So who does that leave as candidate for Taoiseach, Mary. Lou and her band of “free **** for the wasters” party? God help us

That's the thing, I really do not know.
Whoever leads should at minimum have the backing and backup of the likes of LV and that is not coming through since day one IMO.
BTW, the doling out of depts didn't make sense to me at all so I think that's a victory for FG as well, not for the Irish peoples benefit but for their own approval profile.

They are all like that, every single party and TD - party first.

The ppl just want collective best actions, best advice, best practice in a very changable situation.
LV not being on that podium last week was a disgrace.

No sign of Noel Grealish resigning yet. He apparently was the captain who sent out the invites with Donie.

He won't resign his actual seat, I don't know if he's any other perk jobs going but they are all he could be forced to resign from.

It’s true though no matter what you think of Leo, Mehole has the look and sound and movement of a snake and cannot be trusted

He'll probably be replaced by Jack fcuking Chambers though...

Resign from what?

He's not a Minister.

Perhaps he’ll give it to one of the Greens - that will piss the public right off.

Would piss his own party right off. FFer will be replaced with FFer.

Eventually all the hype will die down . We can sit back relax in the cold light of day ... reflect and probably see it as an even bigger disaster and shame for the Country than we first thought .

Yea i think at this stage government needs to fall.

I think they're going a fairway to bringing about their own downfall.
They seem to lack the necessary drive and these owngoals are chipping away at their credibility and now the Teeshock has developed a bunker mentality.

They don’t look at all the promises about Seanad reform if we voted to keep it. What’s been done since f-all lying ba*stards each and everyone of them.

This episode looks like it will become an albatross around FFs neck, it will most likely drive a wedge between them and FG. A little fore-thought could have prevented it all.
MM will have to rule with a rod of iron if he wants to putt his house in order.

So much for this story being confined to Irish media.
The fact that an EU commisioner is involved will probably help spread it across Europe.

The one positive in all of this is we will at last cop-on that the reason politicians treat us as eejits is because we are.
Mary Lou wants to bring back the dail as she afraid of election, the Gardai are doing an investigation which means they cannot comment until its done, they will be busy as they are doing on on the Cowan saga as well.
Martin said he cannot comment on Judiciary as they are separate in democracy, yet politicians and the judges are in the same Golfing society,
I kinda missed the beginning of the news but i think i heard a spokesperson for EU saying it matter for Ireland, i later heard MM saying Hogan EU now so out of his remit.
If there be a spike in Covid in next Month we in serious territory...

Mary Lou is only commenting because her lips are getting tired of saying **** all, like they have been since March

And both were subsequently exonerated of any wrongdoing. When did an FFer ever resign when they were merely suspected of having done something wrong?

When was Frances Fitzgerald exonerated for misleading the Dail and her Taoiseach?

Interesting to see John Sweeney and his wife sitting at the top table with the legal pals et al, as they are the company Directors of Western Railway Operations LTD, oil retailers and hotel management.

Western Railway operations ltd may trade as Clifden Station house or Sweeney Oil.

Cahoots!!...I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine!

https://www.solocheck.ie/Irish-Compa...Limited-573077


Does anyone think there's a dirty connection between the Directors of Clifden Station House and the influential people they were seated with and dined with in their own hotel?

There has been 5 mortgage/charges against Western Railway Operations ltd all on the same day this year 28th February 2020.

John Sweeney that was seated at the table with the High court Judge , has 38 directorships spanning mainly oil retail and mining, legal and construction / planning and parkrite parking.

https://www.solocheck.ie/Irish-Direc...hn/2105755823/

The particular Sweeney family are highly influential people worth billions.

Why was Station House Hotel owned by the Sweeney family chosen?
Is there a link as to why they 81 party knew the Hotel management would let the Golf party go ahead without social distancing?

There's something very fishy going on and more questions must be asked about this relationship with the hotel owners and those that attended the Gold dinner.
