I won’t but neither will anyone else so the charge of double standards and begrudgery is a fair one.

One you see words like elite being used you know the cohort you are dealing with .

It's the lying and the spoofing that drives everyone mad I reckon.
Although probably the same traits that get them to these positions in the first place.

Dignity ?? !

And begrudgery...

He's sixty now , he'll have a pension most of us can only dream about and he'll walk into another high powered position. He'll likely be better off
Why don't the other 80 lose their jobs too if it's all about fairness.

Because the other 80 didn't first try to blame somebody else, then lie, then lie some more to the Taoiseach and the Tanaiste (i.e. the people) then lied not once but several times to his boss in the EU?

Just a fecking guess.

That’s a massive generalisation, I would say that they have less experience and tolerance of the toxic culture of Irish politics which Phil was clearly very familiar with.

Actually, Ursula herself got into hot water in Germany and they too were delighted to see the back of her.

This is a rare event - an EU Commissioner being forced to resign is a big event in EU politicking.

Only the second time, the first was the Maltese lad for lobbying for a Tobacco company.

Leo won’t be happy he was hoping big Phil would keep that seat warm for him
Now that big Phil is gone surely in the interest of fairness and equality that wolf should now be forced to resign along with all those senators who were gifted their positions?

Do you remember that time there was dodgy bank dealings going on that eventually cost the taxpayer billions upon billions of euro and led to austerity, emigration and suicides?

What did Phil Hogan do?

A) Publicly speak out about it in our parliament where he was elected by the people to serve the people and call attention to a serious issue of national concern?

Or:

Did he keep his mouth shut and exploit the situtaion for his own personal game?

Yet the propagandaists are out telling us he's "batting for Ireland"? :rolleyes:

Ah sure I suppose you'll be happy for the country in the Brexit negotiations when the Irish Phil has been replaced by the French or Dutch or Greek version of Phil. I'm sure that those versions will be more worried about Ireland than the original Phil was.


You should always be careful what you wish for in case you get it!

That's a result, sets a decent example for other politicians that there's nobody above the rules.

Who are we predicting will replace him? My money is on either Frances Fitz or Harris.

Id say Leo sights are higher than being a Commissioner. More Like President of the Council or Commission.

I hope we'll be a bit more vigilant and vocal about who takes his place.
Covney with his bilderberg connections wouldn't fill me full of confidence.

I don't think it's a coincidence that the only native English speaking nation is getting the top jobs given the global trade situation with trump and UK.

First Up

He has himself to blame. No sympathy for him but its a very unfortunate development for Ireland. An Irish Trade Commissioner was both moral and very practical support for us leading into EU-UK trade negotiations.

It would be a diplomatic triumph for his successor to get the same portfolio but a shuffle is more likely. We (he) blew it and we will be made suffer.

Hard work ahead; the livelehoods of some of those celebrating Hogan's downfall very likely depend on it.

Harris is too young for that job. Frances Fitz, Bruton or Charlie Flanagan! Tricky enough for both FF and FG if they promote a TD and what it will do to their numbers in the Dail.

Our government is useless to give into this rubbish, Ireland is ungovernable now.
Politicians are correct now to draw their generous salaries and do nothing,
