    Well i think he is a goner! There might be a new government in a few weeks. Don't fancy the crowd thats in but they made the mess and i would really like to see them clear it up. A general election will go right into their barrow.
    But John O'D, he's up the ****s i'd say.

    Hes is a goner I'd say. Now that Labour motion has been tabled against him he has no chances. Greens would vote against him. Just like in the UK when the speaker was put under pressure he had to go. John would have to walk before the Greens meet on Saturaday.

    No way out.

    He'll be treated like a martyr in his own constituency. He stole jobs away from Dublin and had splendid new offices in Cahirciveen and Killarney (the latter costing the state €19.5m. excluding extra staffing costs) to house his prize civil servants. Then there's the wonderful white elephant swimming pool that he had built using central government funds.

    I'd say he'll never be short of a free pint as long as he's in Kerry.

    Indeed, certain people in Kerry think it is a witch hunt against him! Over 700k in travel is a figure I heard today that JOD has clocked up in something like 6 years!!
