    Maybe a strict ban on unofficial photos?

    You know, adults feeling free to mix and mingle without some pr1ck taking snaps of them that they didn’t want..


    Not every party in the World needs to have people going around with camera phones!!

    I'm amazed not a single picture from the event has come out yet.

    Maybe they had to put their phones in a bowl on arrival at the bash, a modern version of a key party.

    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.

    True but the Irish public by nature will be angry today tomorrow maybe Sunday until the media/Government distact the public with other stories and this whole Golf banquet will be forgotten and nothing will be done and the behaviour will continue.

    Wash - Rinse - Repeat!!

    Most people I know now ban the stupidity of taking photos and sticking them up on social media. Just have a few beers and relax. You don't have to tell the World about it.....

    Probably by Jack "I don't believe that the Irish people should get a say on the 8th amendment and there should be no referendum" Chambers.

    Talented bunch.

    What should happen -but won't- is that Michael Creed be reinstated as Min for Ag. With Brexit hotting up again this is no time to be sending a rookie into this vital department. Creed is au fait with much of the detail and can hold the fort when necessary.

    For any public representatives.....

    1)Resign their seats and/or public positions
    2) Pay the maximum Covid fine for breaking the very rules and regulations they set themselves for us to follow
    3) Put them in jail for two weeks as an example to the rest of the gang (they can all go in the same cell/block with a putter, Golf ball, and practice green between them all.....

    Is this type of 'ah shur tis grand, what can we do shur'......that makes these Golf banquest or such like so easy to cover up!

    What we need is more questions and proper answers!

    What is the real link between John Sweeney and the newly elected Judge ?

    As a previous poster said, there's a clear conflict of interest and humans being humans , we are prone to corruption if we can get away with it!

    Why even is there an Oireachtas Golf Society, I bet more than half the members can't even play golf. It's just a society to rub shoulders and get people to scratch your back if you scratch theirs!

    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.

    Well Enda Kenny offered the electorate the chance to get rid of the shower of wasters in the Senate -but no , the great enlightened Irish people said let's keep them in their well padded seats spoofing and drawing expenses for Ireland.

    Pretty sure it was mentioned on Drivetime this evening that Calleary doesn't play golf.

    MM will have to rule with a rod of iron if he wants to putt his house in order.

    Then there are those who say this carry on is just par for the course.:D

    The Seanad has a purpose as a second step check for the Dail. Reform would be a better solution to take....

    Hahahahaha

    So you have a problem with people playing golf now, says it all really

    No you don’t need any more questions answered. It was a private event, it was not a government event so to be honest it’s none of your business

    The people have been punished.

    If you think you you are entitled to every bit of information on a TD personally life your sadly mistaken

    The Government will release some other news to the media to take away the focus from this Golf banquet and the Irish public will vaguely remember this whole affair......works every time!!
