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.

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.

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.

FG are up to their neck in it as well....

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...

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!

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.

What difference does it make? We know who was there. We know their behaviour has pissed off the majority of the country and broken trust with the government and the restrictions imposed.

“I suppose the party leader has made it clear that everybody must pay a price for what has happened. We attended the function inadvertently, but still we have to pay a price” he told KCLR News.

How does some one who lives in Kilkenny attend a function in Clifden "inadvertently" ?

I dunno plumb, a photo of big Phil with a tie tied around his forehead in the style of Mark Knopfler, sliding on his knees across the dance floor, playing air guitar would be funny as.fcuk.

Very apt username. Good post.

Even without covid I consider jolly’s like this of old boys networks completely inappropriate in a democracy. Separation of powers is a cop out answer too. If that’s the case judges shouldn’t be mingling with members of the other arm of the Oireachtas. Thank god for social media, Cowan’s game of golf with Seanie when the country was filleted would have been scrutinized more if we had Twitter back then. The media wouldn’t go there at the time.
