The strange affair of Dimmy Tooley

Calhoun

I'd say Martin is fuming, this coming after the Brexit gaff a few weeks ago from Timmy.

Atlantic Dawn

Crooked, crooked parliament that this can happen.

lola85

I’d say MM id absolutely fuming.

FF managed to hide how corrupt they are for a few years and the public were starting to forget.

But as sure as day becomes night FF show true from.

It's like that episode of The Simpsons where they put the.bullies in a room. All they need to do is that and they will potentially have a good election.

They were on track for the sins of the past to be washed away, we shall see now.

How juvenile. And my own..."sh1ite"? You really are filthy. I shouldn't have entered this swamp of crassness and stupidity.

Troll effort - rumbled after 2nd post, very poor.

Under the bridge you go.

I don't understand this comment:

'Dooley, the party’s communications spokesperson, said Limerick TD Niall Collins pushed his voting button on his behalf as he believed Dooley was still in the chamber.'

Odious.

Interesting, I'm sure this isn't the first time either for some members of the Dáil.

How would you go about checking voting record versus presence in the Dáil chamber?

Can anyone explain how you vote in Dail? I thought you walked through a doorway to another room. First I've heard of buzzers

Think it depends on what they are voting on, they have electronic voting for certain things and the walkthrough for others. Not sure how it’s decided which goes where.

Looks like Lisa “squeaky clean,goody 2 shoes“ Chambers did the damage.....shocker!

now Lisa Chambers has admitted pressing Dara Callery's button https://www.irishtimes.com/news/politics/fianna-fáil-s-lisa-chambers-voted-for-dara-calleary-after-sitting-in-wrong-seat-1.4057228 heres her on radio this morning denying she ever voted for somebody else https://www.rte.ie/radio/radioplayer/html5/#/radio1/21639610

Lisa Chambers now saying she mistakenly voted as Data Calleary past week because she was sitting in the wrong seat.

She kinda suggests that after accidentally voting she then moved seats and cast her own vote. If that’s what she did then she knew what she was at, if she cast someone else’s vote and didn’t cast hers I can see it being a mistake.
It sounds to me like this is rife in the place though.

I suspect we will be hearing of plenty more instances of this happening. In the clip of Dooley taking to Collins he's not exactly having to explain much to him. Collins knew what to do.

Thus could bring the government down.

how? if lisa chambers has to step down from the front bench? this could also effect barry cowen and dara callery, MM front bench would be decimated. It be a mess for FF maybe FG would want to take a advantage (but they could well be found to have done it too) think Leo genuinely would prefer to wait till May to get brexit and budget sorted.

heres the record https://www.oireachtas.ie/en/debates/debate/dail/2019-10-17/ she must have hit dara callery's button and hers in the first vote. I don't see a vote where Callery is down and she's not.


How could she not tell the CC, it doesn't matter if it wasn't close or not, its incorrect.

Gavin Reilly on Twitter is saying that she voted twice, once in the wrong seat and then a second time in her own seat.

I wonder if its only FF, they should easily be able to cross reference voting against attendance.

I am certain Johnny Dogs will be along shortly with a long list of FG TDs who have done the same. If not, we can look forward to a funny gif or picture.

A 'mistake' like defrauding a parliament of legitimate votes, crooked as it gets kind of place, how are we even still listening to these people, they should be turfed out on their hole for corruption, absolute cretens.

Are politicians entitled to claim expenses if it has been shown that they voted even though they might never have been anywhere near Dáil Éireann?

This is an incredible scandal which, quite frankly, would only occur in a country as corrupt as Ireland.

I knew it. There was something about the way she answered that question, I knew she was lying.
