So much for GDPR.


I hope and expect the Garda get the information from twitter and arrest that person. Bring the full force of the law against them

GDPR for a seating plan at an Oireachtas Golfing get together in a public hotel.

He is a hypocrite. Didn't see anything wrong with avoiding property related taxes in Portugal while pushing them through here.

Just to play devil's advocate here, it wasn't a property tax it was a service charge to the management company of which as a property owner he would likely have been a member.

It's completely different to a property tax.

Phil Hogan refuses to pay €4k service charges on his Portugal holiday penthouse

But at the same time had no qualms whatsoever about threatening the plebs who either refused of couldn't afford to pay for the clusterfcuk Irish water he had a strong hand in introducing, to reduce their water supplies to "a trickle"

Hogan confirms €240 water charge – and says non-payment will reduce supply to 'a trickle'

Something tells me big Phil will not give a shiny shimmering turd.

What has a TD holiday got to do with this? Maybe try to keep personal/professional life seperate


Hogan was 100% right, people should have been made pay for Irish Water.

He was not up to the task.
If he had known what he was doing he would have presented in such a way that we be paying for maintainence and what ever to make water fit for everyday use. Instead they were saying how much cost to have a shower etc.
We should never have being paid for water as there is plenty of it.

I have just seen the Seating Plan.

Table 1 was Grealish, Hogan, Dara Calleary + 1 and Noel Dempsey + 1

Seen him a few years ago at the Ploughing championship. He was coming out of a tent with two lads in front of him rolling out a carpet. God forbid he'd get sh1t on his shoes walking a whole 10 feet to his car.

Probably consulting with Jennifer O Neill to see where they can bring Bobby Storey in to it

In all fairness, Bobby Storey cannot be blamed for the actions of his slobbering acolytes after he had gone to hell.

A few days ago Simon Harris was falling over himself to tweet about bars not adhering to the rules. Now it's his colleagues breaking the rules, he has nothing to say. Calleary seems to be the sacrificial lamb. Once again, FG staying quiet as if this has nothing to do with them. Several FG senators and a judge in attendance. How long are people going to let them get away with playing dumb?

Not to defend him but you appear to be confusing or failing to understand the difference between a tax and a management fee.

Resigned and not sacked by MM. Really weak leadership. He's having a nightmare.

I would imagine that MM advised him to consider his position. Every politician - even a dumb one like DC - knows what that means.

Leech comes to mind.

Always looking for what he can get out of it or if he can claim expenses etc.

not 1 bit interested in the substance of the issues the voluntary group I was with wanted to discuss with him.

Shock. Horror.

what is the connection between a service charge for a property and property taxes?

The connection being - ,that Phil couldn't afford the pay cut, and refused to pay his property fees in Portugal because he wasn't happy.


Yet (as I pointed out) if you couldn't afford to, or refused to pay for the omnishambles of Irish Water - he was instrumental in setting up because it was a complete and utter clusterfcuk, Phil was threatening to turn your water down to a trickle.

One rule for big Phil, another for his subjects.

I'm surprised I have had to join them dots for you tbh.

Ya, that's right. And open up the partitions for the speeches. Shur if tis good enough for politicians and judges.

And also allowing hotel staff attend each table throughout. So basically destroying any hope of social distancing.

And to add to that there’s reports of no masks and plenty of handshaking and backslapping etc

Don't forget lots of well-known FGers at the dinner too.

Besides, as I said last night, the guest list shows that for all the notion of differences between them, the establishment parties and their hangers-on in the media and other high-profile position are actually very cozy and friendly. Golf isn't the only big club they're all a member of.

Do they know something we don't ?

How did they not see how ridiculous going to that event was, what was the thought process, it’s genuinely baffling.

Has Simon Harris tweeted his condemnation yet?

I think all the FFG TDs will try and deflect on the radio interviews today. I heard one of them saying earlier that we needed to focus on important topics like the return-to-school

Sarah McInerney starting now on Radio 1.
