That would be a bit brazen even for Leo.
The public wouldn’t like that at all.

Tbf Enda (nor the FG party) had no hassle with Maira Cahill, a known dissident republican being plonked into the Seanad.

Unless I missed the outrage from him or the party, but I don't think I did.

The Greens and Labour solution for everything is to throw taxpayers money at it.

Would never vote for either. It would cost me a lot more hard earned money.

How are they any different to FF. They bankrupted us!

Like Alan Farrell she saw the hire car company as an easy target.

Seriously? How did McGuinness being in court 15 years ago affect your current insurance policy? Just go find yourself a cheaper insurance quote and stop blaming people other than who is to blame - your insurance company.

Or we'll more likely have Senator Bailey

Only within Leo's gift if he returns as taoiseach AFAIK? Maybe he'll make it a condition of supporting a minority FF government...

Not sure if you're being serious, or on the wind up.

Why does McGuiness' soft claim being lodged 15 years ago matter? These things have a knock on affect to us all.

It would be like turning a blind eye to someone who played the welfare system 15 years ago to bag themselves a "free 4 bed semi-detached" nice top up each week/month by way of a payment from mummy SW cheque, and maybe even a little runaround thrown in for the bad back......sure just they cheated it 15 years ago.....blame the lax checks in the sw systems....

Insurance, just like Leo's welfare cheats campaign, cheats us all.

There was no difference when the wee bit of power was offered. They soon forgot their own policies to rubber stamp FF and FG policies.

Bailey comes from within and can damage them.
Maria was treated the way she was because she was abused and could be used also to put other parties down and throw stuff back at them.

Just had a girl call to the door with a list of the local candidates and asking who my top 3 would be if an election was called in the morning.

Crazy weather here at the moment so fair play to her being out in it, but interesting..

Good point. Gerry Adams being in the IRA 40 years ago has had no effect on my home insurance policy.

Surely my Insurance could be the only reason I would point out his past :rolleyes:.

Fine , except that the insurance company's are using these claims to justify price increases.....Claim scammers are loved by the insurance company's,,,and that's the reality, They do not give a damn about how much is awarded...it's passed on in multiples to the customer....us, in other words's :mad: Total claims payouts over the years have not increased dramatically as have the cost of premium's, in the 100's%, but insurance profit's have increased,,,,make the connection.

It certainly won't be FG Johnny. I won't be the only one to skip right over them either I'd say.

Ah electoral fraud. Another fine advocacy for the Law and Order party :rolleyes:

I think Johnny needs to stop digging, before he really DOES hit China!

For someone who said there are more interesting threads on Boards than this ( or words to that effect ), you sure as hell are contradicting yourself. Also why don’t you kop yourself on and realize the longer this thread goes on, the more names from FG are sucked in, and it is now appearing insurance fraud is endemic and totally acceptable within the FG ranks.

And Johnny, Some of these ‘gombeen’ independents are keeping FG in power.

Social Democrats. Lovely bunch - all warm and fussy and promising everything. Very earnest sorts. Wait until they are power and at least one of them is a minister, and having to deal with big problems with limited budgets. You’ll all turn on them, as most of you haven’t a clue about politics.

Muahahaha · 21-09-2019 3:22pm

In that scenario you'd expect HQ will make the call. Given that they are going to be down three TDs now, including one in DL they'll probably look for a way to encourage her to go quietly - for the party.

The problem is she is refusing to go quietly. Lets not forget her huge sense of entitlement, as far as Maria is concerned thats 'her' seat. She doesnt have the emotional intelligence to realise that she talked herself out of retaining the seat when she did that disastrous radio interview.

The local FG party members will try to remove her from the ticket but thats not a fait accompli either as she has many supporters within that group. Personally I want to see her on the ticket, if only for the sh1ts and giggles of the election campaign

SD’s promising everything? Sure that’s what we the gulible electorate had to put up with for years.

If nothing else, it will be nice to hear empty promises from another angle.

This is worth a listen. Must say it was a bit surreal listening to an interview with a multi millionaire businessman discussing a swing at length.

He said he has seen the report that Leo commissioned by the barrister and more or less called it a nothing burger, he said it doesnt make any conclusions.

Plumbthedepths · 21-09-2019 4:06pm

So months after we reliably informed by some 'experts' here that this would be yesterday's news before the summer, seems they were incredibly wrong. Bailey still making it to the air waves and news print five months after the story broke. Looking forward to the footage leaking......

Cock flavored lollipop? Sorry, I won’t be lowering Myself to your gombeen level.

Suckit · 21-09-2019 5:04pm

Is a cock flavoured Lollipop a good thing or a bad thing?

We could ask the leaders of each party, and see what they say. Or does anyone else know?

It’s clear she wanted money but didn’t foresee it getting into the public domain.
Backfired spectacularly on her and thus on her party.

The connection is that they can increase with the same company. Only had three real increases (more than 10% increase) over 20 years through changing so some posters are clearly doing something wrong. Some people change everything every year.
