Next time Francie, just google Cowan and just paste the search result link in here.

Whenever you can swallow hard and answer:

Cowen's transgression is STILL being talked about in the media...YES or NO?

Don't know, I wouldn't pay for the Indo in a month of Sunday's. Just making the point that it ain't going away for Barry and you know what the say about time passing and political strife remaining, if they are still talking about it after 2 weeks you are in bother.

To be fair,if there's no new information then,whoever wanted cowens ass has had their chance and its gone
Someone else in with a facetious puppy farm yarn ain't going to do it
I wouldn't expect any more dirt on him to spring up
Fascinatingly stupid if whats upthread is true regarding the feeding to the media though

Disagree, if he refuses to deal with the questions then it will stay current, or can be kept current.
Remains to be seen if that will happen though.

How can you disagree? You haven’t read the article?

Go Barry Go. I would say there is some scrambling around in the DLIR to see who renewed his licence (continually) 😬

Can you just keep renewing your provisional continually, do you ever have to apply for a full licence or to do your test. It's totally weird, a man of his age on a provisional. Is there a way of 'regularising' your licence without doing the test.

Third and last time I will ask. The simple point I made was, it was still being talked about in the media. You seem to have an issue with that, so:

Is Cowen's transgression STILL being talked about in the media...YES or NO?

Tricky question Francie, hard one to answer.

You keep ignoring the main fact, that Micheál Martin and the FF party are happy to have a serial law breaking, drink driver in his cabinet. How do you fee about that?

I would have thought that would be reasonably typical, someone approaching 50, doing the mileage he's doing, on a provo, having to have a qualified driver sitting beside him everywhere he went, incredible

Is he doing high mileage? Is he been driven or driving himself?

Where is McMurphy when you need him? Examine those expenses reports for us all

Good question. Maybe he wasn't driving at all (except for that infamous day of course) during all that period. He wouldn't even need a provisional in that case.

Do you think (not know) that Barry just had the 2 pints - just your opinion, you must surely have one

Discusting if true. I'm not one of the shinnerbots you constantly screach about as you'll see if you look back over the thread, I'm just a tax paying, law abiding voter, now back on topic.

'At the time (that he was caught drink driving) he was holding a legal driving permit because his provisional licence had lapsed'

What does this mean, what is a 'legal driving permit', are there 3 different yokes here, a provisional, a 'legal driving permit', and a licence.

Our legal system is build on the ability for people to reform, that’s the whole point of it. So wrong take your punishment but rebuilt your life

That’s what Cowan did. If you have issue with that then you better start with the legal system the tell them to switch it that nobody is allowed to reform.

I have yet to see a single shinnerbot say they are one, all of them don’t support SF.

You seem to ignore child abuse, would that not concern you? Is that not a serious crime? Is someone that help protect a child abuser not as bad? In my opinion they are worse. Do you want those people in government?

That's quite a strong statement, have you anything to back it up? or are you just trying to deflect from MM keeping law breakers in the FFGG cabinet by trying to attack people who question sutch things?

This is a very commendable attitude, there is a lot to be said for getting caught, taking your punishment, changing your ways and getting on with life.

On that issue I am more than happy to give Cowen a pass.

What I don't understand is why he cannot come out and clearly set out his record regarding the provisionals, driving tests, 'regularising', the L/N plates, penalty points, driving with an accompanied driver. If, as you suggest, he wasn't driving at all that is very easy to clarify as well. If he clarified it would be all over immediately imo (except for the Cowe/Byrne pantomime bit obviously).

Why would I deflect? I answered your question. Do you know all the bit you deleted when you quoted?

For someone who isn’t a shinnerbot you use the same tactics as the rest of them? Seem to have the same intellectual capacity as well

He has provided all the information yet you still have people like Francie quoting an article about social media as some sort of proof to what I don’t actually know

Just look back over this thread and you have all sort of wild accusations with nothing to back it up

Just look at the current topic about a dog, poster have zero information, zero facts yet continues to post about it

Unfortunately at this stage it is better to say nothing because it’s seems Irish people have gone the way of Americans

Were the 'provisionals' replaced with a 'legal driving permit'.

If provisionals ceased in 2007/2008, presumably that means that his provisional licence had lapsed in 2007/2008, and he was on a 'legal driving permit' since 2007/2008.

Why would the report say that 'his provisional licence had lapsed' when they are referring to an incident which happened 8/9 years after 'his provisional licence had lapsed'. It is confusing me more and more.

'At the time (that he was caught drink driving) he was holding a legal driving permit because his provisional licence had lapsed'
