    That looks like he's just left Fianna Fáil - not the Seanad

    He'll probably claim expenses on the journey home and stationary...

    so he won't be defending himself in front of the seanad andwon't get a gardaí investigation (more than likely)another one runs to the finish and grabs gold it seems

    He's resigned from Fianna Fail. That means f*ck all to be honest - he's still a senator, is still in reciept of a salary, will still get all his other benefits & worst of all - he can still claim expenses.

    Nothing much has changed.

    Perhaps, maybe I got a little over excited, I sincerely hope that means the end of him politically, it would take some brass neck for him to try and retain his Seanad seat, especially given that he was put there by Fianna Fail, but if anyone has a brass neck, it's quite possibly this man!

    A true Fianna Failer just the same.

    Arrogant to the bitter end.

    As this thread goes on, it is you we'll blame, not him.

    Don't take it personally.

    ". . . conduct unbecoming a Fianna Fail member" i.e. he got caught.

    In a better run country, he would have been arrested and charged a long time ago, not this sympathy seeking resigning crap.

    All Greens deserve a double tap at the least.

    So, the only difference is that he's not Fianna Fail's problem anymore?


    I am absolutely sure this has nothing to do with them covering their ass at all.

    Out of interest, who has the power to sack this man? I've heard it said that the Taoiseach doesn't, so how can he be removed from office if he doesn't go voluntarily?

    I don't think he can be removed other than at the next election. That's the way it should be tbh, despite our desire to get rid of this guy

    Hurray - a good fcuking start!

    Now we will see will he be allowed go quietly by his mates or will there be an attempt to reclaim any expenses (yes, I know - hell will freeze over quicker!)

    But he is an unelected member, I think that as such he should be ejected by the person who put him in this position.

    I could almost be inspired out of inaction to protest against this facker retaining his seat, might well see if I can recruit a mob!

    Yeah he's an unelected member but in the grand scheme of things it's better that people can't be removed from the houses of the Oireachtas on the whim of one man or one party don't you think? If it could be done it could well end up the other way, where one person tries to speak out against the abuse of expenses and they end up getting kicked out by the rest*








    *I realise how unlikely that is in this country but you get the point :P

    this man will never face a court in this country,they really are a disgrace.
    they honestly think they are doing no wrong.
    as for the judisiary standing back and watching from a distance they are almost as bad.the gardai,c.a.b. and the fraud squad should have arrested and questioned him already.
    this country is a laughing stock when it comes to corrupt politicians,yet they now want to fine us for going for a pint of milk to the shops in our work vans.
