She resigned for having LV mislead the dail and her generally shabby incompetence. There's no more to it.
She's only still in any job because 'we look after our own'.

So where in that does it deal with her misleading the Dáil and almost bringing down a government?

We're waiting a long long time for it Mark...time to put up or...you know what they say.

Thats great you've got the link marko,, it has taken long enough. Now it shouldnt be too hard for you to click on the link and then copy and paste where exactly in the report Judge Charleton says that she was exonerated for misleading the Dail


*Awaits with baited breath*

Lads, you are avoiding the real question, and diverting to a different one. Here it is again:

The real question is whether she would have resigned if the findings of the Charleton Report were known at the time of her resignation.

Did she or did she not resign because she had misled the Taoiseach and consequently the Dáil?

That is what was claimed and you can forget about the Carleton Report - as we have seen there is no mention of why she had to resign in it (if there is, you post the relevant section as Mark is finding it hard to find it)...the utter hames she made of her brief and the government she almost brought down because she did precisely the same thing as Hogan.

Blanch you may as well be asking "if Frances had balls would she be a Francis".

Time to give it up, yourself and marko have painted yourselves into another corner chief, I suspect just like the other question we keep asking, this one too will be forever ignored and glossed over.

Why not answer the question before bringing us to your side or follow on supposed real question?

She resigned because of her incompetence and making LV mislead the Dail.

You are unwilling to address it. Understood.

Fine Gael - "Francis Fitzgerald was exonerated by the Charleton Report"
Everyone else - "But she had to resign for mis-leading the Dail"
Fine Gael - "But Francis Fitzgerald was exonerated by the Charleton Report"
Everyone else -"Where does the Charleton Report say she is exonerated for mis-leading the Dail?"

Well its fairly stupid to post up a tweet critical of a government minster's view on pub closures when the leader of the opposition and SF, MLMD also agrees with the minister's views.

What is your view on the matter?
Open pubs, or keep them closed?

Only if you play 'support your team' politics.

Still don't know why schools or pubs with a sandwich are safer than pubs without. Pals of FF/FG own pubs that sell food?

Id be more concerned about the fact she said pubs are a danger to people's lives. What evidence has she of this?

I can go to numerous pubs in town tomorrow and get a pint and not be asked to buy food (same rules as people who are eating)

How many cases are linked to these pubs? All "closed"

You didn't answer my question.

Do you think we should open pubs or keep them closed?

Yes you do know you can disagree with the party you vote for on certain things

This is not a SF thread BTW

Did MLMD say anything about chicken nuggets, chips or nachos having any miraculous anti viral antibodies?

If FFG and SF are both saying close the pubs, but FFG are saying keep the ones open that sell a bit of grub (as if the grub has some kind of miraculous medicinal chemistry) can remain open, then the tweet above has a bit of merit.

I wonder what Josephine Madigan would make of this? Anyone in FG tackling the meat industry or is it just house parties they're vocal on?

I see aul Leo is lying yet again. Claiming things that aren't his. What a hollow politician.

No, I think that was Violet.

It’s fantastic to see how angry the FG party makes some people. Men (always men) grasping at straws, tilting at windmills, and trying to find outrage in even the most innocuous of stories.

Annoying the right type of people as well.

smurgen

Leo will have to keeps his trap shut over house parties going forward after his own shindig. He's had a great summer in fairness. Cans in the park and then a gaff party to round it all off.

How many are linked to meat processing plants? Last I read was over 1500.

Ireland's answer to Michael Portillo...gawd help us all.

Can't wait for the episodes that chart FG/FF's starvation of investment in the railways here and the shortsighted ripping up of infrastructure and capitulation to the road haulage lobby.

The IRA weren’t beyond removing rail infrastructure. Usually with Semtex and a telephone warning.

Yes, indeed, they set cross-border infrastructure back by decades.

The IRA were a subversive organisation intent on disrupting the normal operation of the two states.

Nice comparison! I wouldn't have gone that far myself.
