Every radio station seems to covering insurance costs today. I hope FG/IFP are listening.

That IFP thing isn’t really taking off, amigo.

TAOISEACH LEO VARADKAR received dozens of similar emails from members of the public telling him they wouldn’t vote for Fine Gael in the recent local and European elections as a result of the Maria Bailey swing fall case, Freedom of Information documents show.

FG/IFP look to be setting the scene for some action.

As against this good old tactic of naked like whoring? It's not a story that has much more to go on it. All the outrage has been exhausted and she will be sanctioned in one of number of ways. Barely a paragraph in that!

That rage will only be exhausted when she gets some form of reprimand, however as the rage may subside, the stain will be on FG for some time due to Leo's leadership on it.
This can be measured in part by the lads coming on here feeling the need to continuously tell us it's over

How much are FG paying their media team? they should ask for a refund.

The template email that article refers to was posted in this thread and sent by quite a number of us it seems.

2000 on the win, 400 on the e/w, and my hundred back. Let me assure you it’s a real bet. My only regret is not shopping around for better odds as I heard some lads got him at 55/1.

Apologies, I was full sure I read Farrell was awarded €2,000 not €2,500

Do you hover around waiting on a post? I don't see why, you change it to suit anyway. You could quote something posted on Love Island and say, 'Simon Harris is not a Stone Cutter, what nonsense!'.
Yep, nonsense. I agree. Never said it. You're some spin merchant.
My point was they'll make out well either way. They'll use it to their advantage. While we struggle your betters tend to do well. Noonan made a personal fortune betting against the house as it were when we were getting bailed out so we could bail out private gamblers. FG will use Brexit for all sorts of clandestine Dinny related shenanigans.
Now, to your glorious economy, I say so what? You must be minted if you can function in Irish society without a dig out or be a home owner from some time ago.
Enda Kenny is not in Sinn Fein Blanch. I've told you this before. Enda wants a UI as do I.
Self aggrandising and arrogance, Maria Bailey is the poster girl for Fine Gael, that's why this story will never die. It's about entitlement and how Leo condones it.

Hard work in life and getting on with things always makes you better off in the long run than the whingers and whiners. Careful thought-out decisions help too. I was offered three mortgages unsolicited between 2005 and 2007. I wasn't stupid enough to take them. I had relatives telling me to buy more investment property at the same time, didn't listen either.

I am now sitting nearly mortgage-free with a decent pension on its way in a few years thanks to careful prudent intelligent decision-making.

Any dodgy insurance claims?

None at all. Could have taken the HSE for a tidy sum for negligence, ditto the local school and the local GAA for various injuries picked up over the years by my kids, but not my kind of thing.

Shefwedfan · 23-07-2019 5:16pm

At this stage you might start to feel a bit sorry for Leo, he just can't make a decision or do anything right

Sorry I don't feel bad for him, he is clearly an idiot

Shefwedfan · 23-07-2019 5:19pm

For those that havent seen, Maria is kept on as whip

She has lost the Chairperson of the Joint Oireachtas Committee for Housing. Something she was doing f**k all about anyway......

Might as well just have done nothing Leo.....

KrustyUCC · 23-07-2019 5:29pm

Slap on the wrist

"In not going further by removing the whip from Deputy Bailey, I do so conscious of the devastating effect this saga has had on Deputy Bailey and her family in particular"

Ah FFS Leo

Any effects from this saga were of her own making where she tried to at best make an exaggerated claim and lied in court document whereas it could also be looked at as fraud

That old chestnut. Its an easy argument isn't it to sling that bit of mud? I voted FG in 2011 and sent one.

Never have and never will be a SF voter. Well done, another display of FG ignorance. Really are a detestable bunch.

It seems Leo has bottled it in a big way. He should brace and expect a huge backlash from the grassroots in the coming weeks. Weak as a kitten.

That was predicted from the off. The only other thing they might do is deselection but that won't be known until we are a whole lot closer to an actual election date.

Some are more clever than that. I don't take mouthfuls of ****e and simply get on with it, like it's my duty to take it. I too work and pay taxes like the vast majority of people with the exception of a few chancers, some of whom win state contracts and the like.

So that explains it. I'm alright jack, f*** the whingers. Grand job. Very Fine Gael. Some of us live fully in Irish society. We have neighbours and family and co-workers we care about the well being off. Even people we don't personally know.

The final nail in Leo's coffin.

I don't doubt you sent one, but that doesn't mean that my post is inaccurate. Three people I know who voted Sinn Fein at the last election have been the only ones in real life talking about this and told me about the email campaign.

Amazing you only mentioned this.mythical bet after the event.
Your numbers don't match up.

ChikiChiki · 23-07-2019 5:39pm

Also I think today was purposely chosen with the election of Boris Johnson as the new conservative leader and by default PM along with the good weather. People more likely to be outdoors. Plus its Dail recess so he won't face too many questions and he can hide away.

Trying to bury the news. He could have done similar weeks ago.

In other words....its ok to lie and try to defraud a company.......just dont upset poor old Maria

Pintman Paddy Losty · 23-07-2019 5:39pm

A firm but fair reprimand by the Taoiseach. Hopefully other members of the oireachtas learn from this. Time for deputy Bailey to move forward and put this unfortunate time of her life behind her.

Next week there will be huge media attention on the new British Prime Minister and more Brexit talks. Seems to me that Leo is hoping his announcement (if there is one) will get buried as a news story.

Not a bad prediction all the same.;)

Do you think we are all figments of the matrix?
You and Fine Gael central need to realise it's not all us verses SF. The last general election and recent local should tell you that. I know it's not sensible to slag off FF and concentrate on SF who aren't part of the civil war coalition, (FF/FG) but as a good pal off mine often posts, the game is up lad.

Shefwedfan · 23-07-2019 5:42pm

Remember it now....

This is from the party of "integrity"

hahahahahahaha

If by "move forward" you mean "get her entitled arse handed to her by the electorate", then I'm all for it.

ChikiChiki · 23-07-2019 5:42pm

Never in doubt! Unfortunately for Leo people have copped on to these strategies.
