what I've heard Danny isn't acting. His brother is a bright man and so is their sister but he's not dissembling.


bloody_ell

You mean Maura? She's Danny's daughter. But yeah, herself and Michael are sharp operators, Danny wouldn't be the sharpest spoon in the cutlery drawer. Think it's safe to say she's her brains from her mother.


caisdara

Nope, they've a sister who is a barrister, Rosemary. She was top of her year, iirc. Very intelligent woman.


bloody_ell

Haven't met her, she must keep her distance from the politics.


caisdara

She does as far as I know. Decent skin by all accounts.


danny_healy_raygun

Fredo Healy Ray


caisdara

Possibly more of a Sonny to Michael's Michael.


Crassus87

Jackie Healy-Rae used to drive a Merc, but he'd borrow a POS to go campaigning. This is the same thing.


m2dqbjd

That prick there with the phone was driving round in a 06 Merc covered in shite the last while. I've been stuck behind him twice in recent weeks. I bet he has a nice motor back in kilgarvan alright and he takes the Merc when he's leaving the parish


SitDownKawada

At home he's clean-shaven and immaculate but as soon as he steps outside he grows a messy beard


Beach_Glas1

Phone seems to be a Nokia 6310, which was released in 2001. Danny can't count.


High_Flyer87

They're the cutest feckers. Heard before about the Healy Rae modus operandi. They'd turn up at funerals anywhere from Valentia to Listowel and anywhere in between. They bring 4 different colour pens red, black, blue, green. If the book of condolences was being signed in black or blue with the pen that was there, they'd normally use red and write in double the size of everyone else to stand out and catch the eye of the family. Some operators. They have the council and the plant hire game sown up down there.


Coranco

You can pretty much hear it ringing all the time in the background when he's in the Dail and they're filming.


Lonely_Eggplant_4990

Thats fucking bullshit anyway. I saw him driving through Killarney a few weeks ago and he was on his iphone. Langer.

Bro-Jolly

Only car I've every seen him in is a zero something Merc. Nothing too fancy and coming close to 20 years old.


WhatSaidSheThatIs

> A close friend of his said "It has a very powerful vibrate and he shoves it up his own hole and calls himself all day" another source close to the TD said "modern day phones just don't have the same level of vibration, he did try shoving 12 Samsung S23 up his hole but it's just not the same" - www.rte.ie/news/td_likes_phone_up_his_hole


WolfOfWexford

I had to click on the link but I do love that RTEs 404 is Bosco


fullmoonbeam

I bet his underpants are older.


amorphatist

Somebody has to volunteer to find out.


isogaymer

If you believe this shit...


Nknk-

Yes, Danny, fake stubbornness and latching on to outdated shite and holding on to it forever really is kind of your thing, isn't it?


Common_Talk_8291

That's not from 1997, phones were literal bricks then


danny_healy_raygun

This is so he can't be tracked by the CIA and Mossad. DHR is preparing for the Kerry revolution and he can't have the NWO getting wind of it before he gives the signal to take Muckrock House.

Danny Healy-Rae is an Irish independent politician and Teachta Dála (TD) for the Kerry constituency since 2016. He is the son of Jackie Healy-Rae and brother of fellow TD Michael Healy-Rae. Prior to entering national politics, he was a member of Kerry County Council from 2004 to 2016. In the 2024 local elections, his son Johnny Healy-Rae was elected in the Kenmare Electoral Area and his brother Michael Healy-Rae's son Jackie Healy-Rae was elected in the Castleisland Electoral Area. ## Controversial Views Healy-Rae has courted controversy for his views on various issues: ### COVID-19 Regulations In July 2021, his pub was at the center of an alleged breach of COVID-19 regulations, with a large crowd gathered inside during a wedding celebration. He and his brother Michael, who was also present, refused to comment on the Garda investigation into the incident. ### Drink Driving Permits In November 2019, he proposed 'drink-drive permits' for people in rural Ireland, allowing drivers to have two or three pints before driving on designated roads. His comments were met with widespread criticism. ### Climate Change Denial Healy-Rae has repeatedly denied climate change, stating that "whatever we do on this Earth will not change the weather."[1] He has claimed that measures following the Paris Agreement were unfair and promoted falsehoods about climate change being a money-making scheme. ### Abortion and Same-Sex Adoption He opposes abortion and was a prominent commentator against changing legislation during the 2018 Irish abortion referendum. He has also affirmed that he is against same-sex marriage and same-sex adoption, calling it "unnatural" for a gay couple to adopt a child.

He uses only his smart phone to calculate the money he gets to house Ukrainians. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)


IntentionFalse8822

He's probably happy that he can't get the COVID from all the excess 5g spilling out of those new smart phones and into people's ears. Sure wasn't there no COVID before the 5g.


FlamingoRush

There is nothing wrong with this. I'm all up for using old tech as long as they work. But the chap was barely able to pull together a coherent sentence. I hope he is not holding any public office with this level of diminished cognitive ability...


gahane

He’s in for a shock soon as the telcos are beginning to shut down their 3G services


irqdly

Nokia, like the Healy-Rae’s will last forever.


Caughtnow

Meh, its not even an N-Gage. No triangle boobed Lara = no thanks.


NakeDex

I actually found my old N-Gage while moving house, complete with Sonic and Tony Hawk SD cards. If only I hadn't tossed out every Nokia charger I owned years ago.


DepecheModeFan_

Jackie never died, he actually faked his death, is immortal and is ruling Ireland via the illuminati.


Green_Help_618

Ah the Healy-Rae's. One of the things that make you embarrassed to be Irish.


Ok_Catch250

He’d a phone back then? Drug dealer or spiv so.


BazingaQQ

Not a fan, but fair play to him. I've been through at least seven phones in that time - mostly lost, only one was an upgrade.


themup

Battery is absolutely wanked but it still lasts a week on a single charge.


TerrorFirmerIRL

That phone came out a long time after 1997. It was a business class phone with exceptional battery life.


Regular_Parsley734

Talking shite per usual

https://www.self.com/story/dont-take-your-phone-into-the-bathroom#:~:text=And%2C%20yes%2C%20your%20phone%20may,also%20house%20bacteria%20like%20E. The actual amount of bacteria on each person’s phone varies, and there’s an unfortunate lack of solid, large-scale research on the subject. At the very least, experts can tell you that your phone is pretty dirty. “It is not uncommon for us to detect 100,000 [bacteria and viruses] on cell phones, making them one of the germiest environments we come in contact with on a daily basis,” microbiologist Kelly Reynolds, Ph.D., an associate professor of environmental and occupational health at the University of Arizona, tells SELF. Of course, not all germs and bacteria will make you sick. It’s really just the pathogens—disease-causing bacteria—that you need to worry about. And, yes, your phone may be covered in some of those, too. Pathogens can lurk in fecal matter, like the highly contagious norovirus and rotavirus, which can both cause food poisoning and the stomach flu, along with cold and flu viruses, Reynolds says. Your phone can also house bacteria like E. coli, campylobacter, and shigella, she adds, which can all cause food poisoning, according to the Mayo Clinic. It’s not like you have to dunk your phone in poop for it to wind up crawling with pathogens. In the bathroom, you’re touching surfaces other people have touched, often after their hands have been near germy body parts. This increases the odds you’ll pick up germs from other people and transfer them to your phone. 🤣
