If people can vote Sinn Fein because all their associations with Murder and violence were in the past, then the same applies to Fianna Fail.

Yeah probably another days argument but what is being talked about tonight is directly responsible for normal people struggling to make ends meet today

Must be hard for DLB to listen to his family party being bad mouthed

I'd say Enda is sitting at home tonight with Fionnuala and rubbing his hands together - Gerry Adams and Sinn Féin have had a bad week, so has Eamon Gilmore/Labour and now the whole country is being reminded about Fianna Fáil's corrupt (recent) past.

Well, he won't be anywhere else MrsD.......

who are Ryan's uncle and cousins?

Todd Andrews was Ryan's grandfather. He was the first chairman of RTE and helped to have it created.

Niall Andrews and David Andrews were his sons. Both became TDs.

Niall's son was Chris Andrews. Barry Andrews, another cousin was also a FF TD in the last Dáíl.

Tubridy's brother is running for FF in the council elections.

FF aristocracy. Next, Miriam!

Mr Allen said Mr Gogarty had gone a step further in his affidavit by alleging that he had asked Michael Bailey if they would get a receipt for the money. ``And you alleged that Mr Bailey said, if you will excuse the rather rugged language, `will we f***!'''

True, it's not a black and white issue for either party.

Jesus, someone take Christy's jacket (tracksuit top?). He looks like he's baking up there.

There was a story that when he went from chairman of CIE to chairman of RTE someone asked him what was different about the new job.

"RTE carries a lot more passengers"

Andrews also supposedly said that he closed the Harcout railway line because he was "sick of seeing fecking Prods getting the train into Trinity from Bray"

He'll be on the phone to Bottler, Big Phil and The Shat:

Corrupt are stinking of nepotism, plenty of the kids of corrupt bastids who ruined the country are now seeking a career of their own in politics.

All 3 were FF TDs, both David and Chris were ministers.

Tubridy's grandfather was close friends with Dev and the first chairman of RTE.

Thanks BB. I had no idea. Nepotism still alive and well. Does that make David MacSavage his cousin though?!!

Indeed it is. A very well put together LLS.

In the interest of debate it would have been interesting if there had been another voice on the opposite side.

Everyone they are talking about is dead....

Tom Gilmartin's shocking story of corruption was just the prelude to how Ireland ended up bankrupt - planners & politicians taking bribes from developers to get planning permission for massive building projects.
When Tom Gilmartin wouldn't pay bribes they all turned against him and stonewalled his efforts. Horrific story and there's so little about now:mad:

I don't follow why Christy is on? Does he have a new tune ready about corruption?

Yeah and he names loads of places that the crowd know and they go "whoop we're from there" when he says it..
"They're all broke from cullahill to the hills of Kildare town" etc

ProudDUB

To be fair to Tubs ( I know, I know.... ) he is letting them all speak, without interrupting them, or cutting across them as much as he usually does to his guests, especially ones who he would not be disposed to make look good.

Skid X

Bring in the audience, Ryan.

Let a few outraged people roar abuse at the camera.

That's what would have happened in the old days.

Not sure. I was led to believe he was a scholar on public planning but he seems to have been gagged.

great that all this is all being laid bare here. Sickening sickening stuff. Anyone who ever votes for FF again after watching this deserves everything they get.

Christy should get his blood pressure checked.......

Seriously....

Skid X

This would make a good drama - conspiracy, greed, bribes, corruption.

It would be great if RTE commissioned it, but it will never happen.

Pee Flynn still knocking around Mayo, even doing readings at Mass.

As regards a debate they wouldnt be able to find anyone to represent the opposition viewpoint.

There's a Haughey drama due soon - it's that's successful there might be a chance it could happen (wouldnt rate the odds too high though)
