    Right so, you are not worth replying to. Your just pissed off your buddy was caught rotten , again.
    I would not want to be in a trench next to you fighting for Ireland.

    Fighting for Ireland? Now why would anyone want to fight for Ieland?

    Let me say just one last time...the covid police sicken my hole.

    I was in the park last week and I saw one of the covid police berate an old man for walking too close to her.

    I wanted to scream but passed by...slightly ashamed.

    She sickened my hole with her pomposity and self righteousness.. just like the posters here.

    They all break the rules...and they know it.

    No Doobs, Jameson and unemployment because of this **** show.

    Waterford, for me, and Ill say what I God Damn please as long as I am not directly offending anyone, that OK chief?

    No worries chief, I thought you were someone else.

    My mistake enjoy the bants (thumbs up)

    What are you talking about?

    Ireland doesn't have covid police.

    I'm thinking a GoFundMe page. To fund the the egging of Phil anytime he appears in public - and the hotel and anyone else involved. Sean ORourke too.

    Funds for materiel and court fines. A bit of light-hearted relief to help raise the spirits of the nation.

    We are a neutral country, why would you be fighting?



    Trench warfare anyway ended after WW1, so no idea why you would be in a trench in first place.

    Sicken my hole?

    Your arse hole like?

    They sicken your arsehole?

    I mean if someone were attending an event at a hotel it wouldn't be unreasonable for them to assume the hotel would be taking the necessary steps to ensure the restrictions were being respected.

    And even if he asked the hotel 'are you guys sure you're respecting the current restrictions' they would have said 'yep'; since they're stating they had believed they were complying with the guidelines and had even checked with the Irish Hotel Federation.

    So was he supposed to go and count the number of people there and leave when it exceeded 50? Or how was it supposed to work?

    They knew well they were no abiding social distancing rules, 8 to 10 people were seated at one table including the billionaire hotel owner John Sweeney...who was convicted of fraud in 2010 then wines and dines the newly appointed Judge at the Golf banquet.

    OK, I get it, you are edgy and like to live outside the rules. And you dont like the 'Covid Police'. Maybe start a thread about that topic to vent your disgust with us plebs.

    But Im talking about PHIL HOGAN

    Mr. Hogan should retire from Public life. Stop trying to change the subject. Your diversionary tactic is weak.

    So everything is fine with you then I guess? Is everything OK with the way the contry is being run? What do you think could be done better or are the Govt. doing a sterling job?

    Drop the 'Covid police' strawman please

    EDIT** PHIL HOGAN SHOULD RESIGN***

    Whtbare you outraged? Explain to me why Phil Hogan should resign because he attended a golf day.

    He is not a member of government. He works for the EU.

    Why the hysteria? For me this represents social media at its worst with people constantly looking for reasons to be angry...and showcase others transgressions, however minor.

    He apologised. What more do you want?

    At the end of day. it was a golf club. Lads went for a few beers, plenty of soakage beforehand. No-one drove home.



    The problem was the guidelines changed and they would have got away with it before that, they should have called it off, didn't and got caught. paid for it. Done


    Now we have the people I best describe as "Would someone please think of the children" running around like headless chicken. Let them run I say, let them run.



    I still have no idea why someone is talking about the trench's, baffling.

    Ah , here, dont play the dumb to avoid my questions.

    I understand he is not a member of the Govt. What I want to hear is Leo and MM to come out a say they re backing him 100% or they dont. One or the other.
    Then I'd like to see ursula von der leyen can his large arse. Not gonna happen, so Ill scream into the void here.

    I think you will find I dont approve of the event.

    But you will also find people with employment and working are getting on with their lives. Their whole life doesn't revolve around what MM and FF say on a daily basis or if some TD went for a few pints and got sacked.

    Dont think at any stage you are or ever will be speaking for the rest of Ireland.

    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.

    Fukin brilliant, thanks for that

    I heard Phil did not stay in the Station House Hotel on the night of the dinner because it wasn't up to his standards. I think he went to the Abbeyglen or Ballynahinch Castle (owned by Denis O'Brien).

    Yeah, exactly, Im trying to walk the fine line and sure would like to speak plainly. I am soo sick of some posters bilge here, I just had to do some of the lifting against them.

    I Iove a healthy debate with totally different opinions, but thats not what these posters are about, they are running defense, its so obvious.

    Id better not say any more...

    Phil Hogan is a See You Next Tuesday, but he's our See You Next Tuesday.

    If people want to be virtuous, you're better than me. We need him in his role defending our interests throughout Brexit negotiations. The Brits will do all they can to make hay out of this.
