    Certainly,it's just keeps getting better for big Phil.

    Next we'll probably find out he has a call girl in the car with him.

    Call girl, rent boy and a hermaphrodite dwarf, oh and a sheep for afters

    Sweet Jesus you couldnt make this up!

    Stopped by Guards for being on his phone in Kikdare + then headed to Galway! How many rules/ laws did he break here before he even got to Galway.

    I hope the Guards who stopped him gave him penalty points then we will have evidence he was in Kildare yet went to Galway.

    Did he tell the Guards going to Galway + they knew he was breaking rules + let him drive on?

    A lot of questions need to still be answered.

    He went on what is basically shaping up to be a fucking crime spree.

    I'm going to wait at the airport until he's leaving for Brussels and make a citizen's arrest. I'll film it and post it here.

    They would still need to be qualified.
    I'd rather some process devoid of political interference and cronyism.
    As seen by the golf piss up the judiciary, the senate, (supposed watchdogs of government) and government are way too cosy. They are supposed to keep checks on each other.

    What's worse is I would bet a substantial amount of money his car has full integrated blutooth phone connection built in but the wreckless prick didn't see the need to learn to use it as he believes he is above the law. He's a prime example of everything that's wrong in Irish politics (I know we didn't elect him to current position)

    Hope the Guard who let him drive on without giving him a fine and points is punished. Feckers taking cars off people for having no tax. :rolleyes:

    He will not resign. End of story

    He will have to be kicked out, and good luck to Von der Leyen on that front.

    Individual commissioners are nominated by national government, the commission president then designates a portfolio and they they have to go before the European Parliament where they present their policy and are questioned by MEPs. Two nominated commissioners were rejected by the European Parliament last year.


    Do you know what positions the refused were nominated for?
    Does anyone know why he was chosen for Agriculture above others?

    It’s where he’d mysteriously have ended up if big Phil had ended up with penalty points ;);)

    Well done to that Garda that stopped him and reported it up to those above him. And credit to Drew Harris for passing the information on. They could easily have hidden that away.

    Hogan will stay in the EU. He will brazen it out. like he did in Doha with his paramour.

    Can anyone state when an EU Commissioner was sacked before now?

    I'd say it's possible to get to co. Galway from Kilkenny without going via co. Kildare, but seems like mr Phil just drove there to see if he'll be pulled over by the Gardai.

    We would never have known about it only for golfgate. The Garda obviously knew who he was and let him off because of it.

    Was a big deal that Cowen drove on a learners permit but now its not a big deal to drive while using a phone?
