Not gonna happen, FG are technologically illiterate, but not that technologically illiterate.

They know the cat is well and firmly out of the bag, and that interview will have been downloaded and uploaded/stored hundreds of thousands of times by now.

Would be an exercise in futility asking Montrose to pull it.

The internet never forgets.

Any evidence of a request to take the interview down?

Not that it would achieve anything as others have said.

Donegal County Councillor Frank McBrearty, who resigned from Fine Gael after less than two months in the party, has said he will sue Fine Gael for post-traumatic stress disorder.

What a drip.

Hard to understand how Fine Gael were not the Party for him . I suppose , perhaps he thinks falling off a Fine Gael Seat could be lucrative .

Ah he isn’t really Fine Gael. He only joined in April.

Before that he was an Independent and before that he was in the Labour Party

Flakey behavior tbh

Nah. He is the witness that saw Bailey fall off the swing. Hasnt stopped laughing. Does terrible things to a man.

The Nation could sue the Gubberment for PTSD at this rate. That diagnosis has to be made by a Psychiatrist/Psychologist and fundamentally consists of recurring and profoundly disabling memories of a trauma suffered which affect everyday life.

"I have to talk to the independents and the other groupings, Fine Gael included....If I am excluded from power-sharing I will make the council unworkable."

This shows the measure of the man.

No doubt he claims in his electioneering that he wants to 'represent his people' but in reality he's just power hungry.

Be right back

Another delicate FG flower!

But the claim was only dropped because it was clearly found, in advance if the case, to be fraudulent.

Just to be clear, her claim has not and will not be found to be fraudulent.

I defend personal injury claims for my employer and in my experience, Bailey's case comes absolutely nowhere near the bar for fraud.

People are forgetting that she did indeed fall. Not sure whose fault the fall was but she did fall. Only a court can decide definitively on liability. She could have been injured in that fall. She has medical reports stating that she was injured.

Now lets look at her race 3 weeks after the fall. She would possibly argue that she was injured and sore for 3 weeks and then felt good enough to run. She would then possibly claim that after the race her pain returned and that she hadn't recovered as much as she thought. The inaccuracy in the Affidavit could easily be explained in court as a lapse of memory or a typing mistake. I see these things being corrected regularly in court.

We have people sueing us after being absent for only 1 week so even if Bailey had recovered after 3 weeks, she could still sue for that period.

I'm no fan of Bailey over this claim but to be fair, it's a stretch to accuse her of fraud.

Well, are we allowed even mention the massive elephant in that particular room?

Get FF back in power lads. This country is run by a bunch of teachers, we need pro business.

They don't seem to want an election, which seems weird.

It's good that it's fairly stable and all... are they waiting to see how Brexit plays out?

Representatives of small businesses have appeared before the Oireachtas Finance Committee recently to highlight the difficulties in securing public liability insurance.

Two children's play centres in Dublin and Carlow closed their doors citing a 300% rise in their public liability insurance costs, and they had no swings on their premises.

Sure FG are making massive mistakes on a monthly basis, FF just need to sit back and watch their rehabilitation complete.

There's a bit of a panic that they've lost the younger vote.

Would it be possible for them to play the weed card in the guise of helping rural agriculture?

If that is the standard of claim that is now seen as reasonable within the courts, well the country is fecked. Nobody will be able to insure any premises soon.
Something needs to change to force judges to use the traditional idea of the business being negligent before making a judgement against them.
People are falling in shops by tripping on their own laces and getting pay outs.
It's nuts.

It's so ****ing brazen of her to send back the €600 cheque enclosed in a letter to the Dean Hotel saying that that is not going to cover her medical expenses, based on her own medical opinion.....From what I read it her that sent the letter and not her solicitors, is that true?

She's an avid runner. She ran a time within 8 secs of her previous year. She would of had to have been training for that time well in advance of the race.

Takes weeks to train for that time as per her previous years time.

She clearly said she was only looking for her medical expenses for the three weeks following the accident.
€7000 is unexplainable unless she was hospitalised.
