indeed!

Wikileaks and The Intercept would probably be extremely interested...

The judges decision on this is to be made today or tomorrow?

Lot of distraction going on tomorrow what with the referendum and that.

Disgraceful.. but not surprising considering his close ties to FG and influence.

For all the giving out we do about RTE, kudos to them for taking this on. There must be some very explosive stuff in it. Could it be the documentary that will finish this government?

I predict the courts will rule in favour of O'Brien sadly. He is simply far too powerful and has too much reach in the country.

As expected. The sooner people wake up and smell the coffee the better for the country.

JONJO THE MISER

A odious human being.

Can/will RTE appeal? (or would it even matter anyway?)

_Puma_

Disgusting outcome, even the Judgement has been redacted.

The_Valeyard

One rule for the rich, one rule for the rest.

If someone doesn't wiki leak this before evening, they have no shame

Also no surprise.. when you think about it a little, the close ties between Government, the judiciary and the Gardai is actually frightening.

Absolutely sickening the power o'brien has, the man is a scumbag. Im completely fed up with the corruption in this country and how they can get away with it..:mad:

Denis has the phones, media, oil, water, Govt etc well under control now. Far too much power.

Or it could be raised in the Dail.

I hate how corrupt this country is

mcko

I love the way Dennis always fights for our rights to privacy, great man.

The govbots must be in the war room working out how to blame it on Fianna Fail. They'll be along presently I'm sure.

Banjo String

The tax payers are good enough to pay IBRC debts, including uncle Dennys haircuts, but aren't deemed important enough to know why they had to pay them.



Considering siteserv are in the midst of this, as Dennis bought them on a debt free basis, provided by the Irish taxpayers, then soon after got given a large state contract to install meters, I expect tend of thousands now to show the govt how they feel about corruption by refusing to pay their water charges.

Irish water and siteserv are inextricably linked.

TallGlass

What a class act. The boys in the Dail have us well and truely under there control. I wouldn't be surprise if elections where actually rigged to begin with.

They appoint everyone in the top spec so if they step out of line theyll be put back to the little rat hole they came out of. This country is run by absolute scum, I actually find the timing of the referendum very good, get people talking about a serious enough issue and they might just forget all the absolute crap we have thrown there way.

If Denis had nothing to hide then he had nothing to fear. BTW, for people bypassing Topaz you might want to add Esso to that. But again nothing mentioned in the media, that his guy now has a 30% of the motor fuel market which raises seriously alarm bells with me.

What a little corrupt country we live in.

Can RTE appeal this or go to a higher/ European court?

What they should do, is just 'misplace' all relevant info on this, that maybe the BBC, or another respected media outlet not based in our jurisdiction might 'find' and suddenly broadcast it......

JustTheOne

It's going to be broadcast next week.

A reporter on today fm seen it and said there is actually nothing controversial in it and the public will be surprised at this.

What evidence have you that he silenced anyone?
Any more wild allegations?

Dunno anything about the man,could be a complete chancer but until I see some facts I'll refrain from begrudgery bashing.

can't decide if this should be filed under gullible or vested interest ?

RTE could always make a "fictional" show about a fictional character called "blueshirt O Brien" .

I'd imagine this fictional programme, not based on real life events would be a ratings winner!

You see you were doing quiet well until you reminded me of your fianna fail connection.

This judegment is a fooking joke.
More of the same.

First NAMA and now IBRC can basically feather the nests of connected ones at the taxpayers expense all the while hiding behind the excuses of confidentiality and privacy. :mad:

We have had the myriad of connected bwankers, developers, public body ceos of fianna fail replaced by really just one utlra rich media owning maltese based ex Tony Ryan lackie.

So much for cleaning things up :mad:
All they seem to have done is cut the number of snouts at the trough and not cut the swill in it.

I once had a lot of respect for alan dukes, but there is an odious stench about anything he is around over the last few years.

I'm concerned that social media will be silenced soon. Labours Lorraine Higgins bill for example to silence 'trolls' when she is one of the biggest trolls on twitter herself.
