    A story in today's Irish Independent suggests that a lawer previously used by Eamon Gilmore during a land dispute with a neighbour has been appointed to a top level judge position.

    This is hardly surprising. This is the leader of the party who pay their advisors more than €150,000 per annum when the Department of Finance recommended limit is just above €90,000 and then try to tell us that they represent the most "vulnerable" in society. The relaity is that they want to look after their own and line their pockets while supporting a government which wants to take €4 million out of our pockets in the budget in 2 month's time. We are the people paying those salaries.

    This is also the man whose wife was paid a vast sum of money (approximately 5 times its current value) for land for a school building project in the boom times. I have no problem with people who made good money during the good times but Eamon please stop your pontification about understanding the ordinary people.

    You, and some of your staff are getting paid €3000 per WEEK while you tell us that you understand what it feels like to live on the dole. The sad thing is that we believed you would change things and voted for you but it is clear that you are well and truly on the gravy train now. SHAME ON YOU.

    It has also been revealed that Eamon Gilmore used his position as a councillor to ask planning related questions about a site that he later bought and built his home on!!!

    His justification is that these questions were in the public domain - yes they were. So were the questions asked by those who appeared before the Mahon Tribunal yet the Tribunal has found that some people asking those questions gained personally from their actions.

    Don't take the Irish public as fools Eamon and pretend that those replies did not influence your decision to buy your site.
