    Really is something rotten in the republic of Ireland.

    Yes; It's Citizens !

    The ones who continue to return Michael Lowry, & numerous others to our Dail, with ever increasing votes; no matter what shit they've done.

    While the voters support the cute hoors in Politics; they've no right to bitch, when those cute hoors, appoint other cute hoors !

    Hockey had Delaney lined up to succeed him in the OCI

    And not to forget what Denis o'Brien said about how great John Delaney is-

    Sept 2014
    John Delaney could run anything. John Delaney could run UEFA easily. He could run FIFA as far as I’m concerned — certainly better than [FIFA President] Sepp Blatter, and more honestly.

    And again in August 2018-
    "I have had the privilege to get to know the work of the FAI and in particular your Chief Executive Officer John Delaney, who I have the highest respect and regard for," said O'Brien.

    "He’s one of the few Irish sporting administrators who have made it to the top of their sport internationally. His membership of the executive committee of FIFA is, as I see it, just another step."

    Says alot about O'Brien that he lauded someone who was inherently corrupt and incompetent in equal measure.

    Its just incredible that they both stroll off into the sunset having left a complete and utter mess behind them. We really are a soft touch in Ireland when it comes to white collar crime, there is way too much legal protection for these people.

    Complete disgrace.

    Our last government, apparently a right wing, take no prisoners type, let them both off the hook... Not to mention permitted them to fill their pockets as each went out the door.

    Might aswell mention Michael "sick note" Fingleton (former Irish Nationwide Building Society boss), while I'm at it. Another one let off the hook completely, because he was allegedly too ill to appear in front of any committees... though he wasn't too ill to find a way to keep the big pension contribution that he was supposed to give back (think it was a mill?)

    Until we get tough on crime, we'll continue to have lots of crime...whether it's white collar crime, or poor little Johnny who grew up in a broken home and now has 87 convictions, but still gets to walk out the front door of the court, after his free legal aid team (that we've paid for) play a quick tune on the world's smallest violin.

    Thanks,

    G.
